Citizenship by Investment (CBI) has become widely adopted all over the world but especially in Europe and the Caribbean. Essentially, while most countries have long and complicated processes when it comes to providing citizenships, a few countries do offer citizenship by investments or donations or both that are economical. Such programmes grant individuals and their families citizenship of a particular country in exchange for economic investment.
