Savory and Partners: Remote Application Process for Citizenship by Investment, a Popular Choice

DUBAI, UAE, June 24, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — When the world moved to a new dimension of remote working, various industries adopted their way of life to align with the technology-based, remote working environment. Governments too, redesigned their methods of operation to accommodate the new age of globalisation, and investment migration is no exception to this rule.
The thought of obtaining a second citizenship through a remote application may have seemed outlandish a decade ago, but it is a very real and feasible process today. Various countries throughout the world offer remote routes to obtaining a status within the country without the need of physically being there, and this evolution has been expedited by the pandemic.
What is a Remote Application Process (RAP)
The remote application process for citizenship and residency and other immigration-related matters is a new development to reduce the need for in-person interactions. The process involves the use of technology such as online forms or video conferencing to allow applicants to complete the necessary paperwork and communicate with government officials.
How it Works
The remote application process for citizenship and residency typically involves the following steps:
- Online Application: Applicants begin the process by completing an online application form and submitting it electronically.
- Document Submission: Applicants are then required to submit supporting documents, such as birth certificates, passports, and criminal records, electronically as well.
- Background Check: Governments conduct background checks on applicants to ensure that they meet the criteria for citizenship or residency.
- Interview: In some cases, governments may conduct an interview with the applicant via video or phone to gather additional information or verify their identity.
- Final Approval: Once the application process is complete, the government will either approve or deny the applicant’s request for citizenship or residency.
Before the pandemic
An important thing to note is that various countries had remote Citizenship by Investment processes in place before the pandemic made it a necessity.
The Caribbean Five, a coalition of citizenship by investment (CBI) programs in the Caribbean sea consisting of Antigua & Barbuda, Dominica, Grenada, St. Kitts & Nevis, and St. Lucia, already allowed applicants to submit their applications remotely.
An applicant could receive their new citizenship certificates and passports while never leaving their home country through a licensed international agent.
When St. Kitts & Nevis and Dominica first launched their CBI programs back in 1984 and 1993, respectively, the application process and delivery of the passports were conducted through the mail. Now software systems are set in place, while physical documents remain delivered by courier.
Programs, such as Malta’s CBI programs, or Greece’s RBI program, required applicants to personally submit their applications within the country itself, meaning travel was required.
During the pandemic
As COVID brought everything to a screeching halt, governments scrambled to reorganise their processes in order to adapt to the new landscape.
The Caribbean five, already masters in remote processing, had little to do as they continued processing files remotely. Nevertheless, they did innovate to make things easier. St. Lucia, for example, launched an online payment portal to ensure applicants who could not reach banks during the pandemic had a secure way of transferring their funds.
Antigua & Barbuda, the only country that required successful candidates to visit the nation for five days within the five years after obtaining citizenship, suspended that requirement, making it much simpler for those wanting to maintain their citizenship but unable to travel.
After the pandemic
As things cooled down and travel corridors reopened, most investment migration programs decided to maintain their remote application processes to make it easier for applicants who did not have the time, ability, or will to travel to submit their applications.
While there remains a large set of moving parts in the process of investment migration (consultancy firms, government agents, banks, due diligence agencies, etc.), the entire process has become more streamlined than ever, making it simple for anyone to obtain their second passport from the comfort of their own home.

Blocks & Headlines: Today in Blockchain – May 21, 2025

In an era defined by rapid innovation and regulatory shifts, today’s blockchain briefing spotlights five pivotal developments: enterprise-grade data integration, municipal crypto pilots, state-level policy hearings, AI-powered token growth, and secure communications on a public ledger. Across these stories, three key trends emerge:
-
Enterprise Adoption & Data Integration
-
Government Experimentation & Oversight
-
AI & Security Innovations in Crypto
Below, we dissect each story’s essence, unpack its broader implications, and offer opinion-driven insight for Web3 stakeholders.
1. Space and Time Joins Forces with Microsoft Fabric
Source: Chainwire / The Defiant
On May 20, 2025, Space and Time Labs (SXT)—a zero-knowledge data platform backed by Microsoft’s M12 Ventures—announced integration of its multichain index (Bitcoin, Sui, Ethereum) into Microsoft Fabric’s OneLake environment. This partnership delivers real-time, verifiable blockchain data directly within Azure, enabling developers and enterprises to build data-driven Web3 and AI applications without custom pipelines.
Opinion: Embedding verifiable on-chain data into mainstream analytics tools marks a watershed moment. As traditional enterprises crave decentralized insights, Fabric’s native access to SXT’s ZK-proven data could accelerate blockchain analytics, foster hybrid cloud-Web3 solutions, and reduce vendor lock-in. Expect more legacy tech giants to pursue similar alliances.
2. New York City Eyes Crypto for Taxes & Records
Source: DL News
Mayor Eric Adams revealed plans to form a Digital Assets Advisory Council to explore crypto-based payments for municipal services, including taxes, birth/death certificates, and land records. While specifics remain under wraps, Adams highlighted zero-knowledge proofs as a privacy-preserving tool for public documentation on distributed ledgers.
Opinion: New York’s initiative signals growing municipal appetite for blockchain beyond investments. By potentially accepting tax payments in crypto and securing vital records on-chain, NYC could pioneer use cases that blend transparency with privacy. However, pilot programs must rigorously address volatility, regulatory compliance, and digital inclusion to avoid disenfranchising underserved communities.
3. Wyoming Committee Explores Blockchain, AI & Right-to-Repair
Source: Wyoming Public Media
During its first interim meeting (May 14–15, Jackson Hole), Wyoming’s Select Committee on Blockchain, Financial Technology and Digital Innovation reviewed the state’s proposed Wyoming Stable Token—tethered 1:1 to USD—and examined AI governance and right-to-repair legislation. The Stable Token Commission anticipates a July 4 alpha launch, while lawmakers debated CBDC distinctions, tokenized real-world assets, and consumer repair rights.
Opinion: Wyoming continues to cement its reputation as a blockchain haven. Explicit carve-outs distinguishing stablecoins from CBDCs, coupled with regulatory sandboxes for AI and repair laws, underscore a holistic approach to innovation. Other states should monitor Wyoming’s alpha testing outcomes to inform balanced policy frameworks that nurture Web3 while safeguarding consumer interests.
4. AI Tokens Surge in Crypto’s New Tango
Source: The Economic Times
Himanshi Lohchab reports that AI-centric utility tokens—built to autonomously execute services like compute renting (Render), predictive analytics (SingularityNET), and data marketplaces (Ocean Protocol)—have seen market caps soar from $2.7 billion to nearly $30 billion within a year. Key players include Near Protocol’s AI modules, ICP, The Graph, and emerging AI agents that generate revenue per usage. Institutional interest from Grayscale, BlackRock, and Fidelity further validates the trend.
Opinion: The AI-blockchain convergence is no fleeting fad. AI tokens promise programmable revenue streams and decentralized toolchains, but they also introduce autonomous risk vectors—buggy smart contracts, accountability gaps, and regulatory ambiguity. Security audits, standardized interoperability protocols, and clear legal frameworks will be crucial to sustain investor confidence.
5. BSV Association Selects Binarii Labs for Secure Communications
Source: CoinGeek (via PRNewswire)
The BSV Association has designated Binarii Labs to implement BinariiDSM, an encrypted file exchange and messaging suite that logs proofs of record on the BSV blockchain. This integration ensures immutable audit trails, data resilience, and end-to-end confidentiality for enterprises seeking verifiable trust without centralized intermediaries.
Opinion: As data privacy regulations tighten globally, blockchain-anchored communication platforms like BinariiDSM offer a compelling alternative to legacy VPNs and secure email. By immutably recording metadata on-chain, organizations can demonstrate compliance, simplify audits, and deter insider threats. Look for BSV’s secure-messaging model to inspire similar offerings on other smart-contract platforms.
Conclusion: Navigating a Dynamic Blockchain Frontier
Today’s stories reaffirm that blockchain is no longer an experimental niche—it’s permeating analytics, public services, legislative agendas, tokenomics, and secure communications. To thrive:
-
Forge Strategic Alliances: Enterprises should partner with ZK and data-fabric innovators to embed blockchain insights into their analytics stacks.
-
Pilot Pragmatically: Municipalities must balance visionary crypto use cases with compliance, volatility management, and equitable access.
-
Craft Balanced Policy: States can emulate Wyoming’s sandbox approach—distinguishing stablecoins from CBDCs, while addressing AI and repair rights.
-
Secure the Autonomous Agent Era: As AI tokens multiply, enforce rigorous security audits and interoperability standards.
-
Leverage On-Chain Trust: Consider blockchain-anchored communications for immutable audit trails and enhanced data resilience.
By embracing these actions, organizations and policymakers can harness blockchain’s transformative power while mitigating emerging risks.
