To benefit from the quickest and most assured path to European citizenship, applicants need to invest €2.15 million in real estate in Cyprus.

Malta
Malta’s Citizenship by Investment Program is a scheme aimed mainly at high net worth individuals. Also known as Malta Individual Investor Programme (MIIP), the program requires a minimum contribution of €750,000 to the national development fund set up by the government.

It takes around three months after the application to get the passport.

Through its changes, Dominica citizenship by investment program became not only the cheapest but also one of the most flexible options. Holders of Dominican passport can travel freely to around 140 countries, including the UK and Schengen zone.
Turkey

The process of Turkish citizenship by investment usually takes around 3 to 6 months.
United States
Through investment government-approved projects across the United States of America, investors can get the EB-5 visa. This visa gives permanent U.S. residency. It also provides the holder with the right to education, live, work, study, and retirement in the USA. It also enables receiving the investment back upon the completion of the project. The US government requires the main applicant to reside in the USA for at least half of each year.
The US passport has a minimum investment threshold of $900.000. As being one of the programs which have a rather long processing period, it takes around 20 to 26 months until getting the residency.
Vanuatu
With close proximity to Australia and New Zealand, the islands of Vanuatu offers visa-free travel passports to investors in as little as 2-3 months (and yes, it grants access to New Zealand itself).
The small Oceanic nation is filled with private beaches across its 80 islands, and the only requirement for citizenship is a one-time contribution to the Vanuatuan Development Support Program. Then, simply swear your oath of allegiance to your new home, and you and your family will be on your way to dual-citizenship in one of the most beautiful destinations in the Pacific.
