Investment (CBI) programme<\/strong><\/a>, affords them the ease of global travel.<\/p>\n<p>In countries like South Africa where political unrest, violence and turmoil can make living conditions unfavourable, family safety is a legitimate concern for investors.<\/p>\n<p>Many families are looking at safer environments in which to raise their families and seek better education opportunities, securing a future for generations to come.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\">Protecting wealth<\/h3>\n<p>Similarly, wealth protection also plays a significant role, with investors looking to diversify their wealth, and Citizenship by Investment facilitates just this.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, the poor economic outlook, waning investment climate and concerns about property ownership are all reasons why affluent South Africans are looking for a second passport as a matter of urgency.<\/p>\n<p>While many do not want to leave their beloved country, they do want the security of a second passport in the case of increased political volatility.<\/p>\n<p>And while the UK, Australia and USA are usually top options for emigration, these have among the highest property prices in the world and many other draw-backs for South Africans.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\">St Kitts and Nevis<\/h3>\n<p>Due to a range of factors, many South Africans are looking to Caribbean countries like St Kitts and Nevis, to
