CITIZENSHIP AND RESIDENCY BY INVESTMENT PROGRAMMES
See below a selection of countries offering residency and citizenship investment programmes.
Kyrgyzstan’s economy is primarily driven by the agriculture sector. Despite its abundance of natural resources such as gold, uranium, and coal, it is one of the poorest countries in Central Asia. High net worth investors looking to invest in the landlocked nation may wish to consider alternative options. That is countries with more stable and promising investment opportunities that combine residency and citizenship benefits..
Kyrgyzstan, officially known as Kyrgyz Republic, does not offer a citizenship by investment programme. These programmes offer individuals the opportunity to obtain citizenship and a second passport in certain countries by making substantial investments, typically in real estate, national development funds, or local businesses. A number of popular programme are offered in the Caribbean region, including Dominican citizenship through it’s CBI offering.
Kyrgyzstan does not offer a dedicated residency by investment programme either. Foreign investors seeking a streamlined residency process through investment are advised to consider other nations, such as the established offerings in Europe. Popular programmes include the Portuguese and Greek Golden Visa.
Should Kyrgyzstan choose to introduce a Citizenship by Investment programme, it would likely present limited appeal to foreign investors. Currently ranked 129th on La Vida’s Global Passport Ranking, Kyrgyz citizens only enjoy visa-free access to 77 countries.
Alternatively, stronger passports can be acquired through various established citizenship by investment programmes. For example, the St Kitts citizenship by investment, programme a preferred choice for obtaining second citizenship since 1984, offers enhanced global mobility and opportunities for investors.
