Leading Residence by Investment Programs

Individuals of talent and means need not limit their lives and business interests to one country. Residence by investment programs, also known as golden visa programs, provide high-net-worth individuals with the option to relocate and the right to live, work, study, and receive healthcare in their new countries of residence. Being able to change residence to a suitable country or have multiple residences is an increasingly important aspect of international planning for private clients.
