What Global Citizen Solutions does

Global Citizen Solutions (GCS) is a London-headquartered investment migration consultancy that advises high-net-worth individuals, families, and entrepreneurs on citizenship-by-investment (CBI) and residency-by-investment (RBI) programs. Founded in 2017, the firm operates a multi-jurisdictional advisory model with a main European office in Lisbon, Portugal, and claims a team of more than 100 expert members operating across 17+ countries. Since inception, GCS states it has advised 10,000+ clients across 20 nationalities and facilitated more than $3.5 billion in client investments, spanning 40+ investment migration options across the Caribbean (Antigua and Barbuda, Dominica, Grenada, St Kitts and Nevis, St Lucia), Europe (Portugal, Malta, Greece, Italy, Cyprus, Hungary, Latvia, Monaco, UK), and other regions.

The company's core service offering is organized into three pillars: Citizenship Planning (CBI program advisory for second passports), Residency Planning (Golden Visa and passive-income / digital-nomad visa advisory), and Corporate Services (business mobility and visa solutions). Underpinning the advisory layer is a proprietary content and research engine — the Global Intelligence Unit — which publishes annual indices including the Global Citizenship Programs Index, Global Atlas of Risk and Readiness (GARR), Global Passport Index, Global Education Index, Digital Nomad Index, Global Retirement Index, and RCBI Index. A sub-brand, "Beyond Global," packages adjacent strategic mobility offerings.

GCS operates a sales-led, consultation-based go-to-market: clients engage through a "Book A Call" mechanism on the company's website, then move through consultation, document preparation, application submission, and post-approval support. Revenue is generated via professional services advisory fees (quote-based, not publicly disclosed); the investment thresholds published on its site (e.g., $200,000–$300,000 fund contributions for CBI; €250,000–€800,000 for Golden Visas) are government-mandated minimums, not GCS service fees. The firm is privately held and founder-led, with no disclosed institutional funding or M&A history. Distribution is supported by a content-marketing and SEO strategy, earned media features in outlets such as Forbes, Financial Times, and CNBC, and active social channels (LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, Medium).
