Residency rights usually mean the right to live and work in a particular country. Citizenship usually includes all rights that an ordinary citizen of the particular country enjoys, such as right to vote, right to hold government office, government jobs, and other benefits (such as healthcare, subsidies and so on). Before you choose a particular investment immigration program, it is important to understand the benefits that you and your family can enjoy as a resident or as a citizen of the destination country.

Most of the countries that offer citizenship by investment permit dual citizenship, that is, one does not have to surrender present citizenship in order to become citizen of the destination country. However, some countries, like India, do not permit dual citizenship.

An OCI is a type of a residence permit that allows people of Indian origin to live and work in India.
