Mirsatori and iWorld Warn Nigerians Against EU Citizenship Scams

At the Beyond Borders 2026 summit, Mirsatori and iWorld cautioned Nigerians against fraudulent offers for European Union citizenship, emphasizing the importance of pursuing legitimate residency pathways. Maksin Mayer Nikitin, Head of Migration Department at Mirsatori, stated that EU citizenship cannot be bought, but rather obtained through lawful residency arrangements.

He explained that Mirsatori assists clients in establishing eligibility for residency via startup programs, particularly in France and Spain, with applications evaluated by relevant authorities. Successful applicants may later qualify for citizenship through naturalization, subject to applicable laws.

Nikitin noted that France offers a pathway to citizenship after five years of residence. Arturs Plepis, General Manager of iWorld, highlighted that the firm has operated in the European migration market for 15 years, identifying France and Spain as practical residency options.

Johnson Anorch of O&J Capital mentioned that their collaboration aims to help Nigerians identify international business and relocation opportunities, enhancing trust through local presence.
