Citizenship by Investment Programs, 2026.
An independent, partner-level hub on every active CBI route for 2026 — the Caribbean Five, Malta, Turkey, Egypt, Jordan, Vanuatu, Nauru, Cambodia and the European pathways frequently mistaken for CBI. Each briefing covers realistic timelines, qualifying routes, what changed this year, and how the passport fits a real cross-border structure. We do not publish capital figures; contact us for live numbers and a fit assessment.

What clients actually ask before they commit.
Which 2026 citizenship-by-investment program is the fastest to a passport?
Vanuatu remains the quickest at 1–2 months for a clean file, followed by the Caribbean Five (St Kitts & Nevis, Dominica, Grenada, Antigua & Barbuda, Saint Lucia) at roughly 3–6 months. Speed should never be the only criterion — due-diligence posture, banking acceptance, and visa-free coverage matter more once you actually use the passport.
Which CBI passports still give visa-free access to the UK and Schengen in 2026?
All five Caribbean programs retain Schengen access (subject to the new ETIAS process) and most retain UK visa-free access. Coverage moves — we maintain a live matrix and confirm before any client commits capital.
Does a citizenship-by-investment passport automatically change my tax residency?
No. Tax residency depends on where you actually live, your centre of vital interests, and the rules of the jurisdictions involved. We design the citizenship leg in parallel with a deliberate tax-residency choice — often Singapore, Hong Kong, UAE or Mauritius — so the two reinforce each other.
What's the difference between citizenship by investment and residency by investment?
Citizenship gives you a passport and the right to live, work, and travel as a national. Residency gives you the right to live in a country, sometimes with a path to citizenship after several years of physical presence. CBI is faster and document-light; residency is cheaper but usually requires real presence. See our residency hub for the 2026 RBI program list.
How does Xavion handle source-of-funds and source-of-wealth on a CBI file?
We build the narrative file before submission: corroborated income trail, audited accounts where they exist, tax filings, asset-sale documentation, banking references that match the story. The internal standard we apply is stricter than the program's own vendors — by design.
Why don't you publish CBI program costs on this page?
Headline figures move and the real number depends on family size, route, due-diligence loadings and (where applicable) real-estate carrying costs. We give live figures, in writing, after a short fit assessment.
Residency-by-investment alternatives
