Client story
Client's Story
Where they started
The client is a long-time 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 benefits of European residency. And the client returned to us specifically - because we already know his history and documents.
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 (who do not have direct access to Greek Golden Visa), this client already holds a Caribbean passport from Saint Kitts and Nevis - a non-sanctioned country. This means he applies for the Greek residence permit directly, as a Saint Kitts and Nevis citizen, without any workarounds or a new second passport.
What BRIDGES had to solve
We only had to add the European component: the client returns to us not for the first time - first a passport, now the EU, next we plan the tax aspect. Since the client is a repeat customer, we did not collect everything from scratch - many documents and checks had already been completed during citizenship processing, which accelerated the application.
Why a standard answer would not do
At BRIDGES, we completed the standard Greek Golden Visa process: investment in real estate meeting Greek thresholds and application for a residence permit under the Caribbean passport. As a result, a strong Caribbean citizenship was complemented by a European residence permit - a solution on top of a solution, for a client who has trusted us for years.
