Independent investment-migration advisory

A second citizenship is a financial decision. We treat it like one.

CIVITAS designs residence and citizenship strategies for individuals and families moving capital across borders. We are paid for our judgement, not for placing you into a program, and we model the full cost and the exit before you commit to anything.

The difference

Everyone in this market is paid when you buy. We are paid to be right.

01

Not an agent

The incumbents help design the very programs they sell you into. We hold no program mandates and take no placement fees, so the recommendation is the advice, not the inventory.

02

Not a broker

The comparison sites are paid when you buy a property or a fund. Ours is a fixed fee for judgement. The only thing we are selling is being right about your situation.

03

A financial model

We do not quote the headline minimum. We model the all-in five-year cost and the exit, and bring in tax counsel for the structuring, because that total is the number that actually decides whether a program is worth it.

How we work

An engagement, not a transaction.

The application is the easy part. The value is in choosing the right structure for a decision that follows your family for generations.

Read our approach
  1. 01

    Map the objective

    Mobility, tax residence, a base for the family, a hedge against one passport. We separate what you actually need from what the market is selling.

  2. 02

    Model the full cost

    Every qualifying route priced to its five-year all-in figure, government fees, legal, due diligence and carrying cost, then stress-tested against the exit.

  3. 03

    Execute the application

    We run the file end to end with vetted local counsel and escrow, and we keep the timeline honest as backlogs and rules shift underneath it.

  4. 04

    Review every year

    Programs change. Your circumstances change. We revisit the structure annually so the architecture still holds a decade from now.

The programs

Every number on this page comes from one source.

Country pages, comparisons and the calculator all read from a single dataset, so the figures can never disagree with each other and each one is dated to the day it was last checked.

The tools

Decide with instruments, not a contact form.

Most firms in this space dead-end every visitor at an enquiry box. We would rather you arrive at a consultation already knowing the shortlist and the real cost.

01

Cost Calculator

The all-in five-year cost, family size included.

Investment, government fees, legal, due diligence and carrying cost in one figure, not the headline minimum.
02

Eligibility Finder

Six questions to your shortlist.

Goals, budget, nationality, family and timeline return a ranked set of programs with the reasoning shown.
03

Passport Index

199 passports, GDP-weighted.

Mobility scored by where you can actually go and what those economies are worth, not a raw count.
04

Live Program Tracker

Open, changed or closed, dated.

A standing record of what is live and what is not, each line carrying the date it was last verified.

Intel

We track the policy so the page is never wrong.
