Immigration hallelujahs for UAE residents… Guaranteed citizenship, visa-free travel to many nations

Over the past three to four years, UAE residents have increasingly applied for residency in three emerging immigration countries; St. Kitts and Nevis, Dominica and Bulgaria.

“The increase is tremendous,” says Pej Mohyedddin, immigration consultant at Bayat Legal Services, a Business and Immigration Lawyer firm.

The benefits of becoming a resident in one of these countries are great. There are good chances of obtaining citizenship, visa-free travel options to many countries and a fairly easy application process, with relatively little requirement from applicants.

But the dream is not for everyone. “These programs are based on investment,” explains Sohail Saleem, general manager of Premiers Consultancy. “These programs are designed for high-net worth investors whose priority is not to migrate but get citizenship or second passports.”
