Many wealthy Indians are now buying second citizenship from other countries to secure global mobility, tax benefits, and a backup plan. This is called passport planning, and it’s becoming more popular due to travel restrictions, business flexibility, and future security.

The best part? You don’t need to move, speak a new language, or spend more than ₹1 crore. Several countries offer Citizenship by Investment (CBI) programs, where you donate or invest money and get a new passport in return.

Here are some top choices:

• Dominica, St. Lucia, Antigua & Barbuda: Citizenship for just ₹76 lakh.

• Vanuatu: Fastest approval-within 60 days.

• Grenada: Access to live and work in the US through a special visa.

• Turkey and North Macedonia: Real estate-based citizenship options.

These passports offer visa-free access to 100+ countries. However, India doesn’t allow dual citizenship, so you must give up your Indian passport.

Still, for many, this is worth it. It’s not just about travel-it's about freedom, safety, and future planning.
