    Henley & Partners, a firm that specializes in repatriation, maintains that investing large sums of money constitutes an “extraordinary service.” And Christian Kalin, a partner at the firm, said during a November conference in London that his clients have successfully obtained Austrian passports in this manner. In Henley’s brochure, Henley says Austria extends citizenship for those who invest at least $10 million.

    Alice Irvin, a spokeswoman at the Austrian embassy in Washington, D.C., strongly rejects suggestions that the country’s citizenship is for sale. “We are aware that these claims have been around for a while, but they are baseless,” she wrote in an email. Henley’s CEO, Eric Major, says otherwise.

    “Economic citizenship programs give you the opportunity to legally acquire a new nationality quickly and simply, without major disruptions to your life.
    While there are many “instant citizenship” schemes promoted on the Internet and elsewhere, currently only five countries offer legal and clearly defined citizenship for investment programs on a statutory basis, commonly known as economic citizenship programs. These countries are Belize, the Commonwealth of Dominica, Grenada, St. Christopher and Nevis, and St. Vincent and the Grenadines. In Austria it is also possible to legally acquire citizenship without prior residence, but costs are very high.”

    “The move has also received criticism as it follows years of Malta’s poor treatment of African migrants who fled to the island, juxtaposing it with the country’s now open arm policy for the rich.”
