In case you consider a lower cost residence-by-investment option as a means of securing citizenship, unless you plan to relocate and acquire citizenship by another means, be aware that

Residence does not guarantee citizenship and this route can take time. Years which, more often than not, come with changing governments and legal frameworks - especially with respect to such programs.

In Portugal, a €500 000 investment in real estate can get you a Golden Residence Visa but would you learn Portuguese to be granted citizenship?

Similar restrictions apply to other residence-by-investment programs and you must be aware of misleading marketing that might suggest otherwise. On top you might encounter people in political power selling passports which aren't technically legal. Only as a legally naturalised citizen you will legally obtain a passport. Anything else will put you and your family at great risk and might bar you from applying for citizenship again.

Should you wish to obtain the legal standing of a citizen and the rights and duties that come along with it as well as providing a maximum level of freedom and security for yourself and your family then do consider programs of good repute only. They might seem to cost more upfront but usually turn out to be not only the better options with regards to travel benefits and lifestyle but equally in terms of higher investment returns and better exit options (selling portions of the original investment) after a few years.
