Before You Begin.
The right solution depends on factors such as your nationality, current residence, business activities, banking requirements, budget and long-term objectives. We assess these factors during the initial consultation.
Travel requirements depend on the selected jurisdiction and service. Some processes can be started remotely, while others require one or more personal visits. Where travel is needed we tell you in advance which steps require it, so that it can be combined into a single trip wherever possible.
Not automatically. Tax residency and immigration residency are separate questions, and the answer depends on where you actually spend your time, where your business is managed and the rules of both countries involved. We flag where the two interact and coordinate with qualified advisers where regulated advice is required.
Often, though who qualifies as a dependant and on what terms differs per programme. We establish that before an application is prepared rather than afterwards, because it can influence which route is suitable in the first place.
Usually not. But where a company is genuinely managed and controlled can matter both for tax and for banking, and authorities increasingly ask the question. We raise it at the start so that the structure still holds up a year later.
Forming a company does not by itself secure a bank account, not even in the same jurisdiction. Banking is assessed and prepared as a separate step, and we say plainly what we think the prospects are before you commit to a structure that depends on it.
No. Every banking application is subject to the bank's own compliance, risk assessment and due-diligence procedures. We help clients prepare and coordinate suitable applications, but final approval always remains with the financial institution.
Typically proof of identity and address, evidence of the source of funds, and a clear description of the business activity behind the account. The exact list differs per institution, and we confirm what is required before you start gathering anything.
A refusal is recorded and makes the next application harder, which is precisely why we prefer to prepare one well-founded application rather than several at once. If it does happen, we review why before deciding whether another institution is realistic.
We provide general international advisory and coordination. Where regulated legal or tax advice is required, we coordinate with qualified professionals in the relevant jurisdiction.
Timelines depend on the service, jurisdiction, government authority, financial institution and completeness of the applicant's documentation.
Yes. Clients may combine residency, company and banking services when the solutions are suitable for their situation. In practice these questions usually arrive together, and planning them together produces a better result than solving them one at a time.
We review your objectives and background, determine whether our services are suitable and explain the recommended next steps.
