About Citizenship & Residency Programmes
Investment-based residency and citizenship programmes offer a structured pathway to permanent residency or full citizenship in exchange for qualifying investment — typically in real estate, government bonds, or business. Options range from European Golden Visas to Caribbean economic citizenship programmes.
Prism 7 Corporate assesses your goals, timeline, and investment budget to identify the most suitable programme and manages the complete application from programme selection through to approval.
Personal and business mobility
Connect company plans with the status your family needs
An international move can involve more than one decision. The right company structure does not automatically provide the residence or citizenship outcome you need, and a personal route may bring its own eligibility, renewal and presence rules. We can help you define the commercial objective, identify where specialist mobility assessment is required and connect the work without presenting separate decisions as one package.

Our Citizenship & Residency Service
Citizenship by Investment Programmes
We advise on citizenship by investment programmes across multiple jurisdictions — covering investment thresholds, qualifying routes, processing timelines, and the documentation requirements for each programme.
Second Passport Planning
A second passport provides flexibility for international travel, business operations, and estate planning. We assess which citizenship programmes align with your profile and objectives.
Family Inclusion Planning
Most citizenship and residency programmes extend to immediate family members. We advise on qualifying dependants, inclusion criteria, and documentation requirements for family applications.
Residency by Investment
For clients seeking long-term residency rather than full citizenship, we cover investor residency programmes across multiple destinations — alongside UAE Golden Visa options.
Due Diligence Readiness
All citizenship by investment programmes involve background checks and due diligence screening. We advise on what is assessed and how to prepare the application file for a clean review.
Independent, Multi-Jurisdiction Advice
We are not tied to a single programme or jurisdiction. Our advice is based on your specific situation — comparing options across destinations rather than promoting a preferred programme.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
UAE Citizenship and Residency Solutions — Key Questions
UAE citizenship is rarely granted to foreigners through a standard naturalisation process. It is conferred by presidential decree and is reserved for individuals who have made an exceptional contribution to the UAE — in science, arts, investment, culture, or other fields of national interest. Unlike most countries, the UAE does not have an open investor citizenship programme. The primary route to long-term UAE presence for most foreigners is the UAE Golden Visa.
The UAE Golden Visa is the primary long-term residency route for investors, offering a ten-year renewable permit without the requirement for employer sponsorship. Property investors, business investors, and entrepreneurs with qualifying investment thresholds can apply. We also assist clients from certain countries who are exploring access to European residency and citizenship programmes as complementary or alternative strategies.
UAE nationals are generally required to relinquish foreign nationality upon naturalisation. For foreign nationals, holding UAE residency (via a visa) alongside citizenship or residency of another country is entirely permissible — many UAE residents hold multiple passports or residency permits. We assist clients in structuring their residency portfolio to support their lifestyle, tax planning, and mobility objectives.
The UAE Retirement Visa is a five-year renewable residency permit for people aged 55 or over. Eligibility requires meeting one of three financial thresholds: a monthly income of at least AED 20,000, savings of AED 1 million or more in a UAE bank, or ownership of property valued at AED 2 million or more in the UAE. It is self-sponsored, without the need for an employer or business entity.
Yes — many UAE-based clients also maintain European residency through investment, ancestry, or national programmes. Portugal, Malta, Greece, Spain, and several other EU members offer residency-by-investment or citizenship-by-naturalisation pathways. Through our Access Europe service, we advise clients on combining UAE and European residency to maximise global mobility, estate planning, and access to EU markets.
