Citizenship Programs
from the EU &
Dominica
Canadian citizenship requires spending some time in Canada – 3 years within a 5-year period. For some HNIs, this is not feasible. This is where the Portuguese, Dominica, and Maltese options are ideal.
These programs do not require time spent within the country before getting residency status. For those who may be interested, the EU options provide you with the right to live in the European Union and travel to more than 186 countries visa-free.
