SIX DISCRETIONARY CBI ALTERNATIVES TO MALTA FOR 2025…
The recent ECJ ruling sounded the death knell for Malta’s investment based naturalization pathway – in it’s current appealing format, at least. (It also bodes very badly for the five Caribbean CBI Programs and Europe’s Golden Visas.)
Below, we cover six discretionary CBI alternatives to Malta worth considering in 2025…
Globally, Citizenship By Investment (CBI) options are under threat – with Malta’s program being the latest victim of supranational overreach.
The remaining CBI options are dwindling – and getting more expensive and restrictive – with every passing year. Even for second-tier CBI programs, like the ones in the Caribbean, prices have doubled. And despite this, their visa-free travel privileges remain under threat in 2025.
That’s why, for those seeking to renounce their native citizenship, obtaining an A-graded passport from a developed country makes far more sense than settling for a Caribbean passport.
But Brussels detests CBI programs, and is actively seeking to put a halt to European CBI by the end of 2025.
Yet, of course, given the government overreach, predatory taxation, and geopolitical instability we’ve seen around the world since 2020, the demand for alternative citizenship by investment is not going away. On the contrary…
Unsurprisingly, therefore, numerous discrete, off-market citizenship by investment opportunities are emerging – and demand for these alternative programs is growing with every passing day.
Here are six CBI alternatives to Malta’s program to consider in 2025…

What Are The CBI Alternatives
To Malta MEIN In 2025?…
EL SALVADOR
CITIZENSHIP BY INVESTMENT
PROGRAM
The so-called Freedom Passport Program requires a government donation of $1 million, or the Bitcoin equivalent. 4-6 week process.
The bearer of all of these countries’ passports enjoy visa-free access to the Schengen Area for 90 out of 180 days.
Why consider off-market Citizenship By Investment Programs?
With Malta’s current program going away… and given that the “Caribbean 5” CBI Programs may well lose their visa-free access to the Schengen Area in the near future, getting a Caribbean passport on the basis of investment is no longer a risk-free proposition.
Given this, countries offering discretionary citizenship on the basis of government donation or investment – but NOT formal Citizenship By Investment Programs, per se – start looking a lot more attractive…
Affluent individuals and families seeking a Plan B citizenship that will stand the test of time are increasingly drawn to discretionary citizenship options, seeing as:
- They don’t attract the same bad press as formal CBI Programs.
- They’re not subject to relentless scrutiny from Brussels.
- Unlike with countries like St Kitts, Nauru, or Vanuatu, their passports aren’t viewed as “CBI passports” in border control situations.
- And, consequently, the risk of losing their EU visa-free travel privileges is significantly reduced.
But the above factors generally speak to the drawbacks of conventional CBI Programs. Discover the benefits of discretionary citizenship by investment pathways below…
