Summary

TLDRThis video discusses two new citizenship by investment (CBI) programs: one in the Solomon Islands and another proposed by a Ghanaian presidential candidate. The Solomon Islands' program offers visa-free travel to over 100 countries, including Canada and the Schengen Area, with a focus on stringent due diligence. Ghana's proposed program targets people of African ancestry, offering citizenship for a $50,000 investment. Both programs could be cost-effective options for those seeking a second passport, with potential benefits for travel and investment in Africa.

Takeaways

  • 🌍 Two new citizenship by investment (CBI) programs are being proposed, potentially offering some of the most affordable options in the market.
  • 🏝️ The Solomon Islands is considering launching a CBI program, which would be one of the first new programs in recent times.
  • 📈 The Solomon Islands' CBI program could offer visa-free travel to over 100 countries, including the Schengen area, UK, and Ireland, but its strength in South America is relatively weak.
  • ⚠️ The visa-free access to Canada for the Solomon Islands might not last long due to previous instances of such access being revoked for other countries.
  • 💼 The Caribbean countries have recently increased the price of their CBI programs, which might influence the pricing strategy of the Solomon Islands.
  • 💼 The second proposed CBI program is by a presidential candidate in Ghana, aiming to attract people of African ancestry with a $50,000 investment for citizenship.
  • 🗺️ Ghana's CBI program, if implemented, could offer visa-free travel within Africa, aligning with the African Union's efforts to create a more unified continent.
  • 💼 The Ghanaian CBI proposal is speculative and might not materialize, but it highlights the potential for Africa to become an emerging market hub.
  • 📉 The value of CBI programs tends to decrease over time as they become more expensive and stringent, making early adoption potentially more beneficial.
