Frequently Asked Questions
Citizenship by investment sounds mysterious, right? It's not. We get the same questions repeatedly — and we don't mind answering them. Scroll through below. Can't find what you're looking for? Ring us up. We answer our phones like normal humans.
We help people obtain citizenship or residency in other countries through investment programs. Think of us as your guide through the bureaucratic maze. We handle everything: finding the right country for your situation, structuring your investment, managing paperwork, and keeping you from making expensive mistakes. We've worked with 47 different clients from 12 countries. No two paths are identical.
Depends entirely on where you're investing. Portugal's residency program? Around 90 days once you've committed. Certain Caribbean citizenship programs? Could be 4-6 months. Malta's different still. We're upfront about timelines from day one — no vague "it depends" nonsense. We'll give you a realistic schedule and stick to it.
We specialize in European residency and citizenship programs, plus select options in the Caribbean and Middle East. Portugal, Malta, Greece, Cyprus — those are our bread and butter. But we're not limited to those. If there's a legitimate investment program somewhere, we've either done it or we know someone who has. Just ask.
Could be €250,000. Could be €2 million. Honestly? It varies wildly by country and program type. Real estate investments differ from government bonds differ from business investments. We don't have a one-size-fits-all answer, and anyone claiming they do is probably selling something sketchy. Let's talk specifics about your situation first.
No. And anyone promising you guaranteed citizenship is lying. What we guarantee is honest guidance, proper documentation, and representation through the entire process. We've got a 94% approval rate across our programs — that's not luck. It's experience, attention to detail, and knowing exactly what each government wants. That's the guarantee that matters.
We discuss fees upfront — there's the investment itself (going to the government or approved investments) plus our service fee. Payment structure depends on what we're doing. Some clients pay everything upfront. Others prefer splitting it. We work with you. Transparency isn't optional here, it's essential. No hidden charges. That's not negotiable.
Rare, but it happens. And when it does, we don't disappear. We review what went wrong, talk through options, and figure out next steps together. Sometimes it's a simple fix. Sometimes it means pivoting to a different program. We've handled rejections, worked through appeals, and found alternative paths for 13 clients over the years. You're not alone.
