Question 1

Is citizenship by investment actually legal?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every program we advise on is created by national law and run by a dedicated government unit. St Kitts & Nevis has operated its program since 1984, and applications are decided by the government itself, never by agents or consultancies. Only licensed local agents may submit files to these government units. We prepare your case and represent your interests, and a licensed agent of record lodges the application.

Question 2

What does a second passport really cost, all-in?

Accepted Answer

More than the headline number, and anyone who tells you otherwise is hiding something. On top of the donation or investment you pay government processing fees, due diligence fees for each adult family member, passport fees, and professional fees. As a verified example: a family of four through the St Kitts & Nevis donation route pays the $250,000 contribution plus roughly $20,000 in government fees, before professional fees. You get the exact itemised figure for your family size in writing before committing to anything.

Question 3

How long does it take to get a Caribbean passport?

Accepted Answer

Realistically 6 to 10 months for most programs, including the mandatory interview and government due diligence. Official brochure timelines are often shorter than reality. We quote current processing conditions per program. St Lucia, for example, is presently running a significant backlog, and we tell you that before you choose it, not after.

Question 4

Will a Caribbean passport always give me visa-free Europe?

Accepted Answer

Today, yes: all our Caribbean programs currently include visa-free Schengen access for 90 days in any 180. But the EU has a suspension mechanism that explicitly targets investor-citizenship programs, and no honest advisor can guarantee that access forever. Our rule: never buy a Caribbean passport for Schengen access alone. If EU access is your main goal, a European residency or work route is usually the better answer, and we will tell you so.

Question 5

Can I just buy EU citizenship?

Accepted Answer

No. No EU country sells citizenship any more; the EU Court of Justice ended the last such program (Malta) in April 2025. Every legitimate European route is residency first, citizenship later, under each country's naturalisation rules. Portugal currently requires 10 years of legal residence (7 for nationals of Portuguese-speaking countries), Greece requires 7 years of genuine residence plus a language exam, and Malta's naturalisation is discretionary. We state these clocks plainly because they are exactly where this industry tends to oversell.

Question 6

I don't have $200,000+. What are my options?

Accepted Answer

Work-based residency. Portugal, Greece, Malta, and the Netherlands all offer employment and skilled-migration permits with no capital requirement, leading to permanent residence after about five years and eventually citizenship. Be aware of what this involves: a genuine job, genuinely living in the country, and a multi-year commitment. We never sell job offers, and anyone who promises you a guaranteed job abroad for a fee is someone to walk away from.

Question 7

What does the work route cost, and what if my permit is refused?

Accepted Answer

Two fees. A $700 processing fee, paid only after your free consultation confirms you qualify; it covers paperwork, document preparation, and permit processing support. The main service charge of $5,700 is paid only after you arrive in your destination country, with instalment plans available. Paying the larger part after arrival is deliberate: it protects you, and it means we only succeed when you do. If your permit application is refused, your $700 processing fee is credited in full toward one re-filing within 12 months (same or alternative destination); if re-filing is not possible or you choose not to proceed, 50% is refunded. If the refusal results from an eligibility issue we failed to identify at screening, you receive a full refund. Government and third-party fees are set and retained by the authorities and are not refundable.

Question 8

Will I have to give up my current citizenship?

Accepted Answer

Usually not. The Caribbean programs, Portugal, Greece, and Malta all allow dual citizenship. The main exception in our lineup is the Netherlands, which generally requires renouncing your existing nationality when naturalising, with limited exceptions. If keeping your current passport matters to you, this rules certain routes out, and we factor it into our advice from the first call.

Question 9

Why work with ImmiPort instead of a bigger firm?

Accepted Answer

Because of how we are paid. Many large firms in this industry also hold government marketing mandates or earn developer commissions on the properties they recommend, which creates an obvious conflict of interest. We take no government mandates and no developer kickbacks, we publish fixed professional fees, and our advice includes the option of not buying at all. The filing itself is always done by licensed agents in each jurisdiction.

Question 10

What if my application gets refused?

Accepted Answer

Refusals usually trace back to problems that were visible at the start: source-of-funds gaps, residency history, or nationality restrictions. That is why we pre-screen these risks before you engage us and decline cases we believe will fail. If we take your case, you will know your realistic approval outlook and our fee terms for every stage in writing before any money moves.

Question 11

What happens with my personal and financial information?

Accepted Answer

Investment-migration applications legally require detailed identity and source-of-funds documentation; that is part of what keeps these programs legitimate. Your file is shared only with the licensed agent of record and the government unit deciding your application. We do not sell or pass your data to marketers, developers, or third parties.
