    About Step Global

    Editorial summary

    Step Global is a Dubai investment-migration consultancy covering U.S. EB-5, Portugal and Greece Golden Visas, other European residence routes, selected Caribbean citizenship programmes and the UAE Golden Visa, with related tax and wealth-structuring support. Managing Director Preeya Malik is a Florida-licensed lawyer.

    Step Global Group is a Dubai-headquartered immigration consultancy and advisory group operating through Step Global Immigration, Step Wealth and Step Sphere. It supports investment-linked residence and citizenship routes including the U.S. EB-5 programme, Portugal and Greece Golden Visas, Hungary, Latvia and Malta residence options, the UAE Golden Visa, St. Kitts and Nevis and St. Lucia citizenship programmes, and Panama. Its wider offer includes international-tax planning, wealth structuring and lifestyle support for high-net-worth clients. Canada's Start-Up Visa is paused for new applications from 1 January 2026, with a limited filing window for holders of qualifying 2025 commitment certificates. Managing Director Preeya Malik is a member of the Florida Bar (no. 75717) in good standing, and Deepanshu Choudhry is the firm's Head of Legal. Step Global is a consultancy rather than a UAE law firm, so clients should confirm which professional and entity will handle any legal work in each jurisdiction. In August 2026 the Dubai office's Google listing showed 4.8 out of 5 from 32 reviews. Programme eligibility, investment terms and professional scope should be confirmed directly before engagement.

    Frequently Asked Questions about Step Global

    Is Step Global a law firm in Dubai?

    Step Global describes itself as an immigration consultancy and advisory firm rather than a UAE law firm. Its team includes a Florida-admitted lawyer. Clients should confirm the contracting entity, assigned professional and jurisdiction for any legal advice.

    Which current investment-migration programmes does Step Global publish?

    The current official programme menu includes U.S. EB-5, Portugal, Greece, Hungary, Latvia, Malta and UAE residence routes, St. Kitts and Nevis and St. Lucia citizenship programmes, Panama, and Canada Start-Up Visa information subject to its current pause.

    Does Step Global handle Portugal Golden Visa matters?

    Yes. Portugal Golden Visa remains in the firm’s current programme directory. Eligibility, qualifying investments and timelines are controlled by current Portuguese law and authorities and should be verified for the applicant’s circumstances.

    What is the current status of Canada’s Start-Up Visa on Step Global’s site?

    Step Global's page says new applications are paused from 1 January 2026, with a limited filing window for applicants holding qualifying 2025 commitment certificates.

    Who leads Step Global?

    Preeya Malik is Managing Director; she is a member of the Florida Bar (no. 75717) in good standing. Deepanshu Choudhry is Head of Legal.

    What is Step Global's Google rating?

    In August 2026 the Dubai office's Google listing showed 4.8 from 32 reviews. Ratings can change over time.

    Does a Florida lawyer credential cover UAE legal work?

    No. A Florida admission applies to that U.S. jurisdiction and does not by itself authorize legal practice in the UAE. Clients should ask which entity and locally authorised professional is responsible for each part of an engagement.

    Can Step Global guarantee a visa, residence permit, citizenship or investment return?

    No. Government authorities decide immigration and citizenship applications, and investments carry programme- and issuer-specific risks. Step Global can advise and coordinate within its published scope, but neither the provider nor Golden Visa Lawyers can guarantee approval, timing or capital repayment.
