Abstract

The practice of selling passports through Citizenship by Investment (CBI) programmes is gaining more attraction and legitimacy in the light of increasingly stricter corporate and immigration compliance policies. The current due diligence performed to comply with these policies, it is argued, still allows for the potential risks of money laundering, tax evasion, and border security which can be facilitated through second citizenship. It is therefore suggested that AI processes be introduced to potentially transform risk management within the CBI programmes.
