With the aim of providing residency and citizenship by investment support to HNWIs in Morocco, RIF Trust, part of the Latitude Group, has followed its recent expansion into China with the opening of an office in Morocco

This expansion, which is in line with RIF Trust’s strategic global expansion plans, is a partnership with SLS Groupe, a global company with 30+ years of legal expertise in citizenship by investment.

Supported by RIF Trust’s international expertise in advising HNWIs seeking second passport or EU residency solutions throughout Morocco and the wider North African market, a team of local consultants at SLS Group will run the new office in Morocco.

Located in Casablanca, the economic capital, this new office will provide premium assistance for clients seeking visa-free travel to more than 140 countries, including the UK and EU Schengen Area, through second citizenship or residency by investment.

North African HNWIs will be supported in seeking residency or citizenship by investment to a number of countries including Antigua & Barbuda, Dominica, Grenada, St Kitts & Nevis, St Lucia, Vanuatu, Portugal and Malta.

Mimoun Assraoui, RIF Trust’s CEO and Vice Chairman of Latitude Group said, “as a proud Moroccan citizen, I am pleased to announce RIF Trust’s expansion in Morocco. This agreement with the SLS Groupe is crucial to serve the increasing demand for EU residency and second citizenship in Morocco and North Africa”.

He adds: “Morocco has a population of 36 million citizens and boasts 4,800 millionaires – half of which resides in Casablanca. It is also one of the key trade routes from Europe to Africa. Our new office will help Moroccan high-net-worth-individuals and their families become global citizens and expand their business and lifestyle far beyond their borders.”
