Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Great Britain are countries which offer residence to wealthy individuals and investors. Other countries offer citizenship-for-investment programmes, commonly known as Economic Citizenship Programmes. There are now only two countries which offer legal and clearly defined programmes on a statutory basis. These are the Commonwealth of Dominica and St. Kitts & Nevis. While there is an established practice, there is no Economic Citizenship Programme as such and only very few cases are approved each year. Still, for a substantial investor Austria can be a very attractive option.
We have studied all current programmes and constantly monitor new developments. St.Kitts & Nevis now clearly offers the most attractive Citizenship-by-Investment Programme available today.
Economic Citizenship Programmes offer you the opportunity to legally acquire a new nationality quickly and simply, without major disruption to your life.

Other routes such as Canadian work permit, and skilled migration are considered to be the easiest compared with USA, UK, Australia, NZ, Europe. To enter Canada as an immigrant, you don't have to be rich as you do in many other countries, but you will be expected to have at least $10 000 when entering the country.
