Hi, I’m Matías — a Chilean and Spanish citizen living in Lisbon, where I’ve spent the past three years specializing in what I consider Europe’s top residency-by-investment program: the Portuguese Golden Visa.
As an Investment Migration Advisor and Partner at Holborn Assets, I help clients secure long-term security, mobility, and opportunity through strategic residency and citizenship-by-investment plans.
Coming from South America, I understand the drive to seek better conditions for safety and opportunity. Where you’re born shouldn’t define your future. If you’re exploring a second residency, passport, or long-term Plan B, I’m here to help — I’ve walked that path myself.
