PLAN RESIDENCE INTERNATIONALLY
A second base is valuable when it fits the life you intend to lead.
For your family, your business or a prepared Plan B: what matters is the residence status granted, the activity permitted and the commitments you can sustain.

SIX DECISION QUESTIONS
What a residence route needs to deliver.
Residence, work and tax are separate questions. Compare routes by their actual legal effect.
Which status is granted, to whom and for how long?
Is the intended work or business role actually permitted?
Do dependents, education, care and insurance fit?
What follows from actual presence and personal circumstances?
What capital, physical presence and ongoing duties are required?
What is required for renewal or a possible later status?
FIVE ROUTE FAMILIES
A Golden Visa or another route?
The label alone tells you little about the rights granted. Compare the distinct legal routes here.
Investment-linked Residence & Golden Visas
Routes based on qualifying capital or another approved investment. The status granted and its renewal conditions differ by country.
Investment-linked Permanent Residence
Routes that can grant permanent residence to qualifying investors, subject to their own maintenance and re-entry conditions.
Highly Skilled & Talent Residence
Residence pathways based on qualifications, professional activity, specialist expertise, entrepreneurship, or recognized talent.
Business & Remote-Work Residence
Routes based on an actual business role, overseas work, or company expansion rather than a passive investment.
Long-Term & Lifestyle Residence
Multi-year residence models for personal lifestyle planning, retirement, or a long-term regional base.
