Ovata Group helps families and entrepreneurs secure residence and citizenship through trusted programmes worldwide. We act as a single point of advice across jurisdictions, working with a network of international channel partners and trusted local counsel to match each principal to the programme that fits.
A senior advisory practice built for the small number of decisions that genuinely matter.
A representative selection of the jurisdictions Ovata currently maintains active capability in. Every recommendation is matched to the principal's circumstances rather than to a programme league table.

Confidential, complimentary, no obligation. We listen first.
A written assessment matching programmes to family circumstances, capital and timeline.
Documentation, government liaison, approval, and ongoing stewardship after arrival.
We do not run volume. Every mandate is led by a principal and supported by a team picked for that mandate. The result is advice you can act on, on a timeline you can defend, with a counterparty you can speak with directly.
We are not aligned to any developer, fund or government. Our recommendation is the one that fits your family and your capital — nothing else.
Tax, trust, immigration, regulatory and reputational dimensions are considered together, with named counsel in each relevant jurisdiction.
A network of international channel partners and trusted local counsel — so that wherever your family wants to go, we have a relationship on the ground.
Every engagement has a single point of accountability. When you call, you reach the person who knows your file.
"Residence and citizenship are not products to be transacted. They are decisions that touch family, capital, succession and identity — and they deserve to be advised on as such."
We publish sparingly — only when we have something defensible to say.
