Diversification knows no bounds, so why not diversify your passport portfolio as well? Having citizenship from a second or third country can come really handy if you are an investor or entrepreneur trying to take advantage of global opportunity, or even a corrupt 3rd world country official who is trying to escape and enjoy the millions of dollars you stole.

I will go through a few countries today, but there are so many more countries out there offering citizenship and residency that I can’t possibly mention them all. Do your research if you would like to find out more.

1. St. Kitts and Nevis – You will only need to donate $250,000 or buy a $400,000 real estate property to get citizenship in this two-island paradise. The citizenship application is only 3 pages and takes about six to eight months to process. Citizens can travel to 131 countries visa-free.

2. Antigua and Barbuda – Donate $200,000 or buy $400,000 in real estate property. The process takes three to four months. Citizens can travel to 132 countries visa-free, including Canada and UK.

3. Dominica – Invest $100,000 plus fess and receive citizenship. There is no need to even live there. Citizens can travel 87 countries like the UK, Ireland, Switzerland, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore visa-free, but a visa is required for North America or European countries. Dominica is not to be mistaken with Dominican Republic.

If you are looking for European countries, several countries offer citizenship such as Cyprus, Hungary, Malta, etc., but it will cost you several millions dollars.
