Become a Citizen in UK, Europe, Singapore by Investment from Nigeria, Expert Md Badsha Fahad Discusses

We can’t emphasise any further the vast opportunities for Nigerians to become citizens in foreign countries by investment. In this session, with partner at Citinavi, Md Badsha Fahad, we discuss how you can invest in the UK, European countries, Singapore, Hongkong, Russia, India and more, and become a citizen.

BEA: What inspired you to launch Citizen by Investment in Nigeria?

Md Badsha Fahad: Nigeria is one of the fast-growing and developed country among the African countries. Its economy is stable. We want clients from Nigeria.

The Antigua Citizenship by Investment Program (CIP) was introduced in 2013 as a way for foreign nationals to secure citizenship in the Country in exchange for making a significant contribution to its economy.

The CIP contributes to the economy by promoting job creating investments, encouraging tourism and real estate developments, and through direct contributions to the Country’s National Development Fund.

BEA: What countries are available for investment?

Md Badsha Fahad: One of our most popular programs at the moment is the Antigua & Barbuda Citizenship by Investment Program, which grants citizenship and passport within 6 months only, offers the Caribbean CIP’s best passport with 165 visa-free countries (including UK, Europe, HK, India, Russia, Singapore, and many more), and is the most affordable “government donation” CIP in the market.

More and more business people are obtaining this citizenship to secure freedom of movement, facilitate asset relocation, implement tax strategies and ensure their children benefit from the liberties a second citizenship will offer them throughout their lives.

Antigua also happens to offer the safest real estate investment market in the Caribbean CIPs because it is a larger economy and a more populous country. You can read more attached about our project Verandah Estates – what is especially attractive is that the investor should be able to recuperate his capital after the holding period because they will have freehold title of a property in a true residential project, where even locals live and work.

Processing-time is 6 to 9 months. Passport is issued within this period by DHL or other courier services at the home-country of the investors. Investors are not required to visit or stay in Antigua and Barbuda to complete the process.

Program Benefits:

1. Visa-free travel to 165 countries, including Europe, the UK, Singapore, Russia, India and many more.
2. Secure banking system offers a safe place to deposit funds in a tax-friendly jurisdiction.
3. Fast processing (3 to 6 months)
4. Simple documentation
5. Children up to the age of 30, unmarried siblings, and parents over the age of 55 can qualify as dependents.
6. Stable and appealing social and political life. The country is known as a luxury travel destination.

BEA: Is it a registered company?

Md Badsha Fahad: MBF Consulting International Ltd is incorporated in the Republic of Seychelles as an International Business Company since 27^th October, 2020.

BEA: How secured are investments on your platform?

Md Badsha Fahad: The investments are paid into a CIU-controlled escrow account. Government controls the funds, therefore it is safe and secure.
