We advise on residency‑by‑investment and citizenship programmes, assist with due‑diligence on economic, tax and regulatory implications, and coordinate visa and permit applications. Our services include structuring investments, handling compliance with anti‑money‑laundering rules, and liaising with trusted advisers for tax, finance and lifestyle planning
We guide clients through programmes such as Portugal’s Golden Visa, Greece’s residency permits, Caribbean citizenship options and UAE long‑term residency schemes. Our lawyers help assess eligibility, including minimum investment thresholds, source‑of‑fund requirements and physical residence obligations. We conduct due diligence on investment opportunities, property purchases and business ventures to ensure that they meet programme criteria and mitigate reputational risk. We prepare and submit visa applications, residency permits and documentation for family members, ensuring that each application is complete and compliant. Our service extends to advising on tax residence, double‑taxation treaties and wealth‑planning structures to optimise global tax efficiency. We work closely with family offices, financial planners and real‑estate consultants to integrate legal, financial and lifestyle considerations. Post‑relocation, we assist with renewal applications, citizenship planning, school admissions and opening bank accounts. We also advise businesses on relocating key personnel, including obtaining work permits, sponsor licences and compliance with local labour laws.
Clients gain access to new markets, education and lifestyle opportunities while safeguarding assets. Our tailored service minimises bureaucratic hurdles and addresses potential political and reputational risks.
By understanding the requirements and timelines of each programme, we help clients plan confidently and avoid costly delays or rejections. Our holistic approach ensures that investments align with long‑term financial goals, family succession planning and risk management. Access to residency or citizenship in stable jurisdictions can enhance personal security, enable visa‑free travel and provide better access to healthcare and education. We also help clients maintain privacy and comply with anti‑money‑laundering laws, which is increasingly important for high‑net‑worth individuals and politically exposed persons. For businesses relocating employees, our guidance reduces the administrative burden on HR teams, ensures that staff can start work legally and on time, and supports workforce mobility. In sum, we turn complex relocation processes into smooth transitions.
