Residency by Investment
Golden visas and residency in 13 countries — Portugal, the UAE, Malta, Greece and more.
Residency by investment gives you the legal right to live somewhere — and, in many programmes, a route to citizenship — through a qualifying investment or a genuine move. We work with thirteen active programmes across Europe, the Gulf and Asia.
Being allowed to live somewhere and being taxed there are different things. A Portuguese D7 visa doesn't automatically make you Portuguese tax resident; a UAE Golden Visa doesn't on its own end your UK domicile. We plan your residence and your tax position together.
Whether your family can come too, how many days you must spend there, and how long until you can apply for citizenship all vary a lot. We set them out clearly against your travel and succession goals before recommending anything.

The countries we most often use for this service.
Questions we hear on every intake call.
- Which residency programme is fastest?
- The UAE Golden Visa is the fastest from start to finish — usually four to eight weeks. Portugal's D7 and Greece's Golden Visa take three to nine months.
- Do I need to actually live there?
- The UAE needs roughly one day every six months. Portugal's D7 needs you to genuinely spend time there. Greece's Golden Visa needs very little time there. We match the programme to the time you can commit.
- Does residency make me tax resident?
- Not automatically. Tax residence depends on how much time you spend there, your ties, and each country's own rules. We plan both together.
