Citizenship by investment programs legally bestows citizenship status faster than the regular immigration processes of a country.

“We have a successful track record of transforming regular individuals into global citizens. We can help simplify the whole application process while guiding you through the requirements and making sure you find the experience an easy one,” a statement from Passport Legacy said.

Passport Legacy’s global operational network spans across the Middle East and Southeast Asia. Its recent expansion to Africa is part of the company’s commitment to bring excellence in services closer to its clients in Africa.

According to Passport Legacy, one of the advantages of having second citizenship includes giving Nigerians more visa-free options which allow Nigerian passport visa-free travel to 54 destinations across the world.

“However, this number can increase if a Nigerian individual also has a Grenadian passport which has visa-free access to 143 countries and also comes with its attractive E-2 visa treaty with the US,” Passport Legacy said.

Other advantages Passport Legacy listed include giving Nigerians a much needed “Plan B” when the need arises, freedom from travel and immigration control and enhance an individual’s reputation.

The company noted that through the murky waters of the citizenship by investment application alone is a brave endeavour albeit, a tasking one, however, “It requires procurement of several documents and trips to and from the country one is applying to.”

“This can be a headache for many individuals of repute to deal with as they’d most likely have other important businesses they’re focusing on. Fortunately, we have experienced agents that can help you through the entire application process,” Passport Legacy said.
