I did. Nothing amazing to say about them. I was interested in getting a diplomatic passport, they basically turned me down. I was ready to pay them and they flat out refused to take me as a client. No further comments on them.

No disrespect @maria_gonzalez but this just gives them more credit. I understand why you may be upset but a company that rather not take your money because of any reason just earns more respect in my eyes. Especially in today's world where left and right people (or companies for that matter) promise you the world, take your money and don't deliver, they actually care enough about their reputation to not to get into that.

Just like with any service in the diplomatic field I would thread with caution. There are so many scams it is unreal. Any company that claims to sell you a diplomatic passport, close the page immediately. Any company that claims they have connections that will get you a diplomatic passport, close the page immediately. I personally have never heard of this business but what they do seem interesting. It is definitely a different approach. It may work, may not. If they don't take just anyone, that is definitely a good sign. Scammers don't care where the money comes from as long as they get it. I think it is important before you give them any money is to:
- understand what they offer exactly
- what they claim to offer and what they don't
- know where your money is going and for what purpose and what you get for it
- check to make sure that the people behind it are legitimate

I concur with @jeremy_k 's perspective that selecting a reputable service begins with asking the right questions. Upon researching the company, my findings were predominantly positive. Presenting myself as a prospective client unfamiliar with the subject, the responses I received appeared logical. The company collaborates with a lawyer and a dedicated consultant, both of whom I verified on LinkedIn and found to be credible. The senior consultant I communicated with boasts an extensive network of diplomatic connections and a vast experience in the field of asset protection. I was impressed by the professionalism and clarity of the proposal provided, outlining their services comprehensively without being overly assertive in their approach. Their keen interest in understanding my background to assess my suitability for achieving my objectives was genuine and reassuring. They emphasized the importance of maintaining their reputation by ensuring they only refer individuals to their diplomatic contacts who meet their stringent criteria. While I cannot officially endorse this business, my detailed investigation suggests it stands out as a legitimate entity in the diplomatic field, offering a potentially viable option for those in need. Just sharing my thoughts, don't choose this business based on my opinion, but I stand by what I wrote here.

It surprises me why individuals become aggrieved when a business opts not to engage with them. This decision is seldom rooted in discrimination; rather, it is an acknowledgment of the nature of these enterprises; predominantly low volume, high ticket operations, which necessitate a discerning approach in choosing their clientele. It baffles me why there is discontent when such entities decide against utilizing one's resources if they deem the fit unsuitable. To be more blunt "Accept it and move on Maria!" ... Clearly it wasn't meant to happen for you.

It is funny how people still think in 2024 that they will just give money to a company and the company will make them a diplomat without any due diligence or vetting process. Maria should be happy that the company actually cared and they didn't just take her money LOL

Agree with you there mambo! If Maria has an issue with this then that's not really diplomatic on her end LOL.

On another note I know someone personally (in real life) who is a LinkedIn connection of their senior consultant. So as far as I am concerned, they seem legitimate and they seem to be familiar within diplomatic circles.

Dear Maria!

We sincerely apologize for not being able to provide you with the service you desired. We receive approximately 40 inquiries for diplomatic appointments a month and as part of our agreement with the professionals within our network, we are obligated to only take on clients who are supposedly a good fit for the extremely strict set of requirements that would have the remote potential to have the foundation for a successful application. Our denial of service does not in any way mean that you are not an accomplished and highly-regarded individual. The diplomatic world works differently where money and/or career don't necessarily constitute an approved pathway to diplomatic appointments. We have a thorough understanding of what foreign governments wish to see when someone makes an application and we have to be rigorous in our vetting process to focus on providing a quality service for a select few.

We truly appreciate you giving us a try and we wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors.

I only registered to submit a review of them and I found this after a Google search because I promised to tell others about my experience:

"Probably the only legitimate service out there for diplomatic appointments. The company prepares wealthy individuals for a chance to obtain diplomatic passports. They analyze if your client profile is up to par. After KYC, they do a one-on-one consultation with you, send you the contract, and after payment, they work with you.It was a very detailed process. Without getting into much detail, they connect you with lawyers and real-life diplomats who consult you, prepare you, investigate, and research jurisdictions that fit your client profile. They put together a complete package for the MoFAs and provide the filing through the foreign counsel. There are a lot of nuances that can make or break your application, and they seemed knowledgeable about the process. It is a lengthy and very detailed process, but it was worth it.I did have success in my own way. I cannot discuss exactly how my work with them was successful, but it was. I also learned a lot in the process, and it allowed me to broaden my network substantially.I am very grateful to Mr. Kovacs and the lawyers at the William Blackstone Internacional team.Thank you!"
 
Although I am new here and my comment may not matter all that much I actually know a latin american law firm that works with them so they must be a legitimate company.
 
I wrote a review of them but I share it with all of you here to...
Dealing with William Blackstone was not smooth but successful. The strategy they create is usually meant to provide lawful liability shielding for the TOP 1%, or at the very least you must have the corresponding assets to make it worth your investment. They definitely had something new to offer to our existing asset protection structure that was already in place. This represented a strategy that worked with the existing plan we had in place with my lawyer to make it even better layered. This service does not come cheap, but if you have the assets you will be glad you did it. It takes a long time, their lawyers are very involved, but the results speak for themselves.

NOTE: I am NOT the client, I am the client's assistant but I was authorized to submit this review on his behalf.
 
I was curious so I tested them and just like with Maria, they turned me down. Clearly the bar is higher than I Thought.
 
Excuse my French, but they are total idiots. I have a PhD, internationally known, published 13 successful books, serious net worth and apparently I just did not meet the threshold. Of course that's not what they wrote exactly but that was their point. If I don't qualify, then I really don't know who does. Do they not want anyone's money?? It's not like I asked them for any guarantees of outcome.
