00:00Following the phenomenal success of our last event on higher education in August, it is
00:20an honour and pleasure to welcome you all to the inaugural Duff News Immigration and
00:26Citizenship Exhibition.
00:30As Duff News marks our first on-down event dedicated to immigration and citizenship,
00:37we hope this will be a platform to reimagine the future of human mobility and build more
00:46inclusive and resilient societies.
00:49I think it's the right time to organise an event like this where people can come in person
00:54and get the information from us, from the group of companies here.
00:59They can shop around and shop for the service.
01:04We represent five Caribbean countries.
01:09I think in a post-pandemic, after what we faced in the last two years, I think it's
01:15time for people to plan better and this event will allow them to go around and talk to experts
01:23about different programmes and the options they could have.
01:27We are very excited to join the conference and to partner with Duff News.
01:32We have done a lot of marketing initiatives with Duff News and we believe that our presence
01:38here is important for the people attending the event.
01:42People come to us because they are looking for Plan B or they look for freedom, they
01:50look for options and we try to advise them on that and to give them different options
01:56and help them decide something that is going to be good for them and for their family.
02:00We noticed that in the last couple of years, a sharp increase in interest, requests and
02:08applications for citizenship by investment, which is absolutely illogical at this particular
02:14moment, through two years that we've all been through, the difficulties, travel restrictions
02:21and other considerable changes of life that we all met and we all experienced, brought
02:30people to understanding that Plan B is something they definitely need.
02:35It's not a luxury anymore, it is a necessity.
02:38Citizenship, a new citizenship, is not a luxury anymore.
02:43There are hundreds and thousands of consultants across the UAE and customers are not sure
02:48what kind of advice they are getting, is it the right choice or not and what we'd like
02:53to do is be career consultants, give them free immigration advice, let them make a decision,
02:58see what their plans are, whether they'd like to move now or in the future and at least
03:03they know that they have a partner in the UAE where they can get free advice.
03:08The investment in such programs is these days a must.
03:11COVID-19 brought instability to the market, brought bankruptcy for companies, brought
03:17unemployment, social and financial problems in the different countries and so people have
03:24to have a backup plan, have to have solutions to have their family members, mainly sons
03:29and daughters, to be able to live, work, study in other countries and the Portuguese program,
03:37the European Union Residency Permit, is a very good solution for themselves.
