Basics Of The Nicaragua Reforestation Residency Visa<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The best and most efficient second residency in 2018 is the Nicaragua reforestation residency visa. It\u2019s the fastest path to citizenship, get\u2019s you permanent residency immediately (no waiting around for years on a temporary visa), and is one of the lowest cost programs available. Here\u2019s how to qualify for the Nicaragua reforestation residency visa.<\/strong> <\/span><\/p>\n

First, I should point out that the<\/span> Nicaragua reforestation residency visa program is open to every<\/b>on<\/strong>e<\/strong>. This includes citizens of the United States, European Union, United Kingdom, China, India, etc. Anyone can apply for residency and citizenship from Nicaragua. <\/span><\/p>\n

This compares favorably to other counties. For example, Panama\u2019s friendly nations visa program is only open to those from the <\/span>top 50 countries<\/span><\/a>.<\/a> While US and UK citizens can get in, those from China and India are locked out. <\/span><\/p>\n

So long as you can pass the background check, and prove you have no criminal history, Nicaragua will open its doors to you. <\/span><\/p>\n

Second, the minimum investment is low compared to other comparable second residency and second passport programs. You can apply for residency with an investment of $35,000 into Nicaragua\u2019s reforestation program. <\/span><\/p>\n

And this is an investment, not a cost. You\u2019ll receive a plot of teak trees, title to the land, and a nice return on your investment. <\/span><\/p>\n

Fees for legal and government filing are additional. For US, EU and UK citizens, they run about $850 per person. Those from other countries might pay more for your background check and for an entry visa. Therefore, <\/span>fees can vary depending on your current passport<\/span><\/i>. <\/span><\/p>\n

And the Nicaragua reforestation visa is fast. You\u2019ll get your <\/span>permanent <\/span><\/i>residency about 90 days after submitting a complete application. <\/span><\/p>\n

What\u2019s important here is that you get permanent residency from day one. No waiting around and refiling every year to maintain temporary residency. You become a permanent part of Nicaragua the day you file.<\/span><\/p>\n

This means your residency can\u2019t be taken away from you for any reason. If you have issues in your country of citizenship, or <\/span>your passport is revoked by the IRS<\/span><\/a>, you still have a home in Nicaragua. You have a permanent escape hatch no matter what happens in your home country. <\/span><\/p>\n

Residency in Nicaragua is fast\u2026 so is citizenship and a second passport. You can apply for your citizenship after being a resident for 2 years. With citizenship comes an excellent passport that gives you visa free access to 110 countries including the EU and the <\/span>Schengen region<\/span><\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n
