With the surge of popularity of global mobility due to political and economic instability over recent years, and the rise in numbers of the global elite, it is evident that economic citizenship has a firm place in the market with huge revenue potential. Due to growing demand for dual citizenship programs worldwide, especially among Gulf region, CIS countries and Asia it’s the right time to tap into this trend and build a stronger presence in the marketplace. If you are in the business of offering Residence & Citizenship by Investment programs to high net worth individuals or serve HNWI clients with family office, legal, tax, or other wealth planning services and are looking to capture your share of the market by offering UK Tier 1 Investor Visas & Citizenship, or other residence & citizenship by investment programs in the EU & The Caribbean, this article is for you.

Whether you are entering this highly competitive industry for the first time, and considering offering a particular program, or if you are an existing big player in the market, with offices worldwide and thinking of expanding your CBI offering to include new jurisdictions where your business currently has no presence or network, or simply if you are expanding your service offerings, we would welcome the opportunity of collaborating.

Leaders in UK Tier 1 Investor Visa and Citizenship

Applying for UK Tier 1 visa, gives applicants the opportunity to live in one of the most sought after locations worldwide. Contrary to Brexit hype, the UK still remains one of the most attractive citizenship programs worldwide, ranking highly in the passport index and attracting investors from all over the world.

The UK passport gives applicants many advantages including visa free access to over 186 countries worldwide.

With an investment of between £2-10 million, applicants can benefit from a UK Investor visa for their entire family including dependants.

There are no language requirements or English certificates required with the possibility of applicants acquiring citizenship within 5 to 6 years, depending on the level of investment made.

Once the applicant has made their application for a UK Tier 1 Investor Visa, and made their £2 million investment within 90 days, they can enjoy living in the UK, with a maximum of 450 days absence from the UK during the 6 year period prior to citizenship being granted, with a maximum of only 90 days absence in the 6th year.
