Once a month, IMI Pros and Sovereigns get the editor live and ask whatever they want. Breaking news, fresh data, a program change nobody has explained yet, or a question that has been nagging for weeks. Bring the hard ones.
On the Table in Vol. 3
Vol. 3, which we will hold on July 14th, puts the latest IMI Private Briefing and the Q1 2026 processing-time data on the table, though the floor stays open to anything. Described broadly, so nothing leaks before the call:
- Two countries are quietly designing new citizenship-by-investment (CBI) programs, one of them alongside a golden visa, with advisers already in advanced talks.
- One nation is weighing a new residence program with a possible path to citizenship, while another has dropped its CBI plans for good.
- Beyond the lawsuit already making headlines, investors in a major European golden visa program are opening a new front.
- A firm is selling citizenship in an EU member state that operates no such program, for roughly half a million euros.
- A Caribbean program is reportedly preparing to raise fees and move ahead of the region’s new regulator.
- At a newer program, some cases are reportedly stretching toward a year, for reasons that have nothing to do with due diligence.
- A well-established firm in the market is quietly seeking a merger or partner to fund its global expansion.
And the processing-time question everyone asks: Which programs got faster this quarter, which fell behind, and how wide the gap between them has grown.
