Our Services

Immigration processes

Our immigration expertise covers the entire process, from initial consultation to obtaining the necessary visas. We help clients navigate the complex paperwork and ensure they understand every step. For instance, we’ve assisted families in securing residence permits for their loved ones, allowing them to reunite in their new country.

Transfer of assets/wealth management

We specialize in the safe and efficient transfer of assets across borders. Our wealth management services aim to maximize clients’ financial potential in their new home. For example, we’ve helped clients diversify their portfolios to take advantage of investment opportunities in their new country.

Tax and accounting

Our team of tax and accounting specialists ensures that clients are in full compliance with their new country’s tax laws. We also help minimize our clients’ tax liabilities, ensuring they keep more of their hard-earned money. For instance, we’ve helped expats take advantage of double taxation treaties to avoid paying tax twice on the same income.

Health Insurance and Other Insurances

We ensure that our clients have access to the best health insurance options, as well as other types of insurance they may need, such as car or home insurance. For instance, we have helped clients secure health insurance that covers them both in their new country and when they travel.

Administrative Processes

We handle a wide range of administrative tasks that come with moving to a new country, such as registering for utilities, obtaining a phone number, or opening a bank account.
