What is citizenship by investment?
Citizenship by investment is a unique program that enables you to get a passport and citizenship of a given country, if you make an investment in this country’s economy. Citizenship by investment has become especially popular among wealthy individuals in the past several years and continues gaining popularity and attracting new investors.
Portugal has recently started a Golden Visa program which allows investors to obtain permanent residence and citizenship status within 5 years.
Why do you need citizenship by investment?
In contrast to traditional immigration processes, obtaining second citizenship and passport is much easier and quicker through citizenship-by-investment programs. You don’t have to put your lives on hold or make other disruptions in your schedule. If you have high income, this “economic” citizenship may offer boundless opportunities to you.
There are plenty of reasons to invest in a second passport, ranging from visa-free travel to personal safety.
Education
Citizenship status automatically qualifies you as a domestic student, thereby offering you access to local world-class colleges and universities at a much smaller tuition fee.
Family
Second citizenship programs allow members of the principal applicant’s family to become citizens of the new country too. It is a great opportunity to improve the lifestyle of your family members, by giving them access to better quality health care, schools and secure communities.
Visa Free Travel
Passports of the countries that offer economic citizenship programs enable your visa-free travel to many countries of the world, including those of the Schengen Area.
Safety and Security
Since the beginning of the twenty-first century, many countries of the world have experienced political turmoil and unrest, oftentimes accompanied by military action and property seizure. Second citizenship can offer you a “safe haven”, where you can be sure that nothing endangers your life and the life of your family.
Business
By obtaining your citizenship through investment, you not only get a second passport, but you also become an owner of a business/property. This opens new business opportunities for you, which you can easily explore by capitalising on your extended travel freedom.
Taxation
Many countries that propose economic citizenship offer more favourable tax rates, which provides room for tax optimisation. In many countries, you have to pay tax only for the income earned in that country, with no taxes on global income.
What’s in it for the countries?
The countries that offer citizenship by investment aspire to attract investments in their economies. For example, you may invest in real estate, land development and infrastructure projects in Cyprus, resort development in Grenada, or invest in the Sugar Industry Diversification Foundation in St. Kitts and Nevis.
You may learn more information about investment options, visa-free access and specific advantages and qualifications under the section for each country below.
These countries also offer you an opportunity to invest in land, real estate, property, resort villas and condominiums.

What clients say About Our Immigration Consultants?
After very long time of waiting for this day, after a lot struggle, ups and downs the unbelievable happened. Thanks to Veronika Barbakadze and Jane Katkova-Brown and to everybody in the immigration consultancy firm, I've got my VISA that will allow me to change my future. With my unusual story, my visa process was very complicated, unexpected and with a low chance of success. Since the very first day, Veronika Barbakadzewas in touch with me almost on daily basis. There are no words that can describe her personality and her professionalism as well as her commitment to her client’s goals. This is a new beginning and definitely a new step in a new world of opportunities, first step in a very long journey that will eventually change my life. I highly recommend them for immigration services.

Our family has known Jane Katkova since 1997, when after evaluating our file she accepted our case to work to obtain a Permanent Residence Visa in Canada. Our case was complicated as we were applying from a third country. It took 2 years of mutual efforts to get a positive result. During this time, Jane personally maintained contact, calling us and updating on the status of our case, giving us professional advice and encouraging us. In 1999, our family successfully moved to Canada and our nearly first visit was to Jane Katkova's office where we got a warm welcome and also handy tips about what our steps should be to set up our living in Toronto. Jane gave us a list of useful contacts, my first resume was composed and translation services provided. We would definitely recommend to everyone in need of immigration services who is looking for positive result to deal with Jane Katkova and Associates.

Jay Katsnelson
After very bad experience with 2 previous lawyers I and my husband were recommend to go to Jane Katkova & associates and after a bit more than a year our immigration process is done!! Even though our previous lawyer did lots of mistakes and in the beginning, we had many problems, thanks to professional Jane's team and especially Veronika, everything went smoothly and we got our PR. Despite all problems we had, Veronika was positive all the time, never gave up and didn't let us even think something could go wrong. And what is more important, she not only take care of our case but also helped us in a very difficult and hard situation of our life not really associated with the immigration process. I personally know at least 3 persons Veronika was working with, 2 of those cases were successfully completed and 3rd is almost done too. Thank you to all Jane Katkova & Associates team and especially Veronika and Jane!!!
Ana Dubako
We were referred to Jane Katkova by our friends, and never regret it! Jane is very professional, knowledgeable in Canada's immigration law and most important cares about people. Every case for Jane seems to be personal and she always makes sure she does her best. I want to thank Jane for the effort she made for my family, for her creativity that comes from her heart, and for the positive result. Without her help and her guidance we would not get what we have now! Special thanks to Irena Lasker for her hard work and positive attitude!

I came across this opportunity to write a review about Jane Katkova on Google and I will do it with big pleasure. My immediate and extended family has been the client of Jane since the beginning of the 2000s. First, Jane brought to Canada my sister as a skilled immigrant from Germany. After, Jane brought to Canada my mother for the family reunification. I referred many friends to Jane, all of them received permanent residence with her help. The last person from my family Jane was dealing with was my aunt. We first dealt with her situation on our own through Canadian Embassy in Turkey and were refused. Jane took the case, appealed the negative decision and WON! She does miracles and always puts her heart to her clients. Thanks to Jane and her team! Special thanks to Irena Lasker, always to the point, accurate and attentive. Great immigration services! Yana Pchelkin and family

We were referred to Jane Katkova by our social worker in JIAS. The social worker told us that Jane helped many their clients and that we will not regret. The social worker gave us names of some other lawyers to check out, and we visited all of them. We decided to work with Jane and we never regretted it for a second. My son first received a student visa. And later in spite our situation was very difficult, all of us - my daughter, my son and me received permanent residence. Jane was not only very professional when representing us, but we felt that she really cared. And so did her team. Irena Lasker was great too. It is a year since we received a status. We are very thankful to Jane Katkova @ Associates. If you decided to go to them - you will have best on your side.
Natan Abramov

I met Jane 6 years ago when I was looking to apply for a permanent resident status in Canada and was referred to her by a relative who used her immigration services in the past. during the first consultation meeting, i saw that she knows what she's talking about. Jane and her staff guided me every step of the way from submitting my application to receiving my PR card. now it's time to apply for Canadian citizenship and I was back at her office this week using her help once again.
Joe Berman
For various reasons, my parents spent more time out of Canada than they had to maintain their residency status. If not Jane Katkova, they would hardly win the appeal. Jane is not only seasoned professional with a great number of successful representations, but she is very kind and sensitive to her clients' needs. Her employees were very helpful and professional. It was a pleasure working with her firm. I would definitely recommend hiring Jane for every matter related to Immigration services.
Leo Idelchik
Had a very nice experience with this skillful and knowledgeable agency. Jane helped me a lot with all my questions and overall left me with a pleasant feeling. I am very grateful for all her help. I highly recommend their immigration services.
Sophia Netanel
I would like to especially thank Jane Katkova and Irina Tulneva for their time and hard work in regards to my work permit extension application. They have been very patient answering all my questions before and after I retained their immigration services. They are truly the immigration expert and spend a lot of time with their client to build a solid case. Over the years in Canada I have met several lawyers which to me most of them consider you as a number or another client, however Jane Katkova and her team know you as a person and they truly care about your situation, getting a successful results and look at the very best approach to each and individual immigration cases. I would without hesitation highly recommend anyone to meet Jane for an appointment and see the difference compare to any other immigration lawyer. Jane is the best!!!
