FAMILY & ELIGIBILITY
A Citizenship Strategy Considered Around Your Family.

BEFORE YOU DECIDE
Citizenship Is A Strategic Decision, Not Simply An Investment.
Choosing a citizenship programme involves more than comparing investment thresholds. Family circumstances, source of funds, due-diligence requirements, long-term objectives and the implications of holding another nationality should all be considered together.
Universal helps clients assess these considerations in context—looking beyond the programme itself to understand how a citizenship strategy may fit within their wider family, business and international planning objectives.
Programme requirements, government policies and individual circumstances can change. Appropriate professional advice should therefore form part of any final decision.
