Principal — CIVITAS Global Citizenship

I built CIVITAS on a simple thesis: the investment migration industry sells transactions, but investors need architecture. Most firms process applications. I designed a research platform that gives high-net-worth investors the data, financial modeling, and strategic context the industry has historically gatekept.

The Thesis
Behind CIVITAS

The global investment migration market is projected to exceed $100 billion by 2030. Yet the advisory layer serving this market hasn't evolved in decades. Most firms operate on a brokerage model — commission-driven, single-jurisdiction, and transactional.

I saw a structural gap. Family offices and sophisticated investors don't need someone to fill out forms. They need an advisor who understands how residency, citizenship, tax domicile, and asset allocation interact across jurisdictions — and can model the financial outcomes before capital is deployed.

So I built one. CIVITAS is a research-first advisory platform: original financial modeling, published investment architecture guides, free analytical tools, and jurisdiction-agnostic strategy. No developer partnerships. No government affiliations. No inventory to move.

How I Work
With Clients

01

Exposure Audit

I map your current jurisdictional risk: tax residency, passport limitations, asset concentration, and family structure. Most investors have never audited this layer of their portfolio.

02

Strategy Design

I model scenarios across qualifying programs — comparing total cost of ownership, timeline, tax implications, and mobility outcomes. You receive a ranked shortlist with 5-year projections.

03

Execution

I deploy licensed attorneys and authorized agents in each jurisdiction. I manage the process end-to-end — compliance, documentation, government liaison, and timeline enforcement.

Execution Network

All applications are filed through vetted, government-licensed agents and qualified legal counsel in the relevant jurisdiction. I manage the strategy and oversight; the network handles formal execution.
