Investment immigration grants you access to a broad spectrum of opportunities in both your private and business life through significant financial contributions or investments into the economy of a target country. It provides a fast-track route to acquiring citizenship and/or residency in a country of your choice, and the benefits often extend to your dependents, ensuring that families can relocate together. The types of investment include (but are not limited to) starting a new business, investing in existing businesses, or purchasing government bonds. Some countries require non-refundable "gifts" in exchange for permanent residency and eventual citizenship. But it's not just about financial transactions. Moving to a new country involves understanding and adapting to the legal, cultural, and business environments. At HLG, we pride ourselves on our deep integration into the cultures and legal frameworks of the countries we operate in. This allows us to provide tailored solutions that address the unique needs of our clients.

HLG currently offers residency and citizenship programs from over 30 countries worldwide. We help you choose from a variety of investment options tailored to your financial capabilities and business interests - whether you're seeking visa-free or visa-on-arrival access to numerous countries; access to superior healthcare, education, and lifestyle options; or an expansion of your business operations into new markets with favorable legal and tax environments. Our services include acquiring citizenship by investment in the Caribbean countries of Antigua and Barbuda, Dominica, Grenada, St. Kitts and Nevis, St. Lucia; Türkiye in Europe; Egypt in North Africa; and the Asian-Pacific nation of Vanuatu. Our residency by investment programs stretch across continents, from Europe (France, Greece, Italy, Malta, Netherlands, Portugal, UK and more) through the Americas (Canada, Costa Rica, Panama, the U.S.) and the Asia-Pacific (Cambodia, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Malaysia, New Zealand, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam) all the way to Africa (Mauritius, South Africa) and the Middle East (UAE).

The amounts vary depending on the country and program you choose. Qualifying investments start from approximately USD 130,000 for donation routes and USD 200,000–400,000+ for real estate or other asset-based options, depending on the chosen country and program. For example, citizenship-by-investment donations typically range from USD 130,000–250,000 (e.g., Vanuatu from USD 130,000; Caribbean and Egypt options from about USD 200,000–250,000), while approved real estate options generally require at least USD 200,000–400,000 (e.g., Caribbean projects from USD 200,000, Turkey real estate at USD 400,000, and Egypt property from USD 300,000). Additional government fees, due diligence charges, and legal costs apply and vary by family size and program. At HLG, we assess your specific objectives and budget to recommend the exact qualifying investment and structure for your preferred citizenship or residency destination.

Our firm usually works on a fixed fee basis. We provide a clear and detailed quotation and the fixed fee permits the client to fully understand the cost involved without incurring additional charges. We stay away from the hourly billing process for the purposes of clarity and accountability. The price of our service is determined on a case-by-case basis and depends on the complexity of each case.

Yes, they are. When we provide a quotation, it includes our legal fees, as well as government fees and any other fees related to the file, such as translations and notarizations. Our goal is to provide a quotation with full clarity on the total cost, enabling clients to plan their budget confidently.

To start an application, clients typically need valid passports for all applicants; birth and marriage certificates; recent police clearance certificates; and basic identity verification and financial documents so we can verify your eligibility. Additional items such as medical reports, bank statements, source-of-funds evidence, and completed government forms are collected once a specific citizenship or residency program is selected, as we guide you through each document and legal requirement.

Yes. Citizenship by investment is legal. It is based on national laws passed by sovereign states and administered directly by their governments. These programs have been in place for many years, granting citizenship to foreign nationals who make a qualifying financial contribution, subject to strict eligibility rules, government oversight, and strict due-diligence and background checks. Having worked with these legal frameworks for decades, we understand how these programs operate in practice and which ones are truly reliable and compliant.

Our clients benefit from the protections of a fully licensed, multinational law firm regulated in multiple jurisdictions, with more than 30 years of practice and 19 offices worldwide. All immigration and investment advice is delivered by qualified legal professionals who follow strict ethical, confidentiality, and due-diligence standards designed to safeguard your interests and ensure full compliance with each country's applicable laws and regulations.
