Before you decide
The main considerations
- The status you actually needTemporary, long-term and permanent residence are distinct. Begin with the rights and validity that your plans require.
- Maintaining your residenceAn approval is the beginning of an ongoing commitment. Understand visits, registration, investment retention and renewal before choosing a route.
- Residence and tax are separateAn immigration permit does not determine your complete tax position. A qualified professional should assess your circumstances in every relevant jurisdiction.
