Philippe Amarante

Spear's Review

Describing himself as a strategic thinker, Philippe Amarante is managing partner at Henley & Partners, the leading global citizenship by investment company, and head of the busy Dubai office.

Noting that geopolitical factors are adding to global instability, as is uncertainty over European nationality schemes, Amarante sees demand surging for citizenship in the countries his team covers, including the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Pakistan. Golden visas in Bahrain and Oman are also generating a lot of interest, he says.

Amarante is happy to advise high net worth international business people on routes into the gulf region, as well as citizens of middle eastern countries looking to expand their horizons.
