What Capital Passport holds
Advice is an opinion. A dossier is a record. Capital Passport turns a complex financial history into documentation that withstands scrutiny.
Employment income, business proceeds, property sales, inheritance and gifts, each recorded with the parties and documents that establish it.
Every movement from origin to investment, traced hop by hop, so the path of the capital can be followed without a gap.
Documents attached to the claims they support, with review flags that surface what is missing or inconsistent before counsel sees it.
Organised to the documentary standards of residence- and citizenship-by-investment programmes, and exportable for legal teams.
Illustrative matter · sample data
Ananya R., Hyderabad. EB-5 investment into a Targeted Employment Area project.
US$0
Gift: the donor’s own source of funds is not yet documented.
Closes with the parent’s bank statements showing where the gifted funds came from.
The four stages of a fund trail
Capital Passport documents each stage. It does not move funds, and it does not give investment advice.
Stage I
Where the capital was earned or received, and the records that show it.
Stage II
Where the funds were gathered and held before they moved.
Stage III
How the capital crossed borders, and through which institutions.
Stage IV
Where the funds were deployed into the qualifying programme.
Compliance and regulatory credibility
Program structure, integrity measures and investor protections under the 2022 legislation.
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services adjudicates every EB-5 petition. Neither SMGC nor counsel decides the outcome.
Qualifying capital must be genuinely at risk. We never minimise or obscure that requirement.
Panama, Malta and each Canadian province set and change their own thresholds and documentary standards.
The engagement
A private conversation about your objectives, programme and the shape of your capital.
For clients
A private portal shows where your file stands: the capital your programme requires, the funds documented so far, evidence progress, and anything your advisor has asked for. Responding to a request is a single upload.
Qualification
We pursue alignment, not volume. Engagements begin only after a capital qualification assessment.
From US$150,000 for treaty and provincial routes; US$300,000 for Panama; US$800,000 and above for EB-5.
Capital whose origin can be evidenced, including across several countries and institutions.
An intention to proceed with qualified counsel, and the time to assemble evidence properly.
Risk transparency
Privacy
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.
Documentation mandates from US$2,500. Engagements are scoped after a confidential review and quoted to the complexity of your fund sources.

Capital Passport is available to SMGC clients as part of an advisory engagement.
