Residency Invest

What Residency Invest does

Residency Invest Limited is a UK-based private immigration consultancy headquartered in London with an associate office in Dubai. Founded in 2013 (or 2015, depending on the source), the firm assists high-net-worth individuals, families, and senior professionals in obtaining residency and citizenship through investment programs across the United States, the United Kingdom, the European Union, the Caribbean, and the United Arab Emirates. Its core product portfolio includes the U.S. EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program ($800,000 minimum), the U.S. E-2 Investor Visa, EU Golden Visa programs for Greece (€400,000-€800,000), Malta (€97,000 total), Cyprus (€2,000,000+), and Portugal (€280,000+), the UK Tier 1 Investor Visa (£2,000,000), and the UAE Golden Visa.

The company's core technology stack is minimal: it does not develop proprietary software products and relies on external platforms for case management and immigration processing. Its competitive positioning rests on a 100% Golden Visa application approval rate claim, qualified in-house immigration lawyers who remain with clients throughout multi-year processes, and a referral-driven customer acquisition model in which over 75% of new clients come from existing client recommendations. Residency Invest maintains strategic partnerships with US Immigration Fund-NY (regional center) and Donoso & Partners (immigration law firm) and operates a sub-brand called Lumon for currency exchange and foreign currency transfer services.

Revenue is generated through professional services fees on a per-engagement basis, with pricing varying by program and investment tier. The firm is founder-led, privately held, operates with a 1-10 employee headcount, and has not raised institutional funding. Its go-to-market relies on content marketing (regulatory analysis blog posts), direct consultation offers via phone/WhatsApp/website, and word-of-mouth referrals — without resellers or third-party distribution.
