Citizenship by Investment for Families with Adult Children
There are certain citizenship by investment programs that are suitable for families with adult children depending on the children’s ages and employment status. We have listed the relevant programs and their respective conditions below.

How is ‘financial dependency’ determined?
The respective programs have their own rulesets that they use to determine whether an adult child is financially dependent or not. In most cases, it depends on the employment status of the child, and whether the child is currently studying or not. Please schedule a free consultation with our team for complete clarification on your specific situation. During the consultation, our team will let you know which programs your family can apply for.
When uncertain, our team will obtain confirmation from the respective citizenship unit before we submit your application for official due diligence.
What if my adult child is not eligible to be included in my application?
Your adult child can still get citizenship but we will have to process a separate application for him/her.
