Passports of high consumer demand

Last few years, many of my friends for various reasons decided to emigrate, and the vast majority of it cost them huge trials in life in a new country. But there is another way to obtain a passport in exchange for investments.

Many countries, having a real need for further development of its economy, resort to additional financing with the help of foreign investors. And given how the current political and economic situation in Russia, the acquisition of citizenship is still in demand with many entrepreneurs and officials.

Knowing some of the possible risks for a successful business to have a "reserve airfield" in certain circles is not only a prestigious task, but sometimes necessary protection from the unpredictable and often changing conditions at home.

Practice citizenship in exchange for property contributions and investment has existed for many years, only over the last decade more than 20 thousand Russian businessmen have acquired passports of other countries. Very popular among wealthy Russians and remain in Cyprus with Malta, which this year became the leader in investment nationality in exchange for approximately €800 thousand, the status of the Maltese citizen will give as the right of free residence and work in the territory of the European Union (+ open visa-free opportunities in more than 150 countries).

With Cyprus as a result of the pressure of the EU, the situation is exacerbated in the eyes. Only the authorities managed to share the success of collecting €4 billion (about 2 thousand "buyers"), as an investigation of the interested services of the European Union came out with comments on the sale of passports to corrupt officials and oligarchs from Russia and Ukraine. The process is started, and obtaining a Cyprus passport is now associated with the additional checks of Interpol, etc. services, to identify financial flows received by a criminal way (strange, because Interpol previously conducted a preliminary test).

Why Pavel Durov chose the tiny island nation of Saint Kitts and Nevis British Commonwealth with a heavenly climate, which is one of the first in 1984 decided to earn money by selling citizenship. Probably because of the lack of taxes for capital gains and income received abroad? Or affect a small amount of "entry" in the amount of $250 thousand with full freedom of movement in countries of South America, Europe and Asia...

For those who wish to be at the peak of the "hype", it is possible to invest in bitcoins equivalent to $200 thousand at the current rate, and to obtain a passport of the Republic of Vanuatu (near Fiji). Then you and similar to the St. Kitts investment conditions, and the government's goal "the restoration of areas affected by hurricane" that will turn you into a philanthropist.

Of course, in America, more stringent conditions: the immigrant investor visa requires an investment of more than $1 million, create at least 10 jobs within 2 years from the date of arrival in the United States. And only after 3 years can apply for a simplified procedure for obtaining citizenship.

And for dessert, the Russian initiative — getting a passport in exchange for investments in the region of the country - the far East. How much do you think you need to invest foreign investor in capital construction, real estate or shares of far Eastern companies?

10 million dollars! Frankly, considerably more than in popular countries for "alternate aerodrome". At the same time to invest will need for 2 years before applying for citizenship, and at least 3 years after that to remain the owner of the asset.

That's interesting, so "attractive" tax system that such investments be justified?! Or the possibility of return of such investments, in contrast to that of Cyprus and Malta solves all...
