Services for private clients

A person of talent and means need not limit their life and business to only one country. Making an active decision with regard to your residence and citizenship gives you more personal freedom, privacy, and security. Henley & Partners has the expertise and experience necessary to advise and assist clients with regard to this decision.

As a client of Henley & Partners, you receive integrated solutions rather than isolated advice. By working closely together as a team, our specialists pool together their knowledge and experience so that the specific details of each client’s case are considered from all relevant perspectives. Not only do you have a large number of experts at your disposal, you are also assigned a personal advisor who will coordinate the various specialists and ensure continuity of strategy and service.

To establish yourself or your business in a new country requires securing relationships with key partners such as lawyers, tax experts, bankers, and real estate professionals. As a client of our firm, you can rely on us to give you the right advice. We will also help you build a network of contacts, take advantage of your new environment, and achieve your goals.

Many options, many complexities

In many countries in the world, it is possible to incorporate a company, establish a branch or subsidiary of a foreign company, or invest in or establish a business and thereby obtain a residence permit. Likewise, it is often possible to obtain a residence permit if you meet the relevant requirements for persons of independent means.

However, the laws of most countries are increasingly complex and subject to continuous revision. The procedures can be daunting for prospective applicants who are not fully conversant with all the relevant legal aspects of their cases.

The use of an experienced specialist will significantly increase the chances of success. In the majority of cases, the use of a professional consultant makes the difference between obtaining a residence permit and being refused one.
