What long-term residence may—and may not—do for founders and investors. The observations below provide a strategic framework for discussion and are not a substitute for jurisdiction-specific professional advice.
Separate residence from business structuring
Residence status, company ownership, tax residence, operational substance and banking are related but distinct questions.
Assess the complete objective
Consider family, time horizon, mobility, business activity, investment, source-of-funds evidence and long-term obligations.
Confirm current rules
Eligibility categories, thresholds, documents and procedures change. Obtain a current official-source assessment and use the correct authorised channels.
