Programms for Citizenship through Investition in international comparison
Citizenship programs vary widely. Some offer Golden Visas, others a temporary residence permit, and only a few offer full citizenship.
Despite the fundamental differences between the programs, ARGO Consulting offers you guidance here in comparing citizenship programs. The programs differ significantly. In some countries, for example, the purchase of real estate is mandatory, while other programs are very expensive. The costs of applying for citizenship for an entire family and the required documentation must also be taken into account. In our opinion, the program in São Tomé and Príncipe is the most affordable and fastest option.
