About us

Eleven years of helping families live, invest and grow across borders.

Who we are

Smart Citizenship is an investment migration and international wealth advisory firm founded in Istanbul in 2015. We have directed more than €500 million of direct investment for over 1,000 clients from 20 countries, and we run our own teams in Istanbul, Athens, Milan and Riga.

We work with families, entrepreneurs and institutions. Some need a residence permit in four months. Others need a plan for the next twenty years. Both get the same care.

How we work

The whole cost, up front

Investment, government fees, local costs and our fee, itemised before you sign.

Our own people on the ground

Offices and licensed partners in every market we offer. The critical steps are handled by our team, in person.

The programme that fits you

We recommend what suits your income, goals and timeline, even when it is the smaller investment.

Smart Choice

Our AI-augmented decision mechanism.

Choosing between dozens of programmes and hundreds of assets is a data problem first. Smart Choice reads more than 30 signals across eight groups, including family make-up, tax residence, income sources, mobility goals, budget and timing.

It returns five routes at most, each with its cost, timeline and risks. Your advisor reviews them with you, and you decide.
