RIF TRUST

RIF Trust is a company that provides consultancy services for those seeking Second Citizenship or Residency via investment or donation.

Obtaining a Second Nationality or a Permanent Residency is an efficient solution for people looking for a safer environment, for security, and high-quality healthcare and education. This solution is called ‘citizenship by investment’. A second passport will grant the flexibility and security that are so precious and essential in today’s world of controversy

Citizenship by investment programs come from the initiative of certain governments to encourage people with financial capability to invest in governmental bonds, local business, or real estate for the benefit of gaining citizenship. Acquiring a second passport has clear benefits for natives and residents of many countries. However, MENA region nationals have a more obvious need as the passport holders of these countries are often subject to travel restrictions, as well as limited healthcare and educational opportunities.

RIF TRUST provides A to Z services that relate to the topic of citizenship by investment with the finest lawyers and immigration experts guaranteeing a smooth and easy process, thanks to its strong relationships with the governmental bodies of the concerned countries.
