Obtaining citizenship and residence permit of the UK, USA, Malta, Cyprus and other countries

Obtaining citizenship and residence permit of the UK, USA, Malta, Cyprus and other countries

For several years, Smart Products and Services has been assisting individual and corporate clients with residence permit and citizenship in the USA, UK, Europe, and the Caribbean. Our team offers full-cycle support — from submitting visas and applications to selecting real estate investment and citizenship-by-investment programs. We guarantee our clients professional, fast, and confidential service at every stage. 

Our experts offer clear guidance on immigration policy of the chosen country, visa application procedures, second citizenship or permanent residence requirements. These matters require careful legal and strategic planning. That is why our clients are supported by experienced immigration lawyers and experts in the field of investment migration and corporate relocation. Our team combines deep knowledge in international law, strong practical experience, and a commitment to protecting each client’s economic and personal interests through an individual approach.

United States — EB-5 Investment Immigration

The EB-5 Investor Program is one of the most popular paths to U.S. residency. Established in 1990, the federal program was designed to stimulate the U.S. economy through foreign investment, providing eligible investors with a Green Card — and, later, the opportunity to become a U.S. citizen.

Key requirements:

  • Establish a business or invest from $900,000 in your own or a Regional Center project (investment is refundable);
  • Create at least 10 full-time jobs;
  • Provide proof of clean criminal record and legal source of funds.

The EB-5 visa allows the investor, spouse, and unmarried children under 21 to obtain U.S. permanent residence.

Green Card benefits:

  • Reside in the U.S. with no visa limits or time restrictions;
  • Access to free public education;
  • Easier admission to top universities and access to scholarships and financial aid;
  • Reduced resident tuition rates versus international tuition rates.

Program options:

  • Green Card for the investor and the entire family;
  • Green Card for one parent and children (the second parent may apply later, reducing tax obligations);
  • Green Card for children only (rights to study, live, and work in the U.S.).

Our EB-5 support services include:

  • Step-by-step clarification on the program requirements and rules;
  • Consultations with licensed U.S. immigration attorneys (with a 100% success rate);
  • Development of a personalized investment and migration plan;
  • Introduction to 3–4 vetted investment projects from trusted Regional Centers;
  • Preparation and submission of the complete application package;
  • Assistance and support through the Green Card issue and refund stages.

 

UK, Malta, and Cyprus — Residence and Citizenship

We assist individual and corporate clients in visa applications, residence permit renewals, permanent residence, and citizenship applications in Europe.

For the UK, we guide clients in applying for:

  • Tier 1 Investor Visa
  • Tier 1 Entrepreneur Visa
  • Tier 2 Work Permit

Our experts advise on where and how it’s easiest to obtain European citizenship through real estate investment. We’ll help you find properties in the UK, Malta, or Cyprus suitable for residence or citizenship registration, explain purchase procedures, mortgage terms, and rental opportunities, and ensure every transaction complies with local law.

We also help clients with capital relocation, tax planning, and financial structuring when changing residency.

Our experts clarify:

  • The advantages of each immigration program;
  • Minimum investment requirements;
  • Deposit terms;
  • Application deadlines (typically within 6 months).

France — Residence Permit (Long-Stay “Visitor” Visa)

Obtaining a French residence permit requires proving family ties, student status, or stable income.

Eligibility categories include:

  • Students enrolled in accredited institutions (student visa for duration of study);
  • Entrepreneurs investing from €30,000, presenting a business plan, and demonstrating relevant experience;
  • Employees with a work contract and employer invitation;
  • Applicants who do not work or study but have regular income and real estate in France (Visitor Visa).

Required documents:

  • Valid passport;
  • Birth and marriage certificates;
  • Proof of residence in France (rental or ownership documents);
  • Proof of regular income and sufficient funds;
  • Medical insurance;
  • Optional: motivation letter and application form.

Documents must be translated into French and notarized.

Procedure:

  1. Submit an application at the French Consulate in your home country (obtain a 3-month national visa).
  2. Upon arrival in France, file the documents with immigration services, provide biometrics, and pay the fee.

 

Spain — Residence Permit Without Work Authorization

Available to applicants who can demonstrate financial independence:

  • Business owners or entrepreneurs;
  • People with high income level;
  • Remote workers with verified income;
  • Pensioners with sufficient savings.

Italy — Residence Permit (Permesso di Soggiorno)

Italy offers several types of residence permits:

  • Seasonal work (6–9 months)
  • Study or temporary residence (up to 1 year)
  • Family reunification, employment, or business (up to 2 years)

Applicants may qualify under categories such as:

  • Family reunion
  • Study or research
  • Employment or entrepreneurship

After several years, the residence permit can be converted to permanent residency, provided the applicant has lived legally and can confirm financial stability and compliance.

We work with the following programs:

  • Antigua and Barbuda
  • Grenada
  • Saint Kitts and Nevis
  • Dominica
  • Saint Lucia

These programs provide second citizenship and visa-free travel to 140+ countries, along with favorable tax regimes and the possibility of including family members in one application.
