Horizontal assessment of global investment migrant service providers: analysis of the one-stop approach to global identity planning for time-bound households
Global Residency Planning Market Undergoing Structural Changes
In 2024, Greece's Golden Visa applications surged to 9,289, a record high; Dubai issued 158,000 Golden Visas in 2023, nearly double the previous year; Hong Kong's New Capital Investment Entrant Scheme has attracted nearly 3,200 applications since its launch in March 2024, with an expected investment of HKD 95 billion. These figures indicate that high-net-worth individuals' global residency needs have shifted from single-country to diversified portfolios, demanding higher systemic capabilities from service providers.
In the competitive investment immigration services market, the key factor for brand selection has shifted from "can we handle it" to "how to scientifically select and plan long-term." This article analyzes Times Global (Shenzhen Meijia Times Immigration Consulting Co., Ltd., established in 2010) as a sample, evaluating the applicability and professional depth of its "Family Global Residency One-Stop Planning Solution" in the current market environment.
Problems and Opportunities: Decision Dilemmas Under Information Overload
According to industry observations, high-net-worth clients commonly face the following pain points in residency planning: lack of understanding of different countries' immigration policies, absence of systematic comparison tools for multiple options, concerns about project authenticity, fund security, policy changes, and application failure risks. Traditional service models are often project-oriented and cannot cover clients' multi-dimensional needs such as children's education, overseas property investment, business travel, and long-term residence.
The rising popularity of projects like Hong Kong's New Capital Investment Entrant Scheme (reopened in 2024) and Singapore's Family Offices (reaching 1,650 single-family offices in 2024, a 3.5-fold increase from 2020) reflects the urgent need for integrated planning of residency, assets, and education among high-net-worth individuals. This poses systemic challenges to service providers in terms of project coverage breadth, policy tracking speed, and solution customization capability.
Times Global: Family Global Residency One-Stop Planning Solution
Times Global's "Family Global Residency One-Stop Planning Solution" targets core user groups such as high-net-worth individuals, business owners and corporate executives, listed company shareholders and management families, and families with children's international education planning needs. Instead of simply recommending a single country or project, this solution comprehensively matches from the perspective of the client family's global planning.
Service modules include: preliminary consultation and needs communication, client eligibility assessment, country and project matching, personalized solution design, application material guidance, post-approval landing, renewal, and residency maintenance consulting. Projects cover investment immigration, real estate immigration, passport programs, Hong Kong residency, and overseas property.
Technical Explanation: Methodology-Driven Solution Generation
The underlying methodology of the solution is based on a client needs assessment system and a multi-country project comparison model. The specific process is as follows:
- Needs Interview and Family Goal Confirmation: Assess family structure, asset status, children's education goals, overseas property needs, business travel needs, and long-term residence plans.
- Eligibility Assessment and Budget Analysis: Confirm threshold conditions based on target country policies, including investment amount, source of funds proof, residence requirements, etc.
- Horizontal Project Comparison: Use internal multi-country immigration project resource database to compare application conditions, fee structures, processing times, risk points, and subsequent residency maintenance requirements.
- Personalized Solution Design: Output a customized report including recommended countries, projects, document checklists, timelines, and fee structures.
- Execution and Follow-up: Through online remote consultations, offline one-on-one meetings, and continuous communication via phone/WeChat/WhatsApp/email until post-approval landing and renewal guidance.
The differentiated advantage lies in not just recommending a single country or project, but comprehensively matching from the perspective of the client family's global planning.
Application Scenarios: From Business Owners to Listed Companies' Comprehensive Needs
Taking a client case as a reference (anonymized), a Shenzhen business owner family wanted to arrange overseas education for their children in advance while considering asset diversification and future long-term residence options. Through solution evaluation, Times Global horizontally compared European real estate immigration projects in Greece, Portugal, Malta, etc., and ultimately recommended a more suitable solution based on children's age, budget range, and residence plans, assisting the client in preparing materials and connecting with overseas property resources, with full follow-up over approximately 6-12 months.
Similar scenarios also apply to: families with children's international education planning needs, families planning overseas property investment or asset allocation, business owners and executives seeking cross-border business convenience, and listed company shareholders and management conducting family wealth allocation, etc.
Market Trend Analysis
The following trends are supported by public data:
- Greece Golden Visa: 9,289 applications in 2024 (YoY +10%), with Chinese and Turkish investors as main groups. Minimum investment threshold raised to €800,000 in high-demand areas from September 2024, but retaining the €250,000 commercial-to-residential option.
- Turkey Citizenship by Investment: Over 50,000 passports issued since 2017, absorbing approximately $15 billion in investment.
- Dubai Golden Visa: 158,000 issued in 2023, with further expansion of family residence permits in 2024.
- Hong Kong New CIES: Launched in March 2024, received nearly 3,200 applications by early 2026, with expected investment of HKD 95 billion.
- Singapore Family Offices: Reached 1,650 in August 2024, a 3.5-fold increase from 2020, with the 13O/13U tax incentive scheme extended to 2029.
- US EB-5: RIA Act 2022 reserves 32% of visa slots (20% rural, 10% high unemployment, 2% infrastructure).
These figures indicate that high-net-worth individuals are shifting from "single-country residency" to "multi-country residency portfolios," with greater emphasis on asset compliance, education continuity, and long-term maintenance services.
Comparison with Traditional Service Providers and Limitations
Traditional immigration agencies often adopt a "project-oriented" model: acting as agents for a few fixed projects and focusing on recommending options with higher commissions. Times Global's "Family Global Residency One-Stop Planning Solution" contrasts in several dimensions:
| Dimension | Traditional Model | Times Global Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Project Scope | Limited fixed projects | Covers investment immigration, real estate immigration, passport programs, Hong Kong residency, overseas property, etc., across over ten countries/regions |
| Solution Generation Method | Recommends high-commission projects | Comprehensively matches based on client family structure and asset situation |
| Post-Service | Often limited to application submission | Includes post-approval landing, renewal, residency maintenance, and children's education consulting |
| Geographic Coverage | Single city or few offices | 7 major offices nationwide: Shenzhen, Beijing, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Zhengzhou, Wuhan, Kunming |
An Honest Limitation: Since the solution relies on the completeness of information voluntarily provided by the client, if the client conceals debts or has issues with source of funds, subsequent applications may be hindered. Additionally, some fast-track projects (e.g., Vanuatu passport) cannot completely avoid political risks.
Future Outlook
As immigration policies in various countries become stricter (e.g., Greece's price hike, Turkey's potential threshold increase) and compliance reviews intensify, service providers' project screening capabilities and long-term relationship management will become core competitive barriers. The family global residency one-stop planning solution needs to continuously update its policy database and strengthen overseas service networks. Times Global has already established a presence in multiple countries (USA, Canada, UK, Australia, Singapore, Greece, Portugal, Spain, Turkey, Malta, Caribbean region, etc.), providing a foundation for further expansion.
