More and more US citizens would like to invest in exchange for second citizenship and get a new passport fast, through transparent legal processes. Obtaining new citizenship can be done literally without travelling, but Cyprus and Malta oblige the applicant to spend time there as residents, according to the common political guidelines of the European Union.
So, where can you invest in exchange for citizenship fast?
The most obvious solutions, where a US citizen can obtain a second passport are the "Caribbean 5" (St Kitts and Nevis, Dominica, Antigua and Barbuda, Grenada, Saint Lucia) and Vanuatu. In these countries, you can become a citizen without even stepping on their soil. You have to collect the necessary documents, add an Apostille or other internationally accepted authentication stamps, invest and receive the certificate of citizenship and the travel documents.

If you wish to obtain a European passport, then Montenegro offers the fastest solution, it takes approximately three months to become a Montenegrin citizen.
