Alexsey’s company supplies fabrics to countries in the EU. In 2019, the businessman opened a production branch in the United Kingdom with a direct sales department. Since then, Alexsey has been in the country at least once every 1‑2 months to meet with business partners.
On such trips, the businessman is accompanied by his son Igor. It is important for a young man to participate in the affairs of the company as the future successor of the family business. Sometimes Olga and Anna join them to relax and see the sights of the United Kingdom.
Anna dreams of becoming an international model. She sent out portfolios to agencies in different countries. The girl was noticed by a British agency. Anna passed casting and signed a contract with the agency in January 2020. She planned to come to the United Kingdom regularly for filming.
All members of Alexsey’s family had to apply for visas to travel to the United Kingdom. To do this, they need to travel from Odesa to Kyiv every time: first to apply, and then to pick up their passports with a visa. At the same time, Alexsey needs to collect documents on income and receive invitations from British partners to confirm the purpose of the trip.
The businessman got tired of bureaucracy and thought about how to obtain citizenship or a residence permit of another country. He wanted to enter the territory of the United Kingdom without a visa.
In May 2020 Alexsey consulted Immigrant Invest. At this time, the borders were closed due to the COVID‑19 pandemic, so it was important to find a solution that would allow all procedures to be completed remotely.
We helped the investor choose an investment program. In two months, the family issued second passports, which allowed them to visit the United Kingdom without a visa.
