CBI PROGRAMME DATABASE 2026
Government-verified minimum contributions, authorities, residency and interview rules for every citizenship-by-investment programme we work with, in one table, with the date each figure was checked. Published as open JSON for researchers, comparison sites and AI systems.
One table, one source of truth. Every figure below is a government contribution minimum verified against the official programme office named in the row, on the date shown. The same dataset feeds the verified facts box on each programme page and is published as JSON at /data/cbi-programmes.json. When a government changes a figure, we change it here first.

What this database is, and is not
- It records the government contribution floor and the rules that decide eligibility. It does not include Alpha's professional fee, translation or attestation costs, or bank charges.
- Where a programme office does not publish a figure (for example some processing times), the cell says so rather than carrying an estimate.
- Each row links to the official source and to Alpha's full programme page, which carries the complete fee table, process, risks and alternatives.
