Methodology & principles
Atlas Advisory is a commission-free citizenship & residency information service. We help people add a second citizenship or residency — not renounce or flee.
For each of ~200 countries we evaluate descent, marriage, preferential naturalization, investment and residence pathways against your profile using transparent rules — no opaque AI scoring.
Each pathway links to a primary source with a last-verified date. Claims older than 12 months are flagged as verification pending.
We accept no payments from any government, developer, fund, law firm, or agent. Descent routes and ‘stay where you are’ answers pay commissioned agents nothing — they pay us the same as anything else: nothing.
Programs change fast. We flag stale data honestly rather than presenting it as current.
How the accessibility score works
Matched pathways are ranked by a weighted blend of estimated timeline, cost, physical-presence requirements, and documentation difficulty. Pathways matched to who you are (descent, marriage, preferential naturalization) are shown before options open to any applicant (investment, residence).
