Due diligence helps authorities assess identity, source of wealth, source of funds, reputation, sanctions exposure, litigation, and immigration history. It is a substantive review, not a formality that can be bypassed by paying a higher fee.
Typical evidence
Applicants may need identity records, police certificates, tax information, bank statements, audited accounts, corporate records, employment evidence, and explanations for unusual transactions. Names, dates, addresses, and ownership figures should be consistent across documents.
Prepare a clear narrative
Explain how wealth was created, accumulated, held, and transferred. Never conceal adverse information. A responsible adviser identifies gaps early and preserves an audit trail.
No adviser can guarantee approval. Requirements vary by programme and applicant profile.
