Suriname mulls Citizenship by Investment programme

President of Suriname Chandrikapersad Santokhi

The government of Suriname says it is seriously looking to implement a Citizen-ship by Investment programme that grants citizenship to foreigners who want to invest in the country, according to the country’s president, Chandrikapersad Santokhi.

On Thursday, Santokhi, whose country, Guyana’s neighbour, is on the cusp of making its first major oil recovery, told the National Assembly in Paramaribo that the country could be on the verge of following the lead of other member countries of CARICOM that already offer Citizenship by Investment programmes.
