RESIDENCY ADVISORY
More Than a
Change of Address.
Establishing residency in another country can be part of a much wider personal, family or international planning decision.
Universal helps clients consider residency opportunities in the context of what they are seeking to achieve — from lifestyle and mobility to family, business and longer-term plans.
RESIDENCY CONSIDERED IN THE CONTEXT OF YOUR WIDER OBJECTIVES.
Begin With Where You Want to Go
Your preferred location, lifestyle, family circumstances and
reasons for establishing residency provide the starting point
for considering the available pathways.
Compare the Relevant Pathways
Residency programmes differ in their requirements, qualifying
routes and ongoing obligations. We help bring the relevant
considerations into a clearer framework for comparison.
Consider What Residency Connects To
Where relevant, residency can be considered alongside property,
business, tax, family and other cross-border planning matters,
with appropriate specialist expertise coordinated where required.
