5 Countries That Give Citizenship by Marriage in the World

2. Belize

Time Required: Minimum 1 Year

Considered one of the most beautiful tropical islands with a high quality of life, a great climate, friendly locals, English widely spoken, a foreign investor-friendly policy, low taxes, and a low cost of living (estimated monthly costs for a couple without rent are around $1,400), Belize is evolving into a haven for expats. Adding to its appeal, the country offers various pathways to acquiring citizenship, including through marriage. Belize provides one of the most expedient and straightforward citizenship processes in this regard. As long as one is married to a Belizean national for a minimum of only 1 year– whether the spouse is a born Belizean or acquired citizenship before marriage– one can qualify for citizenship through marriage.
