Case Study:
Background:
Dubai, a global hub for business and innovation, is home to a diverse group of entrepreneurs. Among them are nationals from Lebanon, Syria, Palestine, Nigeria, Pakistan, and the United States. While they have established successful ventures in Dubai, many sought the benefits and security of a European passport.
The Challenge:
These entrepreneurs desired a European passport for various reasons, from unrestricted travel within the Schengen area to accessing world-class social benefits. However, the pathway to European citizenship can be complex, requiring strategic investments and a deep understanding of immigration laws.
Our Solution:
Guided by our expertise, these clients were introduced to the potential of the Portuguese Golden Visa program. This program offers residency to non-EU investors who make qualifying investments in Portugal, such as real estate purchases.
The Journey:
Upon our recommendation, these entrepreneurs made strategic investments in Portuguese real estate. Within just six months of initiating the process, they were granted the coveted Golden Visa. This not only allowed them unrestricted travel within the Schengen area but also provided access to Portugal’s social benefits.
