About Us

7 reasons why clients choose us 

  • 1

    On the market since 2006

    For almost 20 years, we’ve helped clients confidently navigate citizenship and residence by investment — as well as residence options for financially independent individuals and digital nomads.

    From Due Diligence to investment options, we know the details that make the difference — and how to solve issues quickly and effectively.

    Only official options — no risky shortcuts

    We work exclusively with government-licensed citizenship and residence permit by investment programs in the EU, the Caribbean, and beyond — ensuring our clients access only trusted, legitimate, and secure options.

    In addition, we assist with non-investment residence permits available under the legal frameworks of various countries, providing more pathways to a second home or global mobility.

    Licensed agent

    We are officially licensed and accredited by the relevant government authorities in the EU and the Caribbean — a legal requirement for all citizenship and residence by investment programs. Our reliability ensures you work directly with a licensed partner — no intermediaries, just clear and trusted guidance.

    10,000+ passports delivered — and counting

    We’ve helped over 10,000 clients and their families secure second passports and residence permits. Investors from 100+ countries across five continents trust us to deliver freedom, security, and global opportunity — tailored to their unique goals.

    99% success rate

    Our in-house compliance team conducts a thorough preliminary Due Diligence check before any application begins. This proactive step protects you from potential risks, ensures eligibility, and helps avoid costly rejections.

    If any issues arise, we either recommend a better-suited program or advise against proceeding — always prioritising your best outcome.

    On the ground in 9 countries — with local expertise

    With offices in nine countries, we understand the legal nuances of each jurisdiction. Our clients benefit from the expertise of international lawyers, local legal professionals, and notaries who prepare every document with precision — anticipating challenges and ensuring a smooth process from start to finish.

How we work

  • 1

    We start with your goals

    Every journey begins with understanding what matters most to you. After a detailed consultation, we recommend the program that best fits your lifestyle, family priorities, and long-term plans.

    Many clients come to us with a specific country in mind, but after exploring their options, they often choose a solution better suited to their goals — whether it’s Maltese citizenship for EU residency or a residence permit in Portugal, Greece, Hungary, or Malta for greater mobility.

  • 2

    We turn your goals into the right action plan

    We create a personalised, step-by-step action plan for every client, outlining exactly which documents are needed and what to expect after obtaining a passport or residence permit.

    With full transparency and no hidden fees, you stay informed, in control, and confident throughout the process.

    Our support doesn’t stop at paperwork. Whether it’s finding a property, securing a tax number, or handling the practical details of relocation, we make the process seamless so you can focus on what matters most: enjoying your new opportunities.
