  • No comparable, current cost calculation is published here. Request an itemised estimate covering the application or setup, third-party charges and ongoing responsibilities relevant to your circumstances.
  • No verified processing-time estimate is published here. Ask which stages depend on documents, checks or third-party decisions before relying on a target date.

Residency and Citizenship

Consider where you and your family may wish to establish residence, the status each family member may require, and whether a second citizenship forms part of your wider plans. Residence rights, citizenship and tax residence are distinct matters, each requiring careful assessment.

Corporate structuring

Company Formation

Trusts and Asset Protection

Trusts and private foundations may serve different purposes. Their suitability depends on your objectives, beneficiaries, governance preferences and the jurisdictions involved. Legal and tax consequences should be assessed in the context of your individual circumstances.
