The Investment Migration Council (IMC), the worldwide association for Investor Immigration and Citizenship-by-Investment, head quartered in Geneva, has recently opened an office in Dubai, represented by Citizenship Invest and also in Hong Kong, represented by Mandeville & Associates.

These 'touch points' serve to spread the reach of the IMC and its work throughout some of the key markets in the world. They have their own committees, and contribute to elevating standards regionally. It is also expected that the offices will organize a number of briefings, provide business opportunities and act as information stations for governments, the public and media.

Bruno L'ecuyer, IMC CEO, commented that 'the opening of these representative offices is only the beginning as from here the council will expand to London and New York by the end of 2015, offering a coherent global framework of ethical and professional conduct to this relatively new industry.'

L'ecuyer further mentioned that 'both of these offices add further value and help immensely on improving public understanding and transparency of investor immigration and citizenship programs.'

Citizenship Invest is classified as one of the leading companies licenced by various governments to process citizenship with a longer-standing track record within the industry and Mandeville & Associates, with over 20 years of solid experience in the industry will further support global finances. Both will act as representatives in their respected business hub.
