Family & Long-Term Planning

  • Coordination with investment and business priorities
  • Travel patterns and ongoing residency conditions
  • Separate professional review of tax-residency questions

Our role

Eligibility, documentation and ongoing conditions are assessed by the relevant authority. Meeting an investment or salary threshold alone does not guarantee approval. Residency does not automatically establish tax residency or confer a driving licence.

Official eligibility guidance

Requirements vary by category and may change. Confirm the current conditions before making an investment or application.
