Assraoui, RIF Trust has become a major player in the global mobility industry. What are some of the main factors that have contributed to your success?

The global investment migration industry is thriving, valued at $20 billion in 2023, projected to reach $25 billion by 2027. Golden visas issued globally in 2022 increased by 25 per cent to 45,000. Top destinations included Portugal, Greece, Türkiye, Dominica, and the UAE, issuing over 35,000 visas collectively in 2022.

We've seen a surge in interest in second citizenship and residency programmes in recent years. What are some key trends driving this demand?

Concerns over geopolitical uncertainties and economic instability contribute to increased demand. The industry witnessed a 15 per cent growth in citizenships issued through investment in 2022, totalling 10,000 globally. St Kitts and Nevis, Antigua and Barbuda, Dominica, Grenada, and Malta topped the list, issuing a combined 8,500 citizenships in 2022.

The industry, facing challenges, will thrive by embracing technology, prioritising client needs, upholding ethical standards, and adapting to evolving regulations. RIF Trust is committed to providing exceptional service, expert guidance, and personalised solutions for clients to achieve their global mobility goals.
