Identifying “red flags” when researching an immigration company’s website
 

1. Accessibility of information

While immigration companies can certainly be found by word of mouth, technology plays an increasingly large part in day-to-day life all over the world. Just about anything can be found on the internet, and immigration websites are no exception. Established and successful immigration companies will take pride in their reputation, and this will be evident on a website. Information should be straight-forward and easy to find; a potential client can quickly lose interest when he or she has to navigate through multiple pages of content irrelevant to their reason for visiting a website.
 

2. Quality is key to success

Presentation, or quality of the website, is also a factor to consider. Successful immigration, residency and second passport by Investment companies and firms put time and effort in providing visitors with the best possible experience: a website’s photos, language, and layout will be of high-quality and professional. If a website consistently contains broken links, blank pages, low-quality images, and grammatical errors, potential clients should immediately consider this a red flag to be aware of.
 

3. Automatic guarantees

As discussed in our previous blog, immigration, residency and second passport by Investment company that “guarantees” successful immigration is an automatic red flag. Successful residency and second passport by Investmentapplication is determined by many factors, not just the reputation, efficiency, and professionalism of a company. First, an applicant must be able to provide legitimate and comprehensive documentation required by the program of interest. Second, applications are reviewed and processed by a country’s immigration department and government, usually federal and local levels or Citizenship by Investment Unit (CIU). Bottom line, no immigration company can control the outcome of an immigration, residency or second passport application. For a website to guarantee successful immigration up-front is an erroneous claim that potential clients should be wary of.
 

4. Deals “too good to be true”

If an immigration, residency or second passport by investment website offers visitors costs that seem too good to be true, they likely are. Immigration, residency, second passport second citizenship by investment companies target high net worth and ultra-high net worth individuals for a reason, and no Residency or Citizenship by Investment Program offers a “bargain deal” below one hundred thousand in international currency. It is important to note that government websites of countries offering citizenship or permanent residency through investment will list program costs and application requirements, so an immigration company’s information should reflect official and up-to-date government standards.
