We’re Dean and Ana. We moved our family across Europe and built the Golden Visa service we wish existed: real lawyers from day one, direct answers, clear fees, and a fund comparison that speaks human. Strategy, track record, liquidity, and U.S. suitability, so you can decide in days, not months.

We keep momentum with same-day replies and tight checklists from first call to submission.

If something’s slow or risky, we say it. If there’s a cleaner route, we steer you there. The goal is simple: remove noise, keep you in control, and make approval feel inevitable.
