About

Foreigners can apply for citizenship under the real estate option, which requires applicants to make an investment in designated, officially approved real estate with a value of at least US$ 400,000 plus the payment of government fees and other fees and taxes.

As the application procedure under this option involves the purchase of the real estate, this can lengthen the processing time depending on the chosen property. Real estate can be re-sold 5 years after the purchase and may not qualify the next buyer for citizenship.

Acquisition of citizenship under the SIDF option requires a contribution to the Sugar Industry Diversification Foundation

Applications for Citizenship cannot be lodged directly at the Citizenship-by-Investment Unit, instead, it can only be handled by registered Authorized Persons.
