THE WHY
30 minutes — no obligation
A single citizenship means your entire life’s work is held hostage by governments and politicians you didn’t choose. A second passport or residency gives you options.
Skip waiting weeks for visas and navigating international business rules. Upgrade your access to enter the world’s most elite destinations on your own terms.
Stop letting aggressive tax regimes bleed your hard-earned liquidity. Shift your capital to asset-protective jurisdictions designed to protect your wealth.
When geopolitical noise turns into actual chaos, don't negotiate — leave. Secure guaranteed access to stable, high-end safe havens.
In an era of relentless government overreach, privacy is ultimate power. Secondary citizenship and residency helps you navigate international banking, global structuring, and travel.
Cash inflates and systems crumble. Today, legacy means establishing multi-generational freedom that guarantees your children will never be trapped by a single jurisdiction.
Clients
Katia R.
Family of four
Another family just got their insurance plan in place. Four passports, one file, zero noise.

Marc D.
Founder, logistics group
With my previous firm I sent everything in week one and they took five months to even submit — a new document request every two weeks. Here the file moved the way it was promised.
Vincent L.
Family office principal
They told me which two countries mattered, what it cost and how long it would take. No 40-page memo. My family moved before the reform passed.

Pieter V.
Second citizenship, solo
Grenada with a brick-and-mortar firm was an email marathon. This process was quiet, fast and cost-effective — unreal.

B. Kaur
Tech investor
I had tried the process before with local lawyers — too much red tape and zero privacy. Five months total from application to passport in hand.
Board director
Name withheld
Discretion was non-negotiable. Nothing about my file ever left the room.

FAQ
No bureaucratic noise. If something is unclear, ask us directly on the call.
Still unsure
Ask us directly,
off the record.
The Blunt Truth: No, being American is not good enough. You’ve seen what’s happening in this country. It’s become chaotic and unlivable for many people. Soon, that could be you. A smart person has Plan B ready-to-go in an emergency.
A single passport means you’re exposed to all the political risks of that country. In the United States, this means aggressive taxation, unpredictable politics, and government overreach. It’s hard to escape America when you’re just a U.S. citizen.
Real luxury isn't a home, a yacht, or a watch. Real luxury is having options. It's the power to move yourself, your family, and your capital anywhere in the world quickly. As the world grows tough on immigration, you’ll only have options if you secure status now before those options close.
The Short Answer: Yes, it’s 100% legal.
Many countries have well-known citizenship-by-investment programs to attract capital. The whole process is codified in law. There are no bribes and no laws broken.
The investments are government-approved, in real estate, investment funds, or local businesses. In exchange, you get citizenship or residency rights.
The Reality Check: No. The U.S. is one of only two countries in the world that taxes based on citizenship, not residency. Whether you live in America or abroad, if you’re a citizen, you’re getting taxed.
To avoid U.S. taxes forever, you must formally renounce U.S. citizenship. We can help with that, too.
Having a second passport gives you the flexibility to cut ties with America and the IRS if U.S. taxes become too high. Short of that step, a second passport can help you move assets abroad to legally avoid U.S. taxes as much as possible.
The Truth: No. Only if you want to.
The United States allows dual citizenship with many countries. Other countries with citizenship-by-investment programs also permit dual citizenship with the U.S.
So, you can keep your U.S. passport to travel or come home, while spending as much time out of the country as you wish.
Freedom costs money. How much is freedom and security worth to you?
In the Caribbean, you can get fast-track Citizenship for around $200,000. Processing takes up to 6 months.
In Europe, Golden Visa residency investments cost between $60,000 and $1,000,000. Countries like Italy, France, Greece, Latvia and Malta offer them. You can move immediately and travel freely around Europe’s Schengen region.
We don't hide costs. Our experts will give you the whole price upfront with a timeline to completion on Day 1. Additional services such as tax planning and estate formation may have additional costs.
The Bottom Line: Legacy firms love to over-charge and under-deliver. They drown you in 50-page memos that you’re forced to sign without reading. They don’t guarantee success. They’re insulated from risk and pass it onto you.
Each program boasts dedicated, qualified representatives with decades of experience, guiding you from your first consultation through to having your passport or residency card in hand.
IBI’s founders have gone through these programs themselves. We vet all of our strategic partners and experts to ensure you’re working with the best in the business, no matter the citizenship or residency of your choosing.
