Advisory · Residency & citizenship

Residency and citizenship, underwritten like an asset.

We advise owners who need a second residence or second citizenship alongside their property portfolio. Every figure on this page comes from the programme's own authority, every route is checked before it is recommended, and any programme we cannot evidence today is marked by request rather than estimated.

Start with your objective

Step one

Start with the objective, not the passport.

The right programme depends on what you actually need: a place to live, visa-free travel, protection for the family, or a jurisdictional fallback. Select an objective to see which programmes are genuinely relevant.

Step two

Four programmes, compared on the record.

Türkiye

Citizenship

Official minimum: USD 400,000
Qualifying route: Qualifying real estate purchase, valued and registered with a restriction on resale for the holding period.
Indicative timeline: By request
Holding period: 3 years
Family scope: Spouse and children under 18
Physical presence: No residence requirement
Principal risk: Valuation and currency exposure; the appraised value, not the contract price, governs eligibility.

United Arab Emirates

Long-term residence (Golden Visa) — not citizenship

Official minimum: AED 2,000,000
Qualifying route: Ownership of qualifying property at or above the published threshold.
Indicative timeline: By request
Holding period: Eligibility must be maintained; confirm at application
Family scope: Spouse, children and domestic staff sponsorable
Physical presence: Renewable while the qualifying asset is held
Principal risk: The UAE does not offer citizenship by investment; the status is residence and must be maintained.

Official source: u.ae

Grenada

Citizenship

Official minimum: USD 235,000; NTF contribution from USD 235,000; approved real estate from USD 270,000 plus a USD 50,000 government contribution — subject to the current official rules and due diligence.
Qualifying route: Government-approved real estate project, or the national transformation fund contribution.
Indicative timeline: Approximately 3–4 months
Holding period: 5 years
Family scope: Spouse, children, parents and siblings, subject to conditions
Physical presence: No residence requirement
Principal risk: Approved-project exit liquidity is limited; resale depends on the next qualifying applicant.

Vanuatu

Citizenship

Official minimum: By request
Qualifying route: Government contribution programme. We quote only against the current official schedule at the time of engagement.
Indicative timeline: By request
Holding period: By request
Family scope: By request
Physical presence: No residence requirement
Principal risk: Visa-free arrangements with third countries have been suspended in the past; treat travel access as variable.

Minimums are the current official thresholds published by each programme authority and were last checked on 18 August 2026. Thresholds, qualifying routes and processing times change without notice; nothing here is an offer, and eligibility is confirmed only after due diligence.

Step three

How the mandate runs.

Objective and eligibility review

A private call to establish the objective, the family scope, source-of-funds position and any prior refusals. No programme is proposed before this.

Jurisdiction shortlist and cost model

Two or three programmes modelled end to end: official minimum, government and due diligence fees, taxes, legal costs and exit assumptions.

Asset selection and legal structuring

Where the route is property-based, we underwrite the asset itself — title, developer, valuation and resale — with local counsel instructed independently of the seller.

Filing, monitoring and post-approval

Application filed through licensed agents, progress reported in writing, and post-approval obligations tracked until the holding period ends.

Before you commit

What we tell every client first.

These programmes are government policy instruments, not products. They change, and a decision that ignores that is a decision taken badly.

Thresholds and qualifying routes can be raised or withdrawn with little notice.
Visa-free travel lists are political and can be suspended by third countries.
Approved-project property often trades at a premium and resells only to the next qualifying applicant.
Tax residence does not follow citizenship automatically; both must be planned separately.
Source-of-funds and due diligence checks are extensive; prior refusals must be disclosed.
Currency, construction and title risk apply exactly as they would to any other purchase.

Compliance notice

CROWNHAVEN provides advisory and asset underwriting. We are not a law firm, a licensed immigration agent or a tax adviser, and nothing on this page is legal, tax or investment advice or an offer of any programme. Applications are filed only through licensed agents in the relevant jurisdiction. All applicants are subject to independent government due diligence, and approval is never guaranteed.

Questions

Frequently asked.

Does buying property in Dubai give citizenship?

No. The UAE grants long-term residence through the Golden Visa against qualifying property ownership. There is no citizenship-by-investment route in the UAE.

Why is the Vanuatu minimum shown as by request?

We publish a figure only when a current official primary source states it. Where our last check could not confirm the schedule, we quote against the official terms in force at the moment of engagement instead of printing a number that may be stale.

Can the property also generate income?

In Türkiye and Grenada, yes, subject to the programme's restrictions during the holding period. We model rental assumptions separately from the immigration decision, and never use them to justify a weak asset.

How long must the asset be held?

Three years in Türkiye and five years in Grenada under the current rules; UAE residence depends on continuing to hold the qualifying asset. Holding periods are confirmed in writing at engagement.

Who is included in the application?

Family scope differs by programme, from spouse and minor children in Türkiye to a wider dependent scope in Grenada. Eligibility of each dependant is confirmed before filing.

What does CROWNHAVEN charge?

An advisory fee agreed in advance, disclosed alongside government, due diligence and legal costs in the cost model. We do not present programme fees as our own.
