Montenegro Citizenship by Investment Program
The Montenegro Citizenship-by-Investment Program was launched by the Government of Montenegro as part of its ongoing efforts to attract foreign direct investment and increase economic activity in the country. Situated at the sunny and tropical coast of Adriatic Sea, Montenegro is a European jewel that presents a great opportunity for those who would like to live or conduct business in the European Economic Area.
A vast range of real estate options, ranging from resorts and clubs in the south to luxurious cabins and establishments in the north are available for investment. With Montenegro expected to join the EU by 2025, there has never been a better time to apply for Montenegrin citizenship. Those who are interested should hurry up: Montenegro’s CBI scheme is going to accept applications up until 31st of December, 2021.

Your Spouse and Children Can Become Citizens with You
If you decide to become a Grenadan citizen, you don’t need to submit separate applications with separate payments for your spouse and children. You can include any dependent within your family to your own application as long as they fit the criteria specified by the Grenadan government. Spouse, children under 30, unmarried siblings aged 18 and over, parents, and grandparents of any age of the main applicant and of the spouse can be included in your citizenship application. Your citizenship is also transferable to new spouses and future generations.
Montenegro is expected to become an EU Member State by 2025
If you choose to become a Montenegrin citizen today, you’ll automatically become an EU citizen when Montenegro becomes a full member in 2025; this will entail many benefits to Montenegrin citizens including the ability to live and work anywhere within Europe, along with other benefits. Montenegro already employs the Euro as its official currency, consequently having a more stable economy compared to its Balkan neighbours.
