Citizenship
Citizenship by investment programs provide individuals and families with a direct pathway to acquiring an additional nationality through structured and government-approved frameworks.
These programs are typically used to enhance international mobility, access new jurisdictions, and support long-term personal and financial planning.
McKinsey provides advisory support in identifying suitable citizenship programs based on individual objectives, jurisdiction preferences, and investment considerations.
