Eleven programmes, one table. Below is every citizenship and residency-by-investment route Aftera works with in 2026 — with the entry price, timeline, visa-free reach and, crucially, whether it's open to citizens of Russia and Belarus.

* Programmes of Grenada, Antigua, Saint Kitts, Dominica and Saint Lucia do not accept citizens of Russia and Belarus. Available alternatives for those passports — Turkey, Vanuatu, Cyprus EU residency.

How to read this table
- Cheapest and fastest — Vanuatu ($130,000, 2–3 months). The trade-off is a narrower visa-free list than the Caribbean or Turkey.
- Strongest passport of the group — Turkey: a G20 economy and the only citizenship route here that also opens the US E-2 investor visa.
- Best value for a family — among the Caribbean, Antigua covers a family of four on one contribution (but is closed to RF/RB).
- Europe without moving — Greece (Schengen residency) and Cyprus (permanent EU residency for life). Cyprus is open to RF/RB; Greece's Golden Visa accepts citizens of Russia and Belarus only if they hold a second (non-sanctioned) passport.
The "from" price is not the total
On top of the qualifying contribution, budget for due-diligence and government fees, legal and processing costs, and additional amounts per family member. A realistic estimate for a family of four is materially higher than the headline figure — we prepare a full, itemised calculation before you decide.
