Bridges (https://bridges.global/), a citizenship and residency advisory firm based in Budapest, outlines the main options available in 2026 for families seeking second citizenship or a residence permit through official government investment programs.

A residence permit lets a person live in a country, while citizenship by investment grants a passport, usually without a residence requirement. Bridges recommends comparing five factors: the goal (visa-free travel, tax planning, family relocation or a plan B); the budget, from roughly $90-130k (Nauru, Vanuatu) to $250k+ (Caribbean) and $400k+ (Turkiye); timelines, from 1-2 to 6-9 months; stay and visit requirements; and family inclusion and due diligence. Figures change, so applicants should check official program sites.

Bridges covers citizenship-by-investment programs in St Kitts & Nevis, Antigua, Grenada, St Lucia, Dominica, Vanuatu, Nauru, Turkiye and others, and residence permits in Hungary, Bulgaria and more. The firm also offers property selection from a 5,000+ listing database, company formation, bank accounts and full relocation support.
