Investment and passport migration for wealth owners

We build a residency strategy and select TRP/citizenship-by-investment programs, considering taxes, KYC, and banking requirements.

Residency as part of capital strategy

Moving to another country, starting a business in the EU, or educating children abroad changes not only your lifestyle but also the requirements for your capital structure. Without adapting assets, tax models, and compliance frameworks, residency becomes a source of risk rather than a strategic tool. We help integrate residency into the overall capital management system — consciously, transparently, and without unexpected consequences.

Investment and passport migration for capital owners

Investment migration has long ceased to be just about “a passport for the sake of a passport.” For a capital owner, the key questions are: which residency is beneficial from a tax perspective, how banks and regulators view it, and how the new jurisdiction aligns with the existing asset and business structure. An ill-conceived change of residency, participation in a citizenship-by-investment program, or a “Golden Visa” without tax and KYC analysis leads to unexpected tax assessments, compliance inquiries, and blocked operations.

LigLex views investment migration as part of a capital management strategy. In the first stage, we analyze the initial position: citizenship, current tax status, asset portfolio (companies, real estate, investment portfolio), and the family’s countries of actual presence. Next, we form a shortlist of jurisdictions and residency regimes that align with the client’s goals (asset protection, market access, education, lifestyle) and requirements regarding income, investment, and physical presence.

For each scenario, a tax model is calculated: personal income tax, taxes on dividends and capital gains, CFC (Controlled Foreign Corporation) rules, and the application of double tax treaties. Simultaneously, we assess the impact on CRS and the KYC profile: how banks and brokers will perceive the client after the change of residency, what documents will be required, and where “red flags” may arise.

The result of our work is a coordinated migration and tax plan: the selected combination of citizenship/residency, the target asset ownership structure, a calendar of steps for changing residency, and a set of necessary service providers. We support the preparation of the dossier, communication with local partners, and the setup of banking and investment services in the new jurisdiction, ensuring that migration and tax solutions work together rather than contradicting each other.
