Alternatives options as a second citizenship for Yemenis

1. Second citizenship for Yemenis by real estate investment

A Yemeni can obtain citizenship by investing in real estate, as after investing in real estate worth $300,000 in Saint Lucia, the Yemeni will be entitled to possess a strong Saint Lucia passport, which qualifies him to enter more than 150 countries without a visa, including Britain. Canada and all Schengen countries. The beautiful thing about this matter is that the Yemeni will be able to recover the amounts he used to buy the property 5 years after reselling it. Thus, you will invest, own a property, and obtain a second passport.

2.  Second citizenship for Yemenis through financial aid

Some countries that have strong passports grant their citizenship after making a financial contribution to the governments of these countries. One of the most famous is that a Yemeni can obtain a second citizenship from Saint Kitts and Nevis after making a financial contribution of $250,000. Without residency in St. Kitts and after waiting for 6 months, you will be able to obtain the passport, which ranks 24th in the world.

3. Other investment methods for Yemeni families

There are specialized programs in the world available to Yemenis through which they can apply and obtain citizenship by investing reasonable amounts for families of 4 or more individuals. All individuals will have access to education, health, retirement and employment opportunities.

Not all programs consider as second citizenship for Yemenis

After Dominica canceled the decision to allow Yemenis to apply and obtain its citizenship, one of the other Caribbean countries had already done so, specifically Antigua and Barbuda, as it is not possible to apply for this citizenship except after applying very special conditions, including that the Yemeni investor must be a resident in another country in the last 10 years. Also, he must not own real estate or businesses in Yemen, and therefore Antigua and Barbuda cannot be considered an alternative to second citizenship for Yemenis.

Malta is located on the European side, and with its strong passport, it also has a Maltese citizenship by investment program, but currently Yemenis cannot apply for this program.

As for Vanuatu, which is located on the Australian side, it also prevents Yemenis from applying for its citizenship, although with a Vanuatu passport you cannot enter Britain and the Schengen countries without a visa.

Yemen is not the only country banned from applying for some citizenship programs around the world. There are many countries that are considered like Yemen, including countries the size of Russia and Belarus. From this we conclude that these countries do not have personal problems with Yemen. However, Yemen is considered one of the countries for which it is not recommended to offer passports from these countries at the present time.

Alternatives to second citizenship for Yemenis

After the decision to cancel the Dominica citizenship program for Yemenis, Yemenis are looking for new ways to invest and obtain a second citizenship alongside it. But the environment of the new country, the strength of the passport, job opportunities, and the possibility of including a family through simple investment paths are important points while searching for a country that provides second citizenship for Yemenis.

On the first side, the Caribbean countries, represented by Saint Lucia, Saint Kitts and Grenada, offer citizenship programs after investing in them and after applying some simple conditions, such as the absence of any suspicions about the applicants and their money.

The second citizenship for Yemenis from one of these countries gives them a strong passport through which the Yemeni can enter more than 150 countries without a visa, including Britain, China, Canada, and all Schengen countries, and with the possibility of obtaining an American work permit for a period of 10 years.

In addition to entering countries, the beautiful Caribbean countries have the best tax system in the world and accept the retention of Yemeni citizenship alongside their nationalities. It also requires reasonable investment amounts and a processing time not exceeding 6 months to obtain citizenship without residency. However, Yemenis still have to visit these countries once for the personal interview, which is an official interview and only for direct communication between the individuals applying and the citizenship unit.

Europe residency instead of second citizenship for Yemenis

On the other hand, European countries such as Portugal, Spain, and Greece have golden visa programs, through which a Yemeni has the right to reside in one of the European countries and then obtain guaranteed European citizenship in the future after investing in any real estate or non-real estate funds in the amount of 500 thousand euros.

These European countries will give the investor the possibility of permanent residency in Europe and the possibility of establishing a business and living in all European countries simultaneously. The beautiful thing is that Yemenis can benefit from the famous European health systems and study at one of the prestigious international universities.
