About SHADi Associates

SHADi Associates was founded by “Mohammad Ali-Azad Samiei”, a social anthropologist and institutional analyst with over fifteen years of experience studying how states manage access through law, bureaucracy, and layered public systems. Educated in Oslo and Budapest and awarded a Fulbright scholarship for research on migration and integration, he focuses on how authority functions in practice — not just in legislation.

The company provides a comprehensive view of cross-border decision-making: legal requirements, bureaucratic procedures, market behavior, and real estate regulations. SHADi Associates investigates how countries operate once you engage with them — how laws are enforced, how markets respond, and how public institutions react.

We simplify this complexity into clear, comparable guidance so individuals, professionals, and investors can make realistic and sustainable decisions about destinations, investments, and long-term plans.

All books published by SHADi Associates — including the Country Guide series, the Quick Guide series, and the Study Guide series — are written exclusively by “Mohammad Ali-Azad Samiei”.
