Citizenship by Investment Eligibility

Find out who qualifies for Citizenship by Investment, including the requirements, documents and due-diligence standards you will need to meet.

Am I Eligible for Citizenship by Investment?

Citizenship by Investment programs are designed for reputable individuals who can pass strict due diligence and make a qualifying investment. While each program has its own rules, the core eligibility requirements are broadly consistent across the programs VH Citizenship advises on.

Main applicant requirements

To qualify as a main applicant you must generally be at least 18 years of age, be of good character with no serious criminal record, be in good health, and be able to demonstrate a lawful source of the funds used for your investment. Reputable programs conduct enhanced background checks to protect the integrity of their citizenship.

Who can be included as a dependent?

Most programs allow you to include your legally married spouse and dependent children. Many also extend to parents and grandparents, and in some cases dependent siblings. Age limits and conditions vary by program — for example, dependent children are often covered up to their mid-twenties if in full-time education.

Source of funds and due diligence

A cornerstone of every legitimate program is due diligence. Applicants must provide documentation proving their identity, financial history and the lawful origin of their investment funds. This protects both the country and the value of your new citizenship.

Documents you will typically need

Common requirements include a valid passport, birth and marriage certificates, police clearance certificates, proof of address, financial statements, and evidence of source of wealth. Our team manages this documentation end-to-end so your application meets government standards first time.
