Which is the fastest citizenship by investment program in 2019?

Almost all "CIPs" or "CBIs" in 2019 (citizenship by investment programs) have more or less similar processes. The applicant signs a contract with the official agent of the programmes as Discus Holdings Ltd. The official agent helps to collect the necessary documents and to start the investment or contribution part of the operation. The receiving state needs time to fulfill the due diligence check with the help of several international law enforcement organisation, like the Interpol. During the last phase, the state decides about the application. There is one more new and vital issue. For example in the case of the Maltese citizenship scheme (Malta Individual Investor Programme), the applicants must become regular residents for one year before obtaining the passport of the EU Member State. And if the primary applicant wishes to bring his or her family as well, then the time frame of collecting the documents and the due diligence will increase. Let's see how much time does it take to grant citizenship through investment under the most useful schemes!

European citizenship programmes in 2019

• Malta: within two years but not earlier than six months from the date of the application.
