Tajikistan

Wealthy investors looking for a second passport and citizenship may find Tajikistan to be a less appealing option. The country is dealing with issues such as political instability and social unrest, which could diminish its appeal to those who place a high value on stability and flexibility. Seeking other alternatives for second citizenship is recommended.

TAJIKISTAN CITIZENSHIP INVESTMENT

Currently, Tajikistan does not have a Citizenship by Investment (CBI) programme; individuals can explore naturalization, descent, or alternative CBI programmes as pathways to acquire citizenship. Alternatives, such as Grenada or Dominica are recommended for investors seeking a second passport with additional benefits in terms of safety and manoeuvrability.

TAJIKISTAN RESIDENCY INVESTMENT

Tajikistan also lacks any residency by investment programme. Unlike countries allowing foreign individuals to obtain residency through financial investments, Tajikistan’s current immigration policies lack a formalized structure for acquiring residency through investment. Investors seeking alternatives for residency investment may find the Hungary Golden Visa noteworthy, providing a structured pathway for second residency through strategic investments.

TAJIKISTAN PASSPORT STRENGTH AND RANKING

In La Vida’s Global Passport Ranking, Tajikistan ranks at 132. If the country were to implement a second citizenship programme, foreign investors would only gain visa-free entry to 32.2% of countries, accounting for 18.9% of global travel. More robust passports are available through various other citizenship by investment (CBI) programmes. For instance, Portugal’s passport ranks 25th, providing superior global travel freedom and making it a preferred citizenship solution for high-net-worth individuals. Portuguese citizenship can be acquired after a period of five years following a golden visa application.
