The eighth edition of the International Real Estate & Investment Show (IREIS 2016), the only dedicated real estate event in Abu Dhabi that targets investors and consumers rather than trade visitors, will feature a dedicated pavilion to help expatriates aspiring for dual citizenship opportunities gain the right advice and information from leading immigration experts.

 

Towards this end, IREIS 2016, set to run from 27 - 29 October, 2016 at the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre (ADNEC), will include a new segment themed  ‘Citizenship by Investment’, where specialists from leading immigration consultancies will offer professional guidance and consultancy for those looking to buy properties abroad.

 

Highly experienced immigration consultants will assist dual citizenship aspirants in the complex decision-making, documentation and application process for a second citizenship and residency option from across different countries including Australia, Canada, Cyprus, the Caribbean, Denmark, Germany, Hong Kong, South Africa, Spain, Singapore, Malaysia, Panama, Portugal, Brazil, New Zealand, Thailand, the USA and the UK, among others.

 

Dony Cyril, Exhibitions Director at DOME Exhibitions, organisers of IREIS 2016, said: “We have designed the ‘Citizenship by Investment’ programme as part of our priority to diversify the agenda of IREIS 2016 and enhance the visitor experience. Through meeting immigration consultants and attending tailored investor immigration programmes, visitors will gain a wide perspective of the dual citizenship and visa-free travel opportunities available within major destination countries for expatriates across the globe. 

 

“At IREIS 2016, we are committed to help visitors with the key decision making skills through providing them with first-hand knowledge about latest trends in the industry to help them maximise their returns on investment.” 

 

The upcoming edition of the International Real Estate & Investment Show is expected to draw the participation of more than 125 exhibitors from 25 countries, as well as over 11,000 regular, private and institutional investors, end-users, developers, and real estate brokers.

 

As part of the event agenda, IREIS 2016 will host an International Developer Agent Meet, an intensive day of carefully coordinated one-to-one meetings and informal networking sessions to showcase international property projects and facilitate partnerships between foreign property suppliers and local agents in the Middle East market. IREIS 2016 will additionally feature country-specific presentations, business networking and investor meetings. The event will also feature dedicated country pavilions of Spain, Turkey, Egypt, Pakistan, India and the Philippines.

 

Drawing the participation of 84 exhibitors from 21 countries and 7,327 investors from 71 nationalities, IREIS 2015 created sales volumes of over US$125 million.
