Grenada is located in the West Indies of America,Eastern CaribbeanThe southernmost point, the Atlantic Ocean to the east and Venezuela to the south, are stillCommonwealthCountry; Turkey is located at the border of Asia and Europe, a country that straddles Europe and Asia.
Both Turkey and Grenada have E2 visas and it is relatively easy to apply for immigration to the United States. Therefore, supporters have always recommended these two immigration programs. In addition, these two countries also have similarities. For example, the real estate investment in Grenada is 220,000 US dollars, and Turkey It is 250,000 US dollars; both have signed extradition regulations with China, and they can obtain citizenship immediately to obtain a passport. The difference is that real estate investment in Grenada is limited to projects pre-approved by the government, and Turkey can freely choose the investment target. In terms of currency, the East Caribbean dollar used by Grenada is a currency linked to the U.S. dollar, while Turkey has been falling against the U.S. dollar for a long time. Friends who consider these two countries can carefully compare and decide which one is suitable for your plan.

9. UAE
The UAE is currently one of the fastest-growing countries in the world. It has always been regarded as one of the richest places on the planet. The income of enterprises and citizens does not need to pay taxes. For foreigners, working in the UAE can be even better. High income. In recent years, the UAE government has considered opening up policies to allow more foreigners to settle and live, including offshore duty-free zones, opening up foreign ownership of full shares, and removing the restriction that unmarried men and women cannot live together. Now it is also launching the UAE Golden Visa for investment People can get five to ten years of long-term residency, and a one-year remote work visa has also been introduced, which is very exciting news for those who want to obtain a UAE passport.

Combination and Immigration Plan
In addition to the immigration plans for Montenegro, Ireland, Dominica, Greece, Grenada, Turkey, etc. shared above, I now recommend using a combined immigration plan within the same budget, combining two or three items to achieve the immigration goal. Each immigration plan has its own advantages, but there are also shortcomings. For example, Irish investment immigration is very good, but it will take five years to apply for naturalization. For some people, short-term risks may increase.GreeceThe cost is the lowest, but the passport cannot be obtained immediately, and it is not enough for those who need asset isolation. The Caribbean passport project is no way to allow children to study in Europe. However, if the Caribbean is added to the Greek financial independence (Such as Dominica + Greece), not only has better results, but also reduces the risk of immigration.
Who is the best immigration program for 2023?
The best immigration plan is always directly related to the applicant’s subjective preferences. Portugal, Spain, Saint Lucia’s bonds in Europe, Turkey’s bank deposits, and the UK also have very good immigration plans. Those with a soft spot can still be considered. But today’s international relations are unpredictable. Before making choices, we should focus on needs and goals. There are still epidemics,CRS friendly, Travel restrictions, and global taxation. If a single immigration project cannot meet demand in a short period of time, a combined strategy should be considered. Dividing the plan into two or three plans is one that can be done immediately.
