WE ARE DEVOTED TO HELP YOU
We heard of lawyers in North Macedonia and also in Serbia. Who do not even know their own special laws for Investors from the Country and don’t have offered the investor this opportunity. Others Lawyers need several years to make the process finish because they simply have the wrong contacts in the respective government offices.
As we said at the beginning, it is particularly important in this field to know all the necessary documents, project phases, the individual paths. Since often several ministries are addressed, which are not always the same. Serbia, for example, has a thousand applicants for second citizenship each month. On the other hand, it is great for any lawyer, that is paid per hour and on the full time the process.
Lawyers have in this market for years and are losing trust, special in the Balkans. Because they cost only time, nerve, and money. As a result, most manage to pull through the application after 6 years with a lot of money, and of course, not for everyone.
It depends on how you prepare and present the Investment project, and which ministry you go to at the beginning. What advantages does it bring to the country, what benefits, is it long-term or short-term, and how many jobs are created. How much know-how flows from outside one, are new technologies being introduced, etc.
Of course, you cannot compare those Solutions for special Investor Citizenship(Special Citizenship program), to a classic Citizenship by Investment Program. Where everyone who has the necessary money gets second citizenship. One belongs to an Elite Investors, to the chosen ones, and is thus viewed and respected by the state. They get subvention and the doors open in any Ministry.
In addition, some of these countries, such as Serbia or North Macedonia, have a passport. That is far higher in the ranking than classic programs that are offered everywhere.
The Serbian passport for example is the fastest-growing passport in the world.
You can travel with this to more than 131 countries and new ones are added every year. It also counts among the few passports where the investor can travel to Russia, for example, China, without a visa. It is also easy for a Serb to get a Multi Entree Visa for the United States.
The requirements of every investor who can make such an application as Economic Citizenship are different. And depending on the respective laws in the respective country, for example also in other countries.
But here we have to talk clear and unmistakable that the GCI by TCME worldwide Group has never been able to guarantee a successful residence, visa. Or citizenship through its help! The decision to accept a foreign nationality is a national responsibility of the government.
