One of the biggest advantages of citizenship and residence by investment programs is that you can include your whole family in a single application. In this guide we explain how a spouse, children and parents are covered, the most family-friendly programs and the additional costs.
Who Can Be Included?
- Spouse: included in almost every program.
- Children: usually under 18; many programs also cover students or dependent children up to 25-30.
- Parents and grandparents: in programs such as Grenada and St. Kitts, dependent parents and grandparents can be added.
The Most Family-Friendly Programs
| Program | Family advantage |
|---|---|
| Antigua and Barbuda | Single donation price for a family of four |
| Grenada | Extended family: parents and grandparents included |
| St. Kitts and Nevis | Flexible cover for dependants |
| Turkey | Spouse and children under 18 in one application |
Additional Costs
Each additional family member usually incurs an extra donation, investment share or government / due-diligence fee. It is important to calculate the total by family size in advance; see our cost guide for details.
Education for Children and a Work Permit for Your Spouse
A second citizenship or residence can give your children international education and, in some countries, access to EU universities, and give your spouse the right to work. We assess your family's goals together.
