As Globevisa Group enters its 23rd year, its co-founder and CEO, Henry Fan, stands at the forefront of one of the most ambitious transformations in the history of the residency- and citizenship-by-investment (RCBI) industry.
With the unveiling of #Vision2045 and the recent Globevisa Global Citizen Conference (GGCC 2025), held in Singapore from October 22–24, Henry is not just celebrating a corporate milestone.
He is articulating a blueprint for what global mobility and borderless citizenship could look like over the next two decades.
A Journey That Redefined an Industry
Henry’s story mirrors the evolution of the RCBI sector itself.
Graduated in 1998, he began his career humbly as a document assistant in a small Beijing immigration office. In 2002, seeing gaps in transparency and service quality, he and Melvin Sun co-founded Globevisa with the mission to build an immigration advisory that clients could trust.
His founding principle was simple but radical for the time: let information and professionalism lead, not sales tactics.
Under Henry’s leadership, Globevisa grew from a two-person start-up into one of the world’s largest RCBI service groups. With dozens of offices across Asia, Europe, North America, and the Middle East, Globevisa today serves clients from more than 109 nationalities and provides hundreds of immigration and investment migration programs worldwide.
The company’s success rests on Henry’s “supermarket model”. It offers a comprehensive portfolio of solutions so every client can find an option tailored to their lifestyle, family, and financial goals.
But beyond numbers and reach, what distinguishes Henry is his vision. He never saw Globevisa merely as a consultancy; he saw it as a platform for global citizenship empowerment, a bridge connecting investors, governments, and innovators in pursuit of greater global mobility and opportunity.
#Vision2045: 20 Years into the Future
In August 2025, Globevisa officially launched #Vision2045, a strategic roadmap charting the company’s direction over the next two decades. The initiative’s ambition is nothing short of transformative: to serve over one million clients across 200 countries and territories, and to incubate thousands of innovations in the fields of identity technology, sustainable migration, and digital citizenship.
For Henry, #Vision2045 represents more than business expansion. It is a philosophical commitment to redefining global migration for the digital age.
“Citizenship is evolving,” he explained during the campaign launch. “It is no longer just about passports; it’s about mobility, identity, and belonging in a connected world.”
The plan rests on three pillars:
- Global Reach and Accessibility. To extend Globevisa’s service footprint into emerging markets where demand for migration and investment pathways is rising.
- Innovation and Technology. To integrate artificial intelligence and digital identity systems into client service, compliance, and program management.
- Partnership and Sustainability. To collaborate with governments, developers, and institutions to design migration solutions that create shared value.
This forward-looking mindset reflects Henry’s broader belief that global mobility must be inclusive, tech-enabled, and transparent. To make that vision tangible, he established and took charge of the Globevisa AI Empowerment Center, ensuring that automation and smart tools elevate service efficiency and compliance quality across the organization.
The Globevisa Global Citizen Conference 2025: A Platform for the Future
The Globevisa Global Citizen Conference (GGCC 2025) marked another strategic milestone for the company and for Henry’s leadership.
Held at Singapore’s Resorts World Sentosa from October 22–24, the event convened hundreds of RCBI professionals, government representatives, and global investors under one roof. Designed as the premier international platform for discussing next-generation mobility, GGCC blended thought leadership with tangible collaboration opportunities.
Henry envisioned the conference as a “living embodiment” of #Vision2045, a meeting ground where industry and innovation converge. Sessions explored topics such as digital citizenship frameworks, ESG-linked investment migration, AI in compliance, and new opportunities in emerging jurisdictions.
The conference offered attendees a front-row seat to the strategic direction Globevisa is taking under Henry’s guidance.
“GGCC is not just an event,” Henry explained. “It is a statement that global citizenship deserves a stage where ideas, technology, and integrity meet. We want our partners and clients to see where the future is headed and to be part of building it with us.”
Who Attended and Why It Mattered
The Global Citizen Conference was curated for a diverse but interconnected audience:
High-Net-Worth Individuals and Families seeking residence, citizenship, or diversification options gained direct insights into how Globevisa’s multi-program ecosystem can align with their mobility goals.
Developers, Law Firms, and Financial Institutions discovered partnership opportunities within Globevisa’s expanding global network and #Vision2045 initiatives.
Government Stakeholders explored public-private collaboration models in investment migration, compliance enhancement, and sustainable program design.
Industry Professionals and Advisors benefited from thought leadership sessions that forecast regulatory shifts, emerging program trends, and the rise of AI-driven due diligence.
By convening these audiences, Henry transformed the conversation around RCBI, from one focused purely on transactional services to one centered on innovation, ethics, and sustainable global citizenship.
Leadership Rooted in Purpose
Henry’s leadership philosophy remains grounded in meritocracy, systems, and accountability. Within Globevisa, he has implemented a transparent management model in which decision-making is data-driven and performance-based.
This structure, he believes, is the secret to sustaining both innovation and integrity as the company scales globally.
Asked what continues to motivate him after 23 years at the helm, Henry’s answer is characteristically pragmatic: “Every passport, every visa, every successful relocation represents a dream fulfilled. If we can multiply that a million times by 2045, responsibly, ethically, and intelligently, then we will have done something meaningful for the world.”
The Future is Here
As Globevisa celebrates its 23rd anniversary, Henry’s dual focus on innovation and inclusion defines the firm’s next chapter. #Vision2045 is not just a corporate roadmap; it is a manifesto for an industry in transition.
With the Global Citizen Conference having brought together thought leaders from across continents, Henry’s message is clear: the future of global mobility will belong to those who think beyond borders and build with purpose.
