Passportivity Forum 2023

For the first time in Russia, the "Passportivity" brand held a business meeting for investors and partners to discuss the nuances of obtaining a residence permit and second citizenship by investment.

The company's partnership development department proposed the idea of the forum to present a new brand. Representatives of government programs with second citizenship and residence permits and partners from Vanuatu, Egypt, the UAE and other countries came to the forum.

The standards of service and the team remained the same. Investment program experts, lawyers and real estate specialists help you obtain a residence permit and second citizenship.

Under the "Passportivity" brand, we will expand the range of services while maintaining an individual approach to each investor and partner.

"Plan B" in a warm country with an Egyptian passport. Executive Director of the Egyptian Citizenship by Investment Unit, Mohamed Sameh Sedkiy, spoke about the conditions of participation. Applicants have four options with a minimum investment of $250,000.

On average, the process of obtaining an Egyptian passport takes from 6 to 9 months. The applicant applies, pays a state fee of $10,000, which is non-refundable, and fulfils the investment condition.

To get a passport, you can buy real estate, make a non‑refundable contribution or invest in a business.

Vanuatu has the fastest citizenship by investment program: a second passport can be obtained within two months. However, applicants do not need to visit Vanuatu to obtain or maintain status.

Vanuatu allows second or multiple citizenship, and the investors do not need to renounce their first passport.

Vanuatu citizens can obtain a B-1/B-2 tourist visa to the US. It allows you to spend up to 180 days a year in the country.

Purchasing real estate in Turkey opens the path to citizenship. Investors must buy real estate objects worth $400,000 or more and become participants in the investment program. The founder of EOS TURKEY PROPERTY, Ersin Öksüzoğlu, shared statistics on demand for Turkish real estate: in 2023, 50% of buyers were Russian citizens.

Obtaining Turkish citizenship by investment takes place remotely for about six months. The Turkish government allows dual citizenship.

An investor can rent out real estate to receive additional income. After three years, the property can be sold, and the money returned.

Residence permits in EU countries without investment. Is it possible to get "golden visas"? Portugal has launched the Digital Nomad Visa for remote workers with a minimum foreign income of €3,040. Financially independent persons can also obtain residence permits in Italy, Spain, and Portugal upon confirmation of passive income.

In addition to non-investment methods of obtaining a residence permit in Europe, investors still have access to "golden visas" to Spain and Portugal. The minimum investment threshold is €500,000.

In 2023, the Portuguese government approved several vital changes regarding investment options and the application of a special tax regime. For example, investors no longer have the option to purchase real estate, and they can apply for preferential tax treatment until December 31, 2023.

Second citizenship without investment is available in Paraguay: foreigners receive a residence permit, and after a few years, they apply for permanent residence and citizenship. Obtaining status includes paying administrative fees for lawyers, translators, and notaries. The applicant's expenses will be from €7,200.

You can apply for permanent residence and citizenship after another two years after receiving a Paraguay residence permit.

A Paraguayan passport allows visa-free entry into the Schengen area, Canada, and the UK and will also enable you to obtain a B-1/B-2 visa to the US for 10 years.

Feedback from Participants

We would like to thank you for the fantastic forum. It was very informative. And the organisation is beyond praise!

Marina

Thank you for the practical, eventful event! I needed as much information as possible about citizenship, residence permits and permanent residence in other countries. The business part of the program gave the maximum: detailed descriptions of countries and opportunities.

I realised that a partnership with your company expands the world's boundaries. And most importantly, it's reliable! The icing on the cake was an excellent reception at a luxury hotel. We will cooperate. Success and prosperity!

Olesya

Thank you for the invitation to the event. It was exciting and informative! We liked everything. The block about the EU countries was handy; we gained new knowledge.

Daria

You can only tell about the forum in a few words. I am an "advanced user": I have a residence permit, and my daughter has a work visa. Many tasks have nuances. I saw prospects; I needed to think about them and choose a path. Thank you!

Anatoly

Thank you for a beautiful event! We liked it; it was valuable and exciting. We have already sent the information to the client.
