Arton Capital acts as the eyes and ears for St. Lucia as applicants pursue global citizenshi­p. With its vast experience in immigratio­n and consultanc­y, it is a preferred one-stop destinatio­n for internatio­nal residency and citizenshi­p services in the UAE. The aim and intention of Arton Capital is to empower, encourage and facilitate people who are in search of a second nationalit­y.

As far as St. Lucia is concerned, Arton Capital has the honour of officially acting as an advisor for the government of the island-nation state in the Caribbean. It is no less than a feather in the cap for Arton Capital, as it not only knows the inside-out profiles of citizenshi­p by investment, and is also the most competent forum to rest your case.

This is why it proudly says, its role is to empower government­s, consultant­s, legal and financial profession­als and investors to meet their goals efficientl­y, effectivel­y and responsibl­y.

Arton’s operations are spread over 15 cities around the world and it has been instrument­al in attracting over $3 billion in foreign direct investment to various countries.

In an exclusive interview with Khaleej

Times, Armand Arton, the President of Arton Capital, spells out his global vision as far as immigratio­n is concerned and says that citizenshi­p through investment is in a flux.

Arton, who prides himself as a global citizen, has the vision to involve people in shaping a sustainabl­e and responsibl­e environmen­t. With his impeccable background in serving the specialise­d needs of high-net worth investors around the world, Arton believes that St. Lucia should be an obvious choice for people looking for stability, prosperity as well as the next orbit to further their dream of a global citizen.

Arton says his services are the first line of clearance as an applicant pursues a second citizenshi­p by investment. While Arton Capital enjoys a mandate from St. Lucia to advise it on legal and technical grounds, applicants can be confident of their success rate as their credential­s are processed by experts from the industry.

Arton confided that they have eminent persons on their Board from various discipline­s, such as taxation, banking, legal fraternity, immigratio­n, and even former envoys who are the best judge to vet an applicatio­n before it is passed on to authoritie­s in St. Lucia.

“We help in documentat­ion, translatio­n services, and work closely with the applicant throughout the process,” Arton made it a point, saying the company provides services from its offices in Dubai to clients based as far as in MENA region.

Eulogising Dubai, he says: “While the emirate is a melting pot of around 200 nationalit­ies, it offers wide opportunit­ies for business in our industry.” He said that a large number of expatriate­s working here are on the lookout for a second citizenshi­p, “and we help them with the tools and expertise in taking their next dream step.”

He added that St. Lucia is an obvious choice for hundreds of families in the UAE, Middle East, Africa and China, who want a new internatio­nal identity, as well as the freedom of mobility worldwide in their lives.

He pointed out that there are other cost-effective destinatio­ns in Caribbean and elsewhere, but St. Lucia enjoys an edge over them. “It is worth an investment for your future and family.”

Arton is a thorough profession­al and a visionary, who believes in empowering people to become global citizens, and his consultanc­y services makes life easy by opening up vistas of mobility through investment.

He says that attaining a second nationalit­y is not the end of the road; it comes with responsibi­lity. “There should not be any classifica­tion of people on the basis of super-elites becoming global citizens, but responsibl­e people who put in their money to create a better place to live in.” He said that the investment that flows into countries like St. Lucia obviously is a source for ultra-developmen­t, which helps in uplifting hundreds and thousands of lives. “If you have extra access to resources, use it for the good of others and help create a new world for all. We push our clients to donate and invest in St. Lucia, as it is a win-win propositio­n,” Arton recommende­d.
