Structuring a citizenship-by-investment application
In citizenship by investment, the application was concluded for the family by carrying out the steps of property selection, official valuation, promise-to-sell/title-deed structuring, and the undertaking annotation in the correct order.
Making the investment is not enough; the structure must be right
The valuation and undertaking details within the conditions could cause the application to fail even after the investment had been made.
The property selection was verified in advance with respect to restricted zones and land-registry records.
Our Approach
Keeping the commercial objective at the centre, we broke the legal risks down into measurable steps.
01 · Preliminary Check
The property, seller and zoning restrictions were verified against the application requirements.
02 · Transaction Structuring
The valuation, payment records and undertaking annotation were put in place in full.
03 · Family Coverage
The application set for the spouse and children was prepared in parallel.
