Residence by investment lawyers for investors and families

Residence by investment lets a foreign national obtain a residence permit in return for a qualifying investment. Lawyers in this field help investors choose a programme, structure the purchase of property, government bonds, a fund stake or a new business, and prepare the application for themselves, a spouse and children. They also manage renewals and the move to permanent residence.

Every residence by investment programme is a creature of national immigration law, and governments change the rules often. Minimum amounts, eligible asset classes and the number of days you must spend in the country differ widely, and several European states have recently narrowed or closed their schemes. Tax residence does not automatically follow a permit, so lawyers often coordinate with tax advisers before any money moves.

Residence by investment fees are usually fixed for the immigration application, with separate charges for property due diligence, company formation or fund documentation. Some firms bill a percentage of the investment, which can create pressure toward larger purchases, so read the engagement letter closely. Contingency fees are not normal here. Watch the calendar. Permits must be renewed before they lapse, investments often need to be held for a minimum period, and documents such as criminal record certificates expire after a few months.

Ask the lawyer whether they receive commissions from developers or fund managers, as independence protects you. Ask how they verify the source of funds, what happens if the programme rules change during processing, and who will file the renewal. Filter by country or city below.
