Programs move.
Your decision record should not disappear with the sales pitch.

Our decision standard

Fact-based insight

The evidence is part of the advice.

Every figure should have a scope, a date and a source. Civita exposes all three so a family and its professional team can distinguish what is known from what is assumed.

Method before marketing

Enacted law, operational practice, published fees and Civita analysis remain visibly separate.

Review the methodology

Advisory

One mandate.
Five ways to make it defensible.

The route is never the starting point. We begin with the family, the constraints and the decision that must be made, then bring the program data into the room.

01

Program-fit analysis

A documented first view of which citizenship and residence routes appear to fit the family, which do not, and where professional review is still required.

02

Private strategy sessions

A working session that pressure-tests timing, capital, family eligibility, presence tolerance and policy risk before a route becomes a commitment.

03

Citizenship by investment

Independent comparison of citizenship programs, modeled entry cash, due diligence, dependent rules, processing and the resilience of the passport outcome.

04

Residence and golden visas

Residence routes assessed as systems, not brochures: qualifying capital, residence conditions, renewals, citizenship pathways, exit options and tax-advice dependencies.

05

Research and monitoring

Versioned studies, source-linked program records and material policy alerts for decisions that need to remain current after the first recommendation.

Golden visa and citizenship programs

Compare the routes before choosing the jurisdiction.

Civita maintains reviewed records for citizenship by investment, residence by investment and other investor-migration routes. Compare thresholds, modeled total cost, timing, residence rules, family eligibility and route risk on a consistent basis.

Thresholds are orientation figures, not total cost. Each record states its route basis, assumptions and certification date.

Civita Research

Optionality is a system, not a passport count.

The Optionality Report follows selected routes from 2016 to July 2026, documenting openings, repricings, restrictions and closures with a public source register and inclusion log.

The operating standard

Every recommendation should survive scrutiny.

A Civita decision record shows which rules are enacted, which claims are assumptions, what costs are modeled and where licensed legal or tax advice is required. Reporting, analysis and enacted law remain distinct, and corrections remain public.

  1. 01

    Primary-source verification

    Material program facts are tied to government, legislative or regulatory sources wherever available.

  2. 02

    Total-entry-cost modeling

    Qualifying capital is separated from mandatory charges, professional costs and disclosed assumptions.

  3. 03

    Uncertainty made visible

    Announced policy, enacted law, operational practice and analysis are labeled as different evidence states.

  4. 04

    Independent fee model

    Civita is paid by the client and accepts no commission from a program, property, developer or fund.

Decision library

Start with the question, then evaluate the route.

The library connects high-intent questions to maintained program records, cost models and practical decision criteria. It is designed to help a family reach the advisory conversation with a clearer shortlist and better questions.
