History

Citizenship by investment schemes known to exist since 1980’s, it only became popular since 2010.  US and Canada operated golden visa schemes since the 1990’s and golden visas in Europe became popular only after 2012. The CBI/RBI industry is set to expand to $20 billion market and already sees significant competition and more and more players are entering the market.

Citizenship Shop is also planned launch as the world’s first online shop, serving luxury clients and high net worth investors, until then it will exist only as an online platform. The shop will offer over 10 citizenship by investment schemes and 20 golden visa schemes to wealthy HNW individuals and their families.

Citizenship Shop is a new shopping idea to promote investment based citizenship and residency schemes including luxury real estate to  shoppers seeking second citizenship. Our online platform achieves more results with new technologies simplifying immigration system. It will be a game changer in the investment immigration industry and beats competitors who have failed to innovate. The idea of citizenship shop is unique and never been tried before. It will change the world on how they look at citizenship.

Wealth

A second passport is seen as a new status symbol of the twentieth century. Rather than buying a Ferrari or Lamborghini for $250K, a HNW client can wisely invest the same money, in a second citizenship for family and generations to come. This could also be a real estate investment for ultra high net-worth family.

Wealth has been increasing significantly in many countries and so as people seeking second citizenships seeking new live, freedom of movement, and education for family. For example in 1990’s over 250 million chinese were living in Poverty and wealth has significantly increased in 2013 only 25 million live under poverty.

Futurism

We love futurism and the world is constantly evolving fast with new technologies. In about 50 years we believe the world will completely change with matters of citizenship.  In 2018 Malta became the first country to announce citizenship test for robots and Saudi Arabia because a first country in the world to grant citizenship to Robot Sophia.  We also believe citizenship will extend to space in about 100 years. Citizenship shop will explore new opportunities in the future with robots and space. Although it may seem unrealistic, we believe it is only a matter of time.
