Expanding Your Horizons w/ Citizenship By Investment
summary
Platform CitizenX sells citizenship-by-investment access, five Caribbean states run CBI programs, and governments double prices July 1 in response to EU/US pressure; typical clients are “poor millionaires” ($2–5M) seeking travel freedom or an insurance exit from political risk. CBI applications require fiat payments into donations, real estate or bonds — CBI requires fiat — and governments perform intrusive due diligence; correspondent-banking cutoffs threaten transaction flows. Examples built: Montenegro and Antigua programs, an Anguilla tax-residency product, and early Bitcoin-aligned experiments like El Salvador issuing incentives to attract citizens.
