How we work
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.
We help maintain second passports or residence permits
For example, after getting a Maltese residence permit, we make sure that our clients remain in compliance with the requirements of the law for the following 5 years. We help our clients renew their second passport, replace a lost passport, or extend their residence permit.

Zoe
became a Grenada citizen by investment
You had the most competent and customer-oriented approach among the three companies that I approached. That’s why I chose to get my second passport through you.
Narong
got a Greek residence permit by investment
We were in discussion with Immigrant Invest for several months before signing the contract. Zlata was very attentive and patient with us. She did not put any pressure on us to sign the contract quickly.
Before signing, Zlata provided us with all of Immigrant Invest's relevant certificates to be confident that the company was reliable and its staff were well-qualified and competent.
Thony
got a St. Kitts and Nevis passport
I received my St. Kitts and Nevis passport 9 months after my first consultation with Immigrant Invest. This was especially impressive considering that my application was made at the height of the Covid-19 pandemic and the resultant travel restrictions.
I came to Immigrant Invest's office just three times: for a consultation, to sign my contract, to submit the application and the required documents, and to collect my new passport.
Emma

I do not often meet people with such high responsibility and professionalism as your staff and managers.

After signing the contract, we were introduced to the lawyer responsible for our application. As soon as we met her, we felt her confidence, professionalism, and respect for us. As a result of our mutual understanding, we were able to work quickly and effectively. We managed to gather all the necessary documents within a week, and the following week our application was approved.
Thony
got a St. Kitts and Nevis passport

I came to Immigrant Invest's office just three times: for a consultation, to sign my contract, to submit the application and the required documents, and to collect my new passport.
The most challenging stage - gathering all the required documents - took two weeks. After that, my role was reduced to simply making the investment and waiting for my passport.
Immigrant Invest took over the rest of the tasks. It carried out its own preliminary Due Diligence check, specified which documents were required, kept me informed about the results of each stage, sent me reports and invoices, and answered all my questions.
Thanks to Immigrant Invest, I now have my St. Kitts and Nevis passport and naturalisation certificate.
Emma
