PM addresses Beirut citizenship seminar as Henley opens new office

Prime Minister Joseph Muscat will address another Henley & Partners conference in Lebanon when the citizenship planning firm opens its Lebanese on Wednesday.

Henley was granted the concession for the sale of Maltese citizenship under the Individual Investor Programme.

Muscat led a business delegation this week to Jordan, where he will also cross over to Beirut in Lebanon to open an office for Henley, in conjunction with a Global Citizenship Seminar which will cover key developments in residence and citizenship planning.

Muscat will deliver a keynote speech.

Muscat and government ministers are contractually bound by the government’s agreement with Henley, which has been tasked to sell the ‘golden passport’ at €650,000, to promote the IIP on roadshows organised by Henley.

The Beirut office will be headed up by Marc Menard, the Managing Partner of Henley & Partners Lebanon, and who previously held the position of Managing Partner of Swiss Insurance Partners (Hong Kong) Ltd, a Henley & Partners group company.

“We see an increasingly high number of second citizenship applicants from Lebanon because for a number of years the region has been grappling with issues related to political stability, security and travel restrictions,” Menard said.
