Cost of Citizenship by Investment

A transparent breakdown of what a second citizenship really costs, from investment amounts to government fees, due diligence and professional costs across the leading programs.

How Much Does Citizenship by Investment Cost?

The true cost of Citizenship by Investment goes beyond the headline investment figure. Alongside the qualifying contribution or property purchase, applicants should budget for government fees, due-diligence charges, and professional costs. The table below sets out the starting investment for each program we advise on.

What makes up the total cost?

Every program has four main cost components: the qualifying investment (a government contribution or approved real estate); government and application fees; due-diligence fees charged per applicant to fund background checks; and professional fees for legal and advisory services. Property routes such as Turkey also involve transfer and title costs, but the asset can typically be resold after the holding period.

Contribution vs real estate

A government contribution is a lower, non-refundable outlay, while a real estate investment is higher but recoverable after the required holding period. The best choice depends on your budget and whether you value liquidity or a tangible asset. Compare all factors on our program comparison page.
