Speaking on the announcement, Mikel said: “RIF Trust is one of the most reputable Residencies and Citizenship by Investment advisory firms in the world, and I am thrilled to join the RIF Trust family.
One thing I enjoy most as a dual citizen is a mobility to travel anywhere for both my work and holidays.
“I am excited to partner with RIF Trust following my retirement from football and I can’t wait to connect with passionate individuals and entrepreneurs who are seeking greater travel mobility and investment opportunities through second citizenship or EU residency with RIF Trust,” Mikel stated.
