How to Get Moldova Citizenship by Investment

Moldovan citizenship by investment started in 2018 as a "formal" CBI program.

In order to obtain this passport, you'll need to make a donation of €100.000 for a single person and you can become a Moldovan citizen in 4 or 5 months.

Even though Moldova is not considered as a dream destination, what you'll get with this passport is visa-free travel to Russia, possibility to live and do business in a country with a relatively low tax rate and with interesting wine culture, as well as the "luxury" of living in Europe.

Think it's important to know that they have closed this and at the time of your video the application process was actually suspended temporarily. Only 8 people actually got accepted and around 90-100 people applied for the programme across a range of countries.



Not sure if this means that a newer, more streamlined form of CBI will be considered in the future, or if it is entirely off the table - put would probably mention that this hasn't been in effect for several years now and the official opportunity closed in September 2020. Seems the government owes a fair bit of money for processed payments too.

Another awesome video Andrew, will you be attending FreedomX in Budapest in June?

I would much rather do one of the Caribbean CBI programs for $100k. St. Lucia, St. Kitts and Nevis (a little more than $100k) and Antigua and Barbuda are all "real" countries and don't have a wealth tax on real estate. If I want to go to Russia, I will get a visa instead of a $100k citizenship in Moldova. Furthermore, if push comes to shove, I would much rather live in one of the aforementioned Caribbean countries than Moldova. A residency with a real estate purchase in Montenegro allows one to experience low tax rates in a far nicer European country in my humble opinion. However, I appreciate the informative video as always, Mr. Henderson. Keep up the great work and great job with your excellent book.

Andrew: is scared of wealth tax
Swiss people: am i a joke to you?

[blacckarat]

Interesting option thats for sure.
The fact you carry the reputation as a Moldovan if you hold a passport was a good statement Andrew in consideration into how you plan on living/travelling with that passport.
As an Australian, Moldova, Montenegro and countries as such that have different visa free options and are on the fringe of the EU are more so interesting and appealing to me than the Carribean CIB's.

Can you please do a video on Bulgaria??

Your investment will not be used wisely by our government.

[rajafarazameer]

Such a great effort, you used to do for us. Thanks.

[danielluster]

Moldovan citizenship by investment sounds like an excellent idea, Andrew! B-)

[jankhan]

i have 100k euros but want to invest in real estate or business
not free money

[nayefkaddoura]

Hey I want to ask you if you got the chance between Moldova citizenship or Dominica Citizenship ? What do u prefer

[dionysuseleuthereus]

Isn't Moldova's wealth tax just a property tax, similar to what many local and state governments in other countries levy? I was under the impression that it only applied to buildings >120 sq meters.

[bertlemieux]

Seems more suited to Russians than Americans.

Why haven’t you ever mentioned Puerto Rico’s act 22 and 20 as a way to escape the IRS for capital gains? Although the presence test is rigorous, a nomad capitalist could still use it as long as the ratio of Puerto Rico days to US days is greater than 1 (so a significant amount of foreign travel would be possible). In addition, becoming Puerto Rican doesn’t involve the dreaded exit tax.

[ashishkify]

Too expensive for a country like Moldova

[Distrugatorul]

I'm from Moldova, and they are going to roll the real estate option of 250k later this year. As well about taxes - there is a very good tax program for the IT sector - 7% flat.If you know someone who considers the real estate option (when it's available) - let me know, might have some options

It's no more avaiable, is abolished

[vizeet]

I would not want to live in country which has wealth tax or inheritance tax.

[JoaoPaulo-eurz]

[mahlatseemilio]

Do I donate the money to local business and get an ownership of that business through shares or the other way around
