Kenyans need the freedom of travel and the solutions to live, work or study abroad. Now, they are getting to know the citizenship and residency by investment programmes. The holders of the Kenyan passport may enter visa-free only in 40 countries. They can also pick up visa on arrival in 32 jurisdictions. Kenyans speak English, so the most convenient solution for the wealthy businesspeople is to obtain the passport or residence permit of an English speaking country. Luckily, there are several countries, where Kenyans can invest in exchange for a passport or become a resident. There are the Caribbean countries, which have citizenship by investment programmes: St Kitts and Nevis, Antigua and Barbuda, Dominica, Grenada and Saint Lucia. If you would like to enjoy the quality of life, security, excellent health care and schools, then you can also opt to Malta or Cyprus. In Malta, the English is an official language after the Maltese. Not to mention that in Cyprus, almost everyone speaks English. Vanuatu in the South Pacific Ocean also wants investors and that passport allows you to visit 123 countries visa-free.

Perhaps, you don't even need dual citizenship but a good resident status

Residence permits are also very helpful to live, work and study in one chosen country. After you obtain the residence permit in an EU Member State, you can travel visa-free in the European Schengen zone. Among the English speaking countries, Australia, Malta, the USA, the UK, and New Zealand offers the best residency by investment solutions. Immigration to Canada is also possible through the country's several schemes. As Kenyan citizens do not qualify for the E-2 visa to the US, Discus Holdings Ltd offers the best solution: you can become a citizen of Grenada and apply fast for the US visa. The range of costs is wide regarding the residency by investment programmes. Perhaps, the most affordable is the Malta Global Residence Program, where you can pay an annual 15,000 euros flat-tax and must rent or purchase a residential real estate. Moreover, if you need a European passport, you can also invest in the citizenships of Moldova and Montenegro. This way you can live in Europe, and you will have access to the Schengen zone. There are also the Golden Visas of Greece, Spain and Portugal. These nations let you enjoy the European quality of life. Furthermore you will be free to visit the other countries of the Schengen area visa-free. Are you interested in obtaining a second citizenship or residence permit?
