How much does Anticitizen cost?
The membership fee, the third-party fees you'll pay on top, the real-world total cost of going through Anticitizen for a passport or residency, and the savings members actually report.
Anticitizen is sold as a monthly membership. Reviewers on this site commonly reference figures in the range of $33 / month for the standard tier. Higher tiers and one-off advisory engagements exist; for current published pricing always check anticitizen.com directly. Prices and tier names move from time to time.
What the membership covers
- Country-specific playbooks for UAE, Portugal, Panama, Italy, Poland, Ireland, Georgia, Singapore, Mexico, Paraguay, the Caribbean CBI nations and more — covering eligibility, document checklists, timelines, costs and post-arrival substance requirements.
- Named caseworker guidance through document collection, sworn translations, apostille routing, consulate appointments and bank onboarding.
- Weekly briefings on legal, tax and immigration changes — including changes to CRS reporting, freezone substance rules, EU citizenship-by-descent law and tax treaty updates.
- Members-only Q&A with team members and cross-jurisdictional specialists.
What it does not cover
The membership fee covers Anticitizen's own guidance and IP. It does not cover the third-party costs you will pay regardless of who guides you:
- Government application and visa fees.
- Sworn translations and apostilles (often $30–$150 per document).
- Real-estate purchases, donations or government bonds for citizenship-by-investment programmes (typically $100k–$250k+ depending on country and family size).
- Local immigration lawyers in jurisdictions that require them.
- Bank minimum deposits, especially in Singapore, Liechtenstein and parts of the UAE.
- Travel costs for consulate visits, biometric appointments and substance trips.
Realistic total cost by goal
To make the membership cost meaningful, here is a rough total-cost picture for the most common goals members on this site pursue. These are external estimates derived from member reviews, not official Anticitizen figures.
- Italian / Polish / Irish citizenship by descent: $2,000–$8,000 in translations, apostilles, certified record requests and consulate or court fees, spread over 18–36 months.
- Portugal D7 or Spain NLV residency: roughly $3,000–$10,000 in legal, NIE/NIF, proof-of-income paperwork and consulate fees, plus your rental or property commitment.
- UAE freezone + residency: roughly $6,000–$15,000 for freezone licence, visa, Emirates ID and medical, plus annual renewals.
- Caribbean CBI passport: $130,000–$250,000+ in government contribution or real estate, plus due diligence and agent fees. The Anticitizen membership saves you advisory dollars, not the donation itself.
- Panama Friendly Nations residency: roughly $5,000–$10,000 all-in including local lawyer, plus the qualifying economic tie.
Is it worth it?
Many reviewers report tax savings or successful citizenship outcomes that dwarf the membership cost. One Swedish member describes year-one tax savings of roughly $180,000 against a $33 monthly fee. An American consultant describes restructuring into a UAE freezone with a UK-Dubai split that legally cut their effective tax rate by over 25 points. A Brazilian-Italian descent claimant describes paying around $3,000 in document costs over two years for an EU passport that now lets her work and live anywhere in the Schengen area.
Your mileage will depend entirely on your starting situation — country of tax residence, income type, family structure, and how much time you can dedicate. But for almost any member earning meaningful income in a high-tax jurisdiction, the membership cost is a rounding error.
How it compares on price
Bespoke advisory firms in this space typically start at $15,000 and scale into the low six figures. Single-country immigration lawyers usually charge $3,000–$8,000 per engagement, per country. A newsletter-only service gives you news but does not walk you through execution. Anticitizen sits at the bottom of the price ladder while still offering named human guidance — which is the unusual part of its offer.
