Our Citizenship & Residency Services

Residency & Visa Applications

Whether delivered directly by our local teams or through our network of international partners, we are able to assist private clients in navigating the often complex process of applying for temporary or permanent residency in another country, or obtaining a second citizenship as part of a family’s long-term planning.

Pre-Immigration Planning

The international tax environment is increasingly complex and relocation to another country can trigger unexpected and costly tax consequences if appropriate advice is not taken ahead of time. Our wide network of professional relationships enables us to introduce private clients to suitable advisers in any situation.

Asset Holding Structures

Many residency and citizenship schemes feature investment in real estate or other assets. Our global team is deeply experienced in the administration of companies and other structures to hold these investment assets, either on a standalone basis, or as part of a more complex multi-jurisdictional wealth planning framework.
