Sovereign Man has partnered with selected Citizenship by Investment (CBI) programs in the Caribbean.
We picked them for a reason – we believe they deliver the best value to citizens of Western countries (our typical subscribers).
Also, each CBI country usually has multiple donation/investment choices, but in this calculator, we only included the options that we believe make the most sense.
In each country, we chose service providers with a stellar reputation and very competitive rates. That allows us to estimate your final all-in cost down to a dollar. No hidden fees or surprises.
And if you are a Total Access (TA) member, additional discounts mean you will pay less than literally anyone else in the world.
