How we work
1
We define goals for you
Our lawyers study and clarify your goals in order to find the best option for each client. For example, for those wanting to live in the EU or Schengen states, only the Maltese citizenship program is suitable, whereas for those wishing to travel freely in the EU, we recommend a Portuguese, Greek or Maltese residence permit or permanent residence in Malta, as well as other options.

We find the best solution
Depending on our clients’ goals, we select an investment program in the European Union or the Caribbean. We often find that people contact us with the intention of obtaining a second passport in a particular country, but after discussing and analyzing their situation with our lawyers, end up choosing to apply for citizenship in a different country, which is better suited to their requirements.

We closely follow the entire process
After the initial consultation, we support and assist our clients throughout the citizenship or residency process rather just at the stage of filing and registering the application. Even after the second passport or residence permit has been issued, we remain in touch with our clients until their initial investment is returned to them. We also assist our clients find a property, obtain a tax number and resolve other issues if they decide to move and live in the country of their new residence.

Why our clients choose us
We reduce the risk of an application being rejected to 1%
Our internal compliance department conducts a comprehensive preliminary Due Diligence check on each applicant before they sign an agreement with us and before we start collecting the documents required for them to participate in the program.
We create and execute a clear plan
We create a plan of action step-by-step for each client: this includes a description of the required package of documents and the actions required after obtaining a passport or residence permit. There are no surprises or hidden fees.
Confidentiality
Our clients’ interests and peace of mind are our top priority. The non-disclosure clause regarding their personal data and investment sources in their agreement with us underlines the importance we attach to confidentiality in our relationship with our clients.
Reliability and dependability
We have been checked and accredited by the relevant government departments in the European Union and the Caribbean. This is confirmed by our licenses. Citizenship and residence by investment can only be obtained through a licensed agent. This is a legal requirement in the countries concerned.
Vladlena Baranova,
Head of Legal & AML Compliance Department, CAMS, IMCM
Due Diligence is a key stage of every citizenship or permanent residence by investment program. We are one of the few companies in the industry with an own Compliance Department.
Our activity as a government-recognized agent of citizenship and permanent residence by investment programs fully complies with the requirements of the European Union’s 6th Anti-Money Laundering Directive on combating the legalization of criminally obtained proceeds.
We conduct a detailed Due Diligence check on each of our clients before we submit their application to the relevant government department. This reduces the risk of their application being rejected to 1%.
Team
Our team consists of 40 people, who are united by one aim: to find the best possible solution for the client, based on their situation and goals.
Our lawyers are members of the IMC, the worldwide association for immigration and citizenship by investment. We also employ certified AML officers.
