Citizenship by investment

What is citizenship by investment?

Citizenship by investment is a legal route to a second citizenship after due diligence, not a passport you can buy. At 09 Life Residences, the 16 homes left on the passport bundle may let you apply for Vanuatu or São Tomé & Príncipe. Cash starts at AED 1,276,959. Approval is never guaranteed, and this is not a UAE passport.

Last reviewed 7 November 2026. Rules change.

Looking for a property with a passport?

If you need a property and a second passport, this is one Dubai home with a Vanuatu or São Tomé & Príncipe file. It is not a UAE passport, and it is not a passport for sale. Sixteen apartments are left. Cash starts at AED 1,276,959. You can enquire from any country. We still check your nationality before a file is sent.

Citizenship by investment or a golden visa?

A second passport and a golden visa are not the same. Citizenship can mean a new nationality. The UAE Golden Visa is residency. This table is the offer on this page, not a ranking of every programme in the world.

Which nationalities can apply?

People from Russia, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, and Belarus ask this often — and so do buyers from Pakistan, Iran, Bangladesh, and Afghanistan. Some programmes accept them. Some add checks or refuse. We only speak for Vanuatu and São Tomé & Príncipe, and only after we read the file.

Can a Russian get a second passport by investing?

Russian citizens ask this often, and so do buyers from Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Belarus, and other countries where a second passport is a practical question. This offer is Vanuatu or São Tomé & Príncipe, with one of the 16 homes left on the passport bundle. Due diligence and sanctions screening still apply. Approval is not guaranteed, and whether you may keep your current passport is decided at home, not here.

Can a Pakistani get a second passport by investing?

A Pakistani citizen can ask us to review a Vanuatu or São Tomé & Príncipe file alongside a qualifying home. Acceptance is not automatic, and some programmes add due diligence by nationality. Whether you may keep a Pakistani passport is decided by Pakistani law, not by this page. We check the file before anyone applies.

Which country gives citizenship to Iranians by investment?

Not every programme accepts Iranian nationals, and sanctions screening is strict. Recent adviser summaries list Iran among nationalities Vanuatu treats with extra restrictions, sometimes only after years lived outside Iran. São Tomé has received Iranian applications. We will not file a case we cannot support, and approval is never guaranteed.

What is a second passport option for Bangladeshi citizens?

Bangladeshi citizens can ask for a case review of Vanuatu or São Tomé & Príncipe with a qualifying Dubai home. We do not promise the lowest price in the world, and we do not decide Bangladesh dual-citizenship law. Each file is checked for source of funds and programme rules at the time you apply.

Can Afghans apply for citizenship by investment?

Some programmes restrict Afghan applicants or apply heavier due diligence. Adviser summaries have listed Afghanistan among Vanuatu’s restricted nationalities, with any exception decided case by case. We will say clearly if we cannot file. This page is not a promise that an application will be accepted.

FAQ

Honest answers.

No. The UAE does not grant citizenship through property. This offer is citizenship by investment for Vanuatu or São Tomé & Príncipe, tied to one of the 16 homes left on the passport bundle. Cash starts at AED 1,276,959. A UAE Golden Visa, usually from AED 2 million, is residency only — not a passport. The three-bedrooms on this list are in that range.

Vanuatu, or São Tomé & Príncipe. Vanuatu is often the faster file, commonly one to three months once documents are ready, with access to about 90 destinations. São Tomé often takes several months, with about 60 destinations on independent counts. Neither replaces a Schengen or UK visa-free passport. Final approval sits with the authorities.

Every home still released on the passport bundle. That is 11 one-bedrooms, one two-bedroom, and four three-bedrooms. Cash starts at AED 1,276,959 for unit 208. There is no studio on this list. Final approval still depends on the programme, due diligence, and the authorities.

Two prices on every unit. The 60% down-payment plan and the 20+20+30 plan are the same figure. Cash is 8% less. The lowest cash price is AED 1,276,959. We’ll send the schedule for the unit you want.

Yes — fully furnished, with kitchens, appliances, and a smart-home system. Ready to live in or to rent out.

Usually yes: a spouse, children, and dependent parents, depending on the rules at the time you apply. Tell us who’s coming with you and we’ll check.

Q3 2027. It’s a 12-storey building of 127 homes in Dubai Land Residence Complex, designed with Mimar.

Yes, when it is a real government programme and you pass due diligence. It is not a document you can buy. Vanuatu and São Tomé & Príncipe publish citizenship-by-investment routes. This page explains one property offer. It is not legal advice, and approval is never guaranteed.

For this offer, Vanuatu is often one to three months after a complete file. São Tomé & Príncipe is often several months. Collecting police certificates and source-of-funds papers can add time before the clock starts. A refusal is possible, and fees already paid to a programme may not come back.

They are different. Citizenship by investment can lead to a second passport. A UAE Golden Visa is residency in the UAE, not nationality. Passport-bundle homes here start at AED 1,276,959 cash. Golden Visa eligibility is typically from AED 2 million, which the three-bedrooms on this list meet. Many families want the home first, then choose.

AED 1,276,959 cash for unit 208, the lowest home left on the passport bundle. The same unit is AED 1,387,999 on the 60% down-payment plan or the 20+20+30 plan. These 16 homes are the only ones available on this offer. The property price alone is not a promise of citizenship.

Many do. Extra checks are common for some nationalities, including Iran and Afghanistan, and rules change. We also review Russian, Pakistani, and Bangladeshi passports before filing. If a programme will not take the file, we say so. We do not use “guaranteed” or “for sale”.

That depends on the law of the country that issued it. Russia, Kazakhstan, Pakistan, Iran, Bangladesh, and Afghanistan each treat a second citizenship differently. We cannot tell you that you may keep it. Ask a lawyer in your home country before you apply.

Nobody can sell you a passport. A real file names the country, the law, the due-diligence steps, and who approves it. We will not ask you to pay a stranger for a “fast passport”. Read the disclaimer, keep your own lawyer, and walk away from any guarantee of approval.

You can buy a home and then apply. At 09 Life Residences the passport bundle is a Dubai apartment plus a Vanuatu or São Tomé & Príncipe citizenship-by-investment file. The home is real. The passport is not included in the title deed, and approval is not guaranteed.

This is a Dubai property with a second-passport option, not a UAE passport. Sixteen homes are left. Cash starts at AED 1,276,959. The countries in the file are Vanuatu and São Tomé & Príncipe. You can live in the apartment, rent it, or both, subject to the building rules.

Unit 208, a one-bedroom. Cash is AED 1,276,959. The same home is AED 1,387,999 on the 60% down-payment plan and on the 20+20+30 plan. It is the lowest home left on the passport bundle.

Vanuatu and São Tomé & Príncipe typically have no stay rule on these programmes. You can keep living in Dubai or at home. Confirm the rule when your file is prepared, because programmes change.

The offer is an off-plan home at 09 Life Residences, handover Q3 2027, on the passport bundle price list. The property purchase and the citizenship file are separate steps. Authorities decide the file. The apartment price alone is not citizenship.

Indian citizens can ask us to review a Vanuatu or São Tomé file with one of these homes. India generally does not allow dual citizenship. We cannot tell you that you may keep an Indian passport. Ask an Indian lawyer before you apply. Approval is not guaranteed.

Nigerian citizens searching for a property and a second passport can ask about these 16 Dubai homes and a Vanuatu or São Tomé file. We check the passport and the source of funds first. This is not a promise that Nigeria, Vanuatu, or São Tomé will approve the case.

Chinese citizens often ask for a property plus a second passport. China does not recognise dual citizenship. A Vanuatu or São Tomé file, if it were approved, can conflict with Chinese nationality law. Talk to a Chinese lawyer before you reserve a home. We will not promise a result.

Yes. The home is in Dubai and the file is Vanuatu or São Tomé & Príncipe, wherever you live now. People write from Russia, Central Asia, South Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and Europe. Nationality rules can still refuse a file. Tell us your passport and we will say if we can review it.
