Ever dreamed of holding a passport that lets you travel more freely, do business internationally, or just flex your “global citizen” status? Well, some countries make it possible, if your wallet is deep enough. These programs, called citizenship-by-investment, let you legally acquire a second passport by investing in their economy.
Here’s a look at 10 countries where you can do just that, and what it’ll cost you:
1. Malta – $699,000
The priciest on the list, but Malta’s EU passport is worth it if you want access to Europe without visa headaches.
2. Montenegro – $524,000
A tiny Balkan gem with big perks. Citizenship here comes with a shot at EU travel and a chilled lifestyle.
3. Turkey – $494,000
Mix of city life and history. With Turkey, you can invest in real estate and still get a passport.
4. Jordan – $494,000
Not just deserts and ancient sites—Jordan offers a strategic Middle East passport for investors.
5. St. Kitts & Nevis – $250,000
