Client story
Client's Story
Where they started
The client is an old acquaintance of ours: several years ago we processed Saint Kitts and Nevis citizenship for him. At that time, the objective was different - to obtain a reliable second passport. Over time, plans expanded: the family needed a residence permit in the European Union, closer to Europe, with all the advantages of European residency. And the client returned to us specifically - because we already know his history and documentation.
Why the standard route did not work
An important principle worked here: one of our solutions becomes the foundation for the next. Unlike Russian nationals with a Russian passport (for whom Greek Golden Visa is not directly accessible), this client already has a Caribbean passport of Saint Kitts and Nevis - a non-sanctioned country. This means he applies for Greek residence permit directly, as a citizen of Saint Kitts and Nevis, without any workarounds or obtaining a new second passport.
What BRIDGES had to solve
We only needed to add the European component: the Saint Kitts and Nevis passport is one of the most respected Caribbean passports, and the application for Greek GV proceeded smoothly with it. Since the client is a returning customer, we did not collect everything from scratch - many documents and background checks had already been completed during citizenship processing, which expedited the application.
Why a standard answer would not do
At BRIDGES, we handled the standard Golden Visa component: real estate investment meeting Greek thresholds and residence permit application based on the Caribbean passport. As a result, a European residence permit was added to the strong Caribbean citizenship - a solution on top of a solution, for a client who has trusted us for years.
Several years ago you processed a Saint Kitts and Nevis passport for me, and now I wanted a European residence permit as well. I came back to you - you know my history. It turned out to be straightforward: the Caribbean passport is non-sanctioned, so I apply for Greek Golden Visa directly, without any additional passports, unlike Russian nationals. You added the European component - the investment and application - and I obtained Greek residence permit on top of my Caribbean passport. It is gratifying when one solution becomes the foundation for the next.
