​Why do licences matter in investment migration?

Licences confirm that a company is officially authorised to guide investors and manage applications. This is crucial in investment migration, which involves large financial commitments and is subject to strict international regulations. 

In many programs, only government-authorised agents can submit applications on behalf of investors. Choosing a licensed adviser ensures that your application follows all legal requirements and that the entire process remains transparent and secure.

  • 1

    Proof and transparency of legitimacy

    Licences granted by government authorities confirm a company’s recognition to represent clients. These licences are publicly verifiable in official registries, giving clients confidence and eliminating hidden risks.

  • 2

    Exclusive rights and proven results

    Many programs accept applications only through licensed agents. This guarantees that documents are prepared correctly, submitted directly to the competent authority, and handled within regulated procedures.

  • 3

    Client protection

    Licensed agents must follow strict compliance standards such as AML, KYC, and thorough Due Diligence. These measures safeguard your funds, protect personal data, and maintain your reputation.

  • 4

    Higher success rates

    Regulated processes significantly reduce the likelihood of application refusals. Licensed advisers understand program requirements, anticipate potential issues, and address them before submission.

  • 5

    Banking and legal trust

    Applications handled by licensed providers are recognised by banks, law firms, and tax advisers worldwide. This credibility reduces delays, eases account opening, and ensures smoother financial and legal interactions.

​Why choose Immigrant Invest to protect your future?

Beyond licensing, Immigrant Invest has its own Compliance Department that carries out preliminary Due Diligence for every client. This proactive screening identifies risks before submission, lowering the chance of refusal to just 1%.

Alon

Owner of a chain of supermarkets

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.

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.

Belkacem

An investor from Algeria

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.

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.

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.

The head of Immigrant Invest’s legal department handled my application. I want to thank her in particular because I could turn to her for any question or advice, even outside office hours, including on weekends. Moreover, all issues that arose were always resolved promptly.

I also appreciated the convenience of being able to prepare and submit my application online without having to travel to different offices and government departments. In the end, my second passport was sent to me by DHL within just two months.

The service and support given to me at Immigrant Invest have left me only with positive impressions and pleasant memories. In particular, I would like to thank your lawyer Vladlena Baranova, who resolved every issue. She saved our time and energy, listened to and understood all our requests and wishes, and handled our application perfectly. There were no problems that she could not solve. I would be too happy to use your company's services and Olga's lawyer again.

​Frequently asked questions

  • Which government authorities have licensed Immigrant Invest?

    Immigrant Invest is licensed by the official government authorities responsible for administering citizenship and residence by investment programs, including agencies in Malta, Vanuatu, São Tomé and Príncipe, Grenada, St Kitts and Nevis, Dominica, St Lucia, and Antigua and Barbuda. Each licence is issued directly by the relevant government body.

  • Where can I verify your licences in official registries?

    You can verify our licences through the official government registries of each citizenship and residence by investment program. We provide direct links to these registries for every country, so you can check our status quickly and independently.

  • Do all investment programs require applications to be submitted through authorised agents?

    Not all programs require it, but many do. Several citizenship and residence by investment programs accept applications only through government-authorised agents. In these cases, investors cannot apply directly — licensed agents are the only entities permitted to prepare and submit documents to the relevant authorities.

  • What is the difference between an authorised agent, promoter, and IMA?

    The main difference lies in the level of authorisation and responsibilities set by each program.

    An authorised agent holds the highest level of authorisation. They can advise clients, represent them before the government, and submit full applications directly to the relevant authorities.

    A promoter is licensed to promote the program and provide initial advice to clients. In some jurisdictions, promoters can also prepare and submit applications, but their scope of responsibility and regulatory obligations may be more limited than those of authorised agents.

    An International Marketing Agent, or IMA, is authorised to promote the program internationally. Depending on the specific rules of the program, IMAs may either have submission rights or cooperate with a local authorised agent for application filing.
