Celebrating excellence in citizenship services

Holborn Pass received the Excellence in Citizenship Services award, reflecting its leadership in the competitive citizenship market.

This award demonstrates the company’s dedication to providing expert guidance and innovative solutions for individuals and families seeking better global mobility through citizenship and residency programmes.

It showcases Holborn Pass’s ability to navigate complex legal systems and deliver tailored solutions to meet the needs of its diverse clients.

A rising star: Pablo Ostrick

The night also celebrated Pablo Ostrick, Managing Director of Holborn Pass, who won the Emerging Talent of the Year award.

Ostrick’s creative approach and strategic leadership have greatly impacted the global investment visa market, especially with the Portugal Golden Visa (PGV).

Under his leadership, Holborn Pass has become one of the top three agents worldwide in citizenship and residency services, handling over 10% of all global PGV applications in 2022.

“Our success comes from our commitment to innovation and finding new ways to help our clients achieve their goals. I’m honoured to be recognised for this,” said Ostrick.

He explains that what makes Holborn Pass “different is that we prioritise finding the best-in-class products for our clients at the best price. We are focused on finding good quality investments to protect and grow our client’s capital.”

His recognition reflects not just his personal contributions but also the hard work of his dedicated team at Holborn Pass.

Since the company was founded in 2020, Ostrick has quickly risen from a Senior Associate to Managing Director. He now leads a team of over 50 specialists in citizenship and residency by investment.

A commitment to excellence

The awards received at the II Awards demonstrate Holborn Pass’s strong commitment to delivering exceptional client service and innovative citizenship solutions.

The company’s continued growth in a rapidly changing market solidifies its position as a leader in the industry.

Holborn Pass stands out for its unique combination of wealth management and citizenship services, allowing it to provide comprehensive financial solutions for high-net-worth individuals (HNWIs) and ultra-high-net-worth individuals (UHNWIs).

Under Ostrick’s leadership, Holborn Pass, now in its third year of operations, has managed over $450 million in property investments and assisted more than 1,000 families from over 40 nationalities in obtaining second residency and citizenship.

This global reach highlights the firm’s dedication to helping clients navigate the complex world of citizenship and residency programmes, opening up greater mobility and opportunities worldwide.

Looking ahead: a bright future

Reflecting on the company’s success, Simon Parker, COO of Holborn Assets, who won the Personality of the Year award, remarked, “We’ve worked hard, taken risks, and stayed true to our values, and it’s amazing to see that recognised. This inspires us to keep moving forward, growing, and setting the bar for service levels for our clients.”

He continued: “Holborn Pass, our citizenship and residency division, has been instrumental in this growth, and its success is a reflection of our commitment to excellence across all parts of our business.”
