Frequently Asked Questions

Can residents of Hangzhou hold dual citizenship?

Most investment-migration programs permit dual citizenship. Whether China itself recognises it depends on local law, which our advisors review during your consultation before you commit to any route.

What is the fastest second passport for a Hangzhou investor?

Caribbean citizenship-by-investment programs (St Kitts & Nevis, Dominica, Grenada, Antigua & Barbuda, St Lucia) typically deliver a passport in 4–8 months, making them the quickest route for time-sensitive applicants.

Do I need to leave Hangzhou to qualify?

Many golden-visa and Caribbean programs require little or no physical residence, so you can retain your life in Hangzhou while holding a second status. Naturalisation-by-residence routes have stricter stay requirements.

How much do I need to invest?

Entry points range from roughly US$200,000 for a Caribbean donation to €250,000–€500,000 for European golden visas, plus government, due-diligence and professional fees. We provide a full all-in cost breakdown per program.
