Citizenship by investment: official costs compared
YieldVisa compares official contribution and investment minimums for citizenship-by-investment (CBI) programs, with dated government sources. CBI is an investment or donation route to a passport, not an income-based residency visa. Preferred-stock dividends and rentista income floors are a different product — see which visas accept dividends, rentista visas compared, and the calculator.

CBI is not a rentista visa
If you need ongoing passive income for residency instead of a passport via contribution, use the income calculator and the rentista comparison.
