Citizenship by Investment in Bahrain

Post new topic

Hi

Is it possible to obtain Bahrain Citizenship by Investment in Real Estate Sector. What is the amount of BHD investment to be done and how long does it take to process the citizenship. I am currently leaving and working in Kuwait, can i still take this citizenship plan.

Thank you in advance.

I think you are confused about the scheme.  There is NO way to get Bahrain citizenship by investment so forget about that.

The only thing you can get is a long term residence visa through investment - up to 10 years. 

And I have clearly explained the mechanics of that here:

Use the search button in the future.

Thank you for your post.

Can you please post me, on what basis or what are the options to get the Citizenship for a Muslim who is not staying in Bahrain.

Regards

Simple answer : No chance at all.

Long answer: As a non Arab, you have to live in Bahrain for 15-20 years, know Arabic and then you become eligible to apply but there is no guarantee you will get it. There are people who are waiting for decades after applying without any luck despite having millions in property and businesses.  Even expats who get married to Bahrainis don't get it (Men almost never, women after 15 years or so).

I don't know who told you that there is a chance. But as I said, forget about it.

Thank you
