Main points to concentrate on when choosing a program

  • 1

    Pitfalls

    Each program has its own pitfalls: obligation to live in the country, different tax rates for residents and non-residents, annual renewal of a residence permit, etc. We will discuss all these points so that you are aware of all the relevant issues regarding your option in order to enable you to make an informed decision to choose the program that best suits you.

  • 2

    Agent’s duty to ensure the consultation offered is of a high quality

    Approval of the client’s application depends 99% on the information provided by the program’s agent and their competence. Individual consultation is based not only on our knowledge of the laws in force in different jurisdictions but also on our experience, which is much more valuable than simply a theoretical understanding of the process.

  • 3

    Possibility of application being rejected

    Before recommending a specific program or signing an agreement, we first conduct a confidential Due Diligence check on each investor and each family member included in the application. The whole process takes no more than 24 hours. The Due Diligence check carried out by Immigrant Invest’s AML officers is similar to the one conducted by the program departments. We pick up any potentially sensitive issues and, together with our client, address them before submitting the application. In this way, we reduce the risk of the application being rejected to a negligible 1%.

  • 4

    Rights and obligations related to a second passport or residence permit

    After obtaining a second passport or residence permit in another country, the holder gains certain new rights and also obligations: reduced tax payments, double tax payments, notifying the authorities in your country of origin about your new passport or residence permit, potential obligation to be conscripted in the army of either country, etc. Wel also give you detailed advice on how to travel internationally with two passports.

What happens during our meeting with you

1

We analyze your case

Our specialists at Immigrant Invest will be at your disposal for at least an hour. We will focus on questions and goals that apply to your situation rather than on general information about the program. We will also discuss details and practical examples that we will not disclose until our meeting. If necessary, some of our colleagues will additionally join the meeting: for example, a fund or real estate specialist, or directors at our foreign offices.

2

We will reveal the real terms and timeline of the process

We will discuss the process and specify the timeframe within which we expect to obtain your second passport or residence permit based on our experience, and not just the letter of the law. We will warn you about the possible risks, delays and complications that may arise during the application.

3

We will inform you of the package of documents required

We will discuss the procedure and mechanism for confirming the legality of the source of your funds and give you practical advice. We will clarify which documents are needed to confirm the dependence of children and parents on the main applicant. We will show you how to obtain or certify the required documents.

4

We will calculate the cost of the program selected

We will calculate all the costs for you and your family, including the cost of services to be provided by Immigrant Invest. We will explain and discuss the terms of the agreement, and introduce the signatory to the agreement, Immigrant Invest’s CEO. We will be able to discuss and consolidate the entire package of documents without having to forward them to you.

5

We will select the best properties from our real estate base

If the program that you are interested in involves purchasing real estate, we will present the best properties from our real estate base. We will discuss the advantages and disadvantages of each option and narrow them down to the one most suitable for you.

6

Our discussion will be confidential

You will be free to ask our lawyers and other competent specialists any questions that you have, including those that you may not be comfortable discussing by phone or online: for example, the consent of your ex-spouse to include a child in the application or how to confirm the availability of the money required to participate in the program. All our meetings arer confidential and take place in separate meeting rooms.

Why we are trusted by the authorities and our clients

We have been checked and accredited by the governments in the European Union and the Caribbean. Our licenses are confirmation of their trust and confidence in us.

Key Role of Due Diligence in Citizenship and Residence Programs

We carefully check our clients' backgrounds before submitting their applications to government departments. This detailed Due Diligence reduces the chance of their applications being rejected to only 1%. Our company is among the few in our industry that has its own Compliance Department.

99%

is your chance of obtaining the chosen document if the Due Diligence check is successfully passed

We follow all rules set by the European Union’s 6th Anti-Money Laundering Directive in our citizenship by investment programs. This ensures our operations are transparent and legal.

It's important to note that if a client fails the government's Due Diligence check, it can negatively affect their future applications. A rejection means the current application won’t succeed, and it also lowers the chances of any future applications being accepted, in any country.

Feedback from our clients on our personal consultation

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.

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.

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.

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 at 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.

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.
