What Capital Passport holds

A single, reviewable record of where the capital came from.

Advice is an opinion. A dossier is a record. Capital Passport turns a complex financial history into documentation that withstands scrutiny.

  1. i

    Lawful sources

    Employment income, business proceeds, property sales, inheritance and gifts, each recorded with the parties and documents that establish it.

  2. ii

    Fund trail

    Every movement from origin to investment, traced hop by hop, so the path of the capital can be followed without a gap.

  3. iii

    Evidence readiness

    Documents attached to the claims they support, with review flags that surface what is missing or inconsistent before counsel sees it.

  4. iv

    Programme standards

    Organised to the documentary standards of residence- and citizenship-by-investment programmes, and exportable for legal teams.

Compliance and regulatory credibility

Transparency is the differentiator.

EB-5 Reform and Integrity Act

Program structure, integrity measures and investor protections under the 2022 legislation.

USCIS oversight

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services adjudicates every EB-5 petition. Neither SMGC nor counsel decides the outcome.

At-risk capital

Qualifying capital must be genuinely at risk. We never minimise or obscure that requirement.

Programme authorities

Panama, Malta and each Canadian province set and change their own thresholds and documentary standards.

The engagement

A measured process, without promised timelines.

Confidential review

A private conversation about your objectives, programme and the shape of your capital.

Risk transparency

What we state plainly.

  • Qualifying investments carry genuine risk to capital, including loss.
  • Outcomes depend on programme authorities, statutory quotas and your own facts.
  • Thresholds, rules and processing change, sometimes without notice.
  • SMGC never promises approvals, timelines or returns.

Privacy

Discretion is the default.

Capital Passport is offered by invitation. Clients see their own matter and nothing else; advisors work within defined permissions; every document stays with the claim it supports.
