Services for Private Clients

A person of talent and means need not limit his or her life and business to only one country.

Henley & Partners' International Residence and Citizenship Practice Group 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 their knowledge and experience so that the specific details of each client's case are considered from all relevant perspectives. But you not only have a large number of experts at your disposal, you are also assigned a personal advisor who coordinates the various specialists and ensures 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 government officials. As a client of our firm, you can rely on us to receive the right advice, and we also help you build a network of contacts, take advantage of your new environment and achieve your goals.

Many Possibilities but Complex Immigration and Tax Laws

In many countries in the world it is possible to start a new business, establish a branch or subsidiary of a foreign company, 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 immigration and tax 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 vast majority of cases, the use of a professional consultant makes the difference between obtaining a residence permit and being refused one.
