A personal note
Words from our CEO
As a Frenchman born and raised in Paris, educated in the USA, and having lived in diverse regions around the globe - USA, Hungary, Hong Kong, mainland China, Portugal and the UAE - I've encountered the world's beauty as well as its challenges. This journey has instilled in me a profound realization: in today's increasingly unpredictable world, having options is not merely a luxury, it's a necessity.
These experiences inspired me to establish The Open World. Our mission is to guide individuals and families through these complexities by offering tailored solutions—whether it's acquiring a second citizenship, securing permanent residency, or building a resilient global presence. We believe no one should feel trapped by circumstances beyond their control.

The Open World helped me bridge the gap between my life in China and my aspirations for a future in Europe. Their in-depth knowledge of Portugal's Golden Visa program was crucial.

As an Iranian entrepreneur, I felt limited in my business growth. The Open World opened my eyes to the possibilities of Greek citizenship. Their team strategically navigated the investment route, ensuring my business plan aligned with Greece's economic needs. Now, I have a thriving company in Athens, and my Greek citizenship grants me visa-free travel throughout the EU. The Open World's comprehensive guidance was instrumental in my success, and I highly recommend them to anyone seeking a path to European citizenship.

Life in Russia had become difficult for our family. We craved a safe and secure environment for our children, Olga and Ivan. The Open World identified Lithuania's Descent Route as the perfect fit for us, thanks to my grandfather's Lithuanian heritage. The process was smooth and efficient, and The Open World's team was there every step of the way. Now, we're happily settled in Vilnius, surrounded by warm and welcoming people. The Open World helped us reconnect with our roots and build a brighter future for our family.

My name is Dimitri Ivanov, and I always dreamed of living by the sea with my family. The Open World made that dream a reality. They expertly guided us through the Talent Route for Croatia, showcasing my engineering skills and highlighting their value to the Croatian economy. Now, my wife Natasha, our children Anya and Peter, and I are all proud Croatian citizens. We have a beautiful new home in Split, and the kids are thriving in their new school. The Open World's support was invaluable, and we're so grateful for their expertise.
