EC Holdings
Leader in Global Citizenship & Residency Solutions
Helping HNWIs unlock borderless freedom and financial optimization through elite residency & citizenship pathways.
EC Holdings is a premier global investment immigration firm licensed to facilitate applications for residency and citizenship by investment across various jurisdictions. This esteemed company is a collective of seasoned industry experts, each holding a license in their respective home countries or leading marketing operations in regions with significant numbers of affluent outbound migrants, such as China, Vietnam, and the UAE.
Since its inception in 2022, EC Holdings has been committed to improving the global mobility of investor migrants. The firm provides robust Plan B options for those seeking alternative residency and citizenship opportunities, enabling clients to effectively structure and safeguard their family wealth and private assets within tax-advantageous jurisdictions.
EC Holdings caters to the specific needs of High-Net-Worth Individuals (HNWIs) by offering residency and citizenship options in jurisdictions that meet two crucial criteria: no taxation on foreign income or complete absence of taxation and minimal or no physical presence requirements to maintain residency or citizenship. This strategic focus aligns with the preferences of HNWIs seeking to optimize their fiscal obligations and maintain flexibility in their global mobility.
As a result, EC Holdings strategically does not provide services in traditional immigration destinations like the USA, Canada, and Australia. These countries impose global taxation on residents and require substantial physical presence, making them more suitable for upper-middle-class individuals rather than HNWI entrepreneurs. These entrepreneurs often need to remain operationally active in their home countries and seek immigration solutions that allow them to manage their global business interests without stringent residency constraints.
High success rates in citizenship and residency applications
One of the core achievements of EC Holdings is its ability to maintain high success rates in visa and residency applications. The firm’s expertise in handling complex cases, combined with its rigorous compliance and due diligence processes, ensures that client applications are processed with the highest standards of accuracy and professionalism.
Moreover, EC Holdings has developed strong relationships with governments and partner agencies worldwide. These partnerships facilitate smoother and faster application processing, providing a competitive edge that is highly valued in the immigration consultancy market.
- Over 300+ successful approvals
- Active partnerships with 10+ governments
- Trusted by global families, executives & entrepreneurs
Worldwide influence and foundational expertise at EC Holdings
EC Holdings, a prominent global investment immigration firm, was founded by three distinguished professionals from different continents, bringing diverse expertise and strategic insights into the firm’s operations.
Mr. Kevin Hosam of Antigua and Barbuda
A seasoned real estate developer, Mr. Hosam became an instrumental figure in the Caribbean immigration landscape shortly after Antigua and Barbuda initiated its Citizenship by Investment (CBI) program. As an authorized representative and a licensed agent, he was pivotal in promoting the program globally through his company, Exclusive Concierge, which later evolved into EC Holdings.
Mr. Martin St.-Hilaire of Vanuatu
Born and raised in Canada and a naturalized citizen of Vanuatu, Mr. St.-Hilaire brought his expertise in accounting, banking, and financial services to the firm. Before EC Holdings was established, he promoted Vanuatu’s Development Support Program through his corporate services firm, AJC Vanuatu. His roles also include serving as the Honorary Consul of Monaco in Vanuatu and a member of the Vanuatu Financial Services Commission.
The Hon. Philippe A. May of Singapore
With a rich background in private banking that began in Switzerland and led him to Singapore, Mr. May was the Managing Director of another global investment migration firm before co-founding EC Holdings. His strategic foresight led to the establishment of the firm’s head office in Singapore, capitalizing on its status as a financial hub with a robust regulatory and legal framework.
With a network of licensed agents, legal professionals, and government partners, EC Holdings ensures:
