Comparison with IMI’s programme directory

The dated directory review reconciles public catalogue labels with government and institutional sources. Public profiles describe the facts supported by those sources; unsupported offers are withheld.

What was compared

All 329 visible public directory titles were classified and identity-matched. The 16 CBI index floors and presence fields were compared with CBI.me’s dated source audit; this is not a field-by-field audit of all 329 profiles.

The separate Citizenship Catalog requires IMI Pro or Sovereign membership; its 843 advertised citizenship pathways were not accessed.

IMI categoryDirectory entriesCBI.me coverage
Citizenship by Investment16Source-backed profiles; unsupported offers withheld
Residence by Investment9914 corresponding groups; 2 partial; 83 unprofiled

Barbados Welcome Stamp and Barbados Digital Nomad Visa point to the same detail URL; 329 is a directory-entry count, not a proven count of unique legal programmes. There are 328 distinct detail links. Country-directory entries and programme entries use different denominators.

Gaps corrected

Disagreements that matter

Nauru: the current official contribution is USD 90,000 until 31 December 2026, plus charges. That source takes precedence over different directory figures and the older offer deadline in IMI’s profile.

Jordan: existing businesses and new projects have different thresholds and qualifying histories. The selected JOD 500,000 new-project route leads first to a three-year temporary passport. It is not a universal immediate-citizenship minimum.

Malta merit: IMI’s historical narrative suggests a continuation for investors. The agency’s 2026 guidance says merit is not an investment programme or its continuation. CBI.me retains a discretionary classification and no purchase price.

Cambodia, Sierra Leone and Samoa: directory listings do not resolve the remaining tariff, authority or intake evidence gaps.

Antigua’s annualized display does not change the official obligation: five days in the first five years. Historical dates can describe legislation, operations or closure differently; the supporting basis stays visible in each profile.

Citizenship category reconciliation

Ten base amounts agree. Six entries require an addition or material qualification. Agreement on a base amount does not verify all fees, family eligibility or presence duties.

Publication scope

Only source-backed facts appear in public profiles. Current routes, official announcements, legislative background and historical records are distinct categories.
