Looking to Secure a Global Visa? We're Here to Help! 

In an increasingly interconnected and unpredictable world, private clients are looking beyond traditional wealth management to secure their future, protect their families, and expand their opportunities.

Global mobility — through second citizenship, residency options, and international planning — is no longer just a luxury or an afterthought. It has become an integral part of a well-rounded financial strategy.

For financial advisors and wealth managers, this represents both a challenge and an opportunity to guide clients with confidence, add meaningful value, and strengthen relationships by addressing aspirations that extend beyond borders.

Below is a concise guide to help you understand how global mobility planning can complement your advisory practice — and why now is the right time to start the conversation with your clients.

1. Global Mobility — Still a Niche, But Growing Fast

The good news is you don’t need to become an expert overnight. But you should be aware of the most common pathways your clients may already be exploring:

• Residency-by-investment programs (e.g., Portugal, Greece, UAE, Italy).

• Citizenship-by-investment in the Caribbean and elsewhere.

• Citizenship by descent for those with ancestral ties to another country such as Ireland.

These options allow clients to diversify not just their portfolios but their lives — unlocking greater travel freedom, tax efficiency, family security, and lifestyle flexibility.

2. Why It Matters for Your Clients — and Your Practice

For high-net-worth families, global mobility planning has evolved into a prudent, forward-thinking strategy. Here’s why:

• It provides a hedge against geopolitical and economic uncertainty.

• It supports lifestyle goals, such as retiring abroad or living closer to family.

• It aligns with long-term succession and tax planning.

• It adds another layer of diversification to their wealth management plan.

Clients increasingly expect their advisors to be proactive and informed about these opportunities — even if you’re not the one executing them directly.

3. Where Do Things Stand?

  • Many programs — such as Portugal’s Golden Visa — remain open, though reforms have made some pathways more restrictive.
  • Global mobility options evolve, and timing is often critical; being informed allows you to guide clients when it matters most.
  • Partnering with specialists like us ensures your clients receive expert guidance while you maintain your role at the center of the relationship.
