The Best R/CBI Programmes for Lebanese Citizens
esidency and Citizenship by Investment: Opportunities for Lebanese Citizens
The current political landscape in Lebanon has heightened interest among Lebanese citizens in residency-by-investment and citizenship-by-investment programs, which offer enhanced global mobility, financial security, and personal safety.
Despite the ongoing challenges, Latitude Group remains dedicated to delivering the attentive and personalized service Lebanon-based investors have come to expect.
Caribbean Citizenship-by-Investment Programs
Caribbean citizenship-by-investment programs are particularly favored by Lebanese citizens, providing an opportunity to obtain a passport from one of five Caribbean nations with investments starting at US$200,000.
These programs are attractive to Lebanese citizens because they offer increased travel opportunities at a relatively low cost. For example, Grenada’s Citizenship-by-Investment Program grants access to over 140 countries, including the UK and China, in exchange for a US$235,000 investment.
The Caribbean offers a stable political environment, allowing Lebanese families to secure financial stability and gain a safe alternative residence if needed. The following Caribbean countries currently offer citizenship-by-investment programs:
St. Kitts and Nevis
St. Lucia
Grenada
Antigua and Barbuda
Dominica
Key benefits of these programs include:
A thriving tourism industry
Peaceful, secure environments for a second home
Affordable real estate investment opportunities
To acquire Caribbean citizenship, Lebanese citizens must:
Invest a minimum of US$200,000
Be of good character
Maintain a clean criminal record
