Our protagonists
Vyacheslav and Yuliya are a couple from Moscow. They have two children. Their son Eugene is 19 and their daughter Ekaterina is 9. Vyacheslav owns a big business. However, he started to feel concerned about the safety of his assets more than a year ago.
Prior to contacting Immigrant Invest
Like most of his friends, Vyacheslav became increasingly worried about the situation in his country. He understood that the business climate is deteriorating, there was not enough room for development and the economic and financial forecasts did not promise positive changes. His main concerns were focused on changes in tax legislation that could cause him to lose a significant part of his earnings.
While Vyacheslav was not devoid of patriotic feelings and was pained to watch the economic situation in Russia, he understood that the transfer of assets and businesses abroad was inevitable. It was the only way to retain his favorite company in which he invested the best years of his life and plenty of funds.
Some of the family friends have already obtained second citizenship, while some relocated abroad for permanent residence. After discussing the problems with his family, he decided to follow suit and start looking for the safety net.
Meeting the clients
Our first remote touchpoint with Vyacheslav and Yuliya took place on Facebook. They got interested in our publications and have already heard about investor programs of Hungary, Malta and Cyprus from their friends. It was exactly those three options that they have been considering.
Once we booked our meeting, the following goals have been clarified:
possible safety net in case of deteriorating situation in the home country
change of tax residence, if necessary
freedom of traveling to various countries in the world
an opportunity not to reside in the new country permanently upon obtaining second passports
the need for Eugene to study in the UK without applying for a student visa
taking a holiday at the family residence in Europe at any time of the year
Considered options
We described all pros and cons of all three investor programs to Vyacheslav and Yuliya:
permanent residence in Hungary
citizenship of Malta
citizenship of Cyprus
