Dubai-based investment-migration and international-tax advisory group supporting high-net-worth individuals and families across U.S., European, Caribbean and UAE residence and citizenship programmes.
Step Global is best treated as a specialist Dubai consultancy rather than a UAE law firm. Its current programme menu centres on 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 independently verified as a Florida lawyer in good standing, but her U.S. admission does not extend to UAE legal practice or turn the group itself into a regulated law firm.
Step Global Group is a Dubai-headquartered immigration consultancy and advisory group operating through Step Global Immigration, Step Wealth and Step Sphere. It publishes support for 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 not presented as generally open: Step Global’s current page says new applications are paused from 1 January 2026, with a limited filing deadline for holders of qualifying 2025 commitment certificates. The directory distinguishes consultancy and coordination from jurisdiction-specific legal representation. Managing Director Preeya Malik is independently listed by the Florida Bar as member 75717, in good standing and eligible to practise in Florida; the exact current result publishes the same Step Global email address. No UAE law-firm licence was captured, and Preeya’s Florida admission does not authorize UAE legal practice or make Step Global itself a Florida law firm. Deepanshu Choudhry is described by the firm as Head of Legal and a licensed lawyer, but no licensing jurisdiction or exact regulator match was established, so he remains a firm-level professional rather than a verified lawyer profile. The exact Dubai Google listing showed 4.8 out of 5 from 32 reviews on 24 August 2026. No exact-domain Trustpilot profile for stepglobalgroup.com was found. Programme eligibility, availability, investment terms and professional scope should be reconfirmed directly before engagement. No approval, timing, investment-return or capital-repayment guarantee is endorsed by this directory.

Preeya Malik is Managing Director of Step Global Group. The Florida Bar lists her as member 75717, Member in Good Standing, Eligible to Practice Law in Florida, Admitted 03/03/2010. That credential is Florida-only — not a DC Bar number and does not authorize UAE legal practice.

Step Global describes itself as an immigration consultancy and advisory firm. It is led by internationally qualified professionals, including a Florida-admitted lawyer, but this review did not capture a UAE law-firm licence.

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.
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.
Step Global’s current page says new applications are paused from 1 January 2026 and describes a limited filing deadline for applicants holding qualifying 2025 commitment certificates. The directory does not present the route as generally open.
Preeya Malik is the current Managing Director. On 24 August 2026, the Florida Bar listed her as member 75717, in good standing and eligible to practise in Florida. Deepanshu Choudhry is Head of Legal, but his licensing jurisdiction was not independently established.
On 24 August 2026, the exact Dubai Google listing showed 4.8 from 32 reviews. No exact-domain Trustpilot profile was found. External-platform ratings can change after the stated date.
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.
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.
