People – being people – tend to have short memories:

In 2024, practically everyone on the planet – outside of a few ardent students of economics and history – have forgotten that Golden Visas, as we know them today, were the direct result of IMF economic recommendations for Southern Europe following the 2008 Global Financial Crisis.

Golden Visa investment gave rise to a tide that lifted all the boats, creating tens of thousands of jobs and lifting their host nations out of debt and poverty. And it created in Portugal, in particular, the conditions for the extraordinary tourism boom the country is experiencing today.

Around 15 years ago, cities like Porto were quietly decaying backwaters. And without the adrenaline shot impact of Golden Visa investment, today would have been rotting shadows of their current selves.

And in the process, many American, British, Russian, South African and Chinese families secured a Plan B residency.

But in recent years, being successful has become a crime.

Leftist media outlets, in particular, delight in casting aspersions on Golden Visas and Citizenship By Investment programs.

These publications disingenuously describe the residency and citizenship by investment industry as a “murky world”, frequented by bad actors only…

But of course, this is all frankly a bit preposterous.

The one thing our clients have in common is that they’ve achieved success in their respective fields: 

Serial entrepreneurs. Startup founders. Lawyers, doctors, scientists, and philanthropists.

Enterprising, resourceful people who have built things from scratch, and seek to lock in optionality for their nearest and dearest in the face of increasing global uncertainty.

There is nothing sinister about what we or our clients do for a living.

Each morning, our team suit up, and educate our clients and their advisors on the best Plan B options via conference calls, at industry events, and in person.

We make sure that they understand all of their options, as well as the benefits and risk profiles of the various programs and products.

Now in practically any industry, the objective reality is that loyalty and trusted connections can open doors that the outside world doesn’t know exist.

And of course, there are numerous countries offering residency and citizenship by investment programs supported by explicit program legislation.

But as a matter of fact, just about every country in the world has legislation enabling them to award citizenship to whomever they see fit on a discretionary basis.

And if you are of sufficient value to any country – in whatever form that may take – you could become a citizens there – 100% legally.

But Brussels hates these programs and options, and have considerable clout and influence with which to discredit them.

These unelected EU bureaucrats don’t want people to be free, affluent and self-determining.

Today, we operate in an environment that is increasingly subject to undue pressures and overreaching supranational scrutiny.

Hence, discretionary citizenship programs tend to be exceedingly discrete. And the countries offering them don’t exactly put out syndicated press releases announcing these programs’ existence…

But given our loyalty, integrity and absolute discretion in working with countries offering mainstream residency and citizenship programs, we’ve been introduced to numerous gatekeepers for options you won’t find on the internet.

And no matter how many new industry players and Youtube “experts” may express their reservations, these discretionary options do exist – albeit generally only accessible to a rarified clientele.

We specialize in these exact kinds of options – in addition to all the mainstream Golden Visa and Citizenship By Investment programs – and can get you into the right rooms to achieve your objectives for alternative residency and citizenship – fast.

So…

We don’t exactly advertise who we are, or what we do.

Yet still, the right kind of advisors and clients tend to find their way to our door.

So if that is you – or your clients – feel free to get in touch.

Please note, however, that if we are not able to confirm your bona fides, we reserve the right not to respond.
