After the political events in Belarus, a family approached us having decided to emigrate. The client’s main priorities were ensuring safety for their child, creating a stable foundation for their business abroad, and relocating to a country with a transparent legal system and a stable economy.
“We did not want to delay the move — the situation in the country pushed us to take action. We needed a solution that would simultaneously provide protection, the opportunity to work, and confidence in the future” the father of the family commented.
The client found out about our company through the search query “EU citizenship through investment.” After an online consultation, we conducted a detailed analysis of the budget, goals, and future scenarios. Three options were proposed for consideration:
- Cyprus — as a reliable and fast program with the possibility to purchase real estate and conduct business;
- Malta — offering full EU citizenship but requiring a longer processing time;
- Portugal (residence permit) — promising, but without a guarantee of citizenship within a foreseeable future.
The family chose Cyprus as it best combined legal protection, business infrastructure, and realistic timelines. Additionally, the head of the family planned to transfer the business to Europe and purchase property under the investment program.
During the document preparation stage, there was a need to confirm the source of funds. We assisted the client in preparing proof of income, providing legally justified explanations of capital origin — including contracts and corporate documents from Belarus.
The citizenship timeline was as follows:
- January 10 — initial consultation held;
- February 5 — purchase of real estate in Cyprus completed;
- February 20 — document collection finalized;
- March 1 — official application submitted;
- April 15 — approval received from the Cyprus Ministry of Interior;
- May 30 — family received passports.
As a result:
- The family obtained full Cyprus citizenship, which opened access to residence, education, healthcare, and employment throughout the EU;
- The father legally transferred the Belarusian business to Cyprus, establishing a company in full compliance with local laws and gaining access to the European banking system;
- All family members gained visa-free access to over 160 countries, including the USA, UK, Canada, and Australia;
- The child received the opportunity to obtain residence permits and study in other European countries;
- The family’s capital came under EU legal protection, enabling long-term investment and financial planning.
In this case, citizenship became not only a legal solution but also a tool for strategic rethinking of the future — personal, professional, and family.
