Citizenship & Residency by Investment

A passport or residency permit is one leg of a structure, not the whole plan. We advise on every active 2026 citizenship-by-investment and residency-by-investment program — and we say no to the ones that don't actually solve what the client is trying to solve.

How we work

The pillars of the practice.

Program selection

We start with your underlying objective — mobility, tax residency, banking access, family planning, exit optionality — and reverse-engineer the program. The best program is the one your structure will still benefit from in five years.

Source-of-wealth narratives

We build the file before it is filed: corroborated income trail, audited accounts, tax filings, asset-sale documentation, banking references that match the story. The internal standard is stricter than any government vendor's.

Banking pairing

A new passport is only useful if banks recognise it. We pair the citizenship or residency file with private-bank onboarding so the relationships are live before — not after — naturalisation.

Tax-residency interaction

Citizenship does not change tax residency. We design the residency leg (Singapore, Hong Kong, UAE, Mauritius and others) in parallel so the two reinforce each other.

The offer

What a CBI / RBI engagement looks like

A confidential partner call to map your objective, an honest fit assessment against the active 2026 programs, a written shortlist (typically two to three options), and only then a fee proposal, document checklist and timeline. No pitch deck, no broker-style steering.

Why we don't publish costs

Because the headline number is rarely the real number, and both move. Government fees, due-diligence costs, family-size loadings, agent fees and (where applicable) real-estate carrying costs change the all-in figure materially. We quote in writing, after the fit assessment.

Frequently asked

Do you only work on citizenship, or also residency?

Both. For most clients the right answer in 2026 is a deliberate residency programme in Asia, Europe or the UAE — often combined with a Caribbean passport. The two are designed together.

Are you a licensed agent for these programs?

We work with licensed agents in each jurisdiction and supervise the file end-to-end. Our value sits on the structuring and source-of-wealth side, not the local filing fee.

Can you tell me which program is best?

Not without understanding the underlying objective. The same program is excellent for one family and entirely wrong for another. The fit assessment is the work.
