Henley & Partners operates in investment migration. Assess a proposal by distinguishing residence, citizenship and the separate investment. Not every catalogue destination is in the EU, and not every route directly grants a passport.
For a Nigerian applicant, first establish eligibility based on nationality, residence and source of funds. A group’s reputation does not remove programme restrictions or bank checks. Identify the contracting entity and specialist responsible for the destination.
Henley and Partners Nigeria: selecting the office
The official Nigeria page lists contacts in Abuja and Lagos. These listings provide a local starting point, not confirmation that every group product is available to every Nigerian applicant.
Confirm the address and appointment before visiting. The brand, local office and contracting entity can perform different functions; the proposal should identify who receives the fee and is responsible for destination-country support.
Different grounds cannot be combined into one guarantee
| Example | What needs separate verification |
|---|---|
| Malta | Repealed investment framework and the different merit grounds |
| Antigua and Barbuda | Current option, family eligibility and complete cost |
| Grenada | Citizenship programme separately from a US E-2 visa |
| Austria | Extraordinary achievements and a state decision |
| North Macedonia | A current official procedure, not merely an advertised threshold |
Community Malta Agency expressly separates merit citizenship from the repealed investment framework. It must not be presented as continued citizenship purchasing.
For Antigua and Barbuda, the CIU lists an NDF contribution starting at US$230,000 per application, apart from charges. This is neither a full price nor confirmation of a particular nationality’s eligibility.
The Austrian Foreign Ministry describes extraordinary achievements and the republic’s special interest. There is no universal amount requiring the state to grant a passport. A fixed-price and fixed-time North Macedonian proposal needs current official legal confirmation before being treated as an available programme.
Grenada and E-2: two separate decisions
Qualifying nationality can be one E-2 condition, not a US visa grant. Check the treaty list and assess the business, investment and applicant under the official procedure. It is inaccurate to say this possibility belongs to only one island state.
8 USC §1101(a)(15)(E) adds a condition for someone who acquired the relevant nationality through financial investment and has not previously received that classification: at least three continuous years of domicile in the treaty country before applying. This is not an immediate “passport to E-2” transition.
A travel-access chart and second passport do not override every current entry restriction. Each onward destination requires its own assessment and applicable exceptions.
What the engagement should cover
The assessment needs family composition, objectives, nationality, residence and source-of-wealth evidence. Then identify the programme and authorised local agent where required. Establish who provides investment or tax recommendations and whether that work is included.
Document gathering, translation, filing, further evidence, interviews and an oath are distinct actions. Representation does not mean the client never deals with a bank or authority. Personal identity checks and information may be mandatory.
Visas, residence cards and passports are issued by different authorities under their own procedures. One document does not guarantee another. Agree payment stages, certificate renewal and responses to rule changes.
Family budget and investment risk
A contribution, asset purchase, government checks and professional fees are different amounts. Clarify dependants, age thresholds, document and travel costs, the holding period and exit terms.
A professional-fee refund does not ensure preservation of the investment. Review project documents, charges, possible losses and liquidity. Our Migronis overview helps compare that scope without assuming identical programmes or prices.
Henley and Partners reviews
Check the office, service and completed stage. Satisfaction with communication does not establish returns, programme eligibility or a guaranteed decision. Reviews of different offices cannot become a personal success probability without a defensible method.
This overview provides neither a verified aggregate score nor authentication of private client files. Ask about the legal basis, contractual deliverable, costs and responsibility rather than general prominence.
Does a Nigerian office guarantee eligibility?
No. It establishes a published contact channel; eligibility depends on the programme and facts.
Does residence equal EU citizenship?
No. Temporary residence, permanent residence and nationality have different rights and grounds.
Can every personal step be eliminated?
Only tasks that permit representation can be delegated. Other requirements remain.
When comparing citizenship and residence offers, the Passportivity overview is another reference; programme conditions and agent authority need verification independently of branding.
Another service profile covers Savory & Partners. Offices, professionals and payment arrangements need documentary assessment rather than comparison of marketing language.
