+ What we can speak to

Six topics we comment on with first-hand experience.

Every item below is something our team has done for clients, not read about. Ask for a named spokesperson or let us match the topic.

01

Golden Visas

Portugal, Greece and the UAE: fund routes, real estate rules, processing times, and what program changes mean for applicants already in the queue.

02

Citizenship by investment

Caribbean and European programs, due diligence, real costs and timelines, and how a second passport is used in practice.

03

EU residency

D7, digital nomad and other passive-income and remote-work visas, and what the first year in Europe actually looks like.

04

Wealth migration

Why high-net-worth Americans, Britons and Canadians are moving, where they go, what it costs, and what the numbers show.

05

US expat tax

FEIE, FBAR, US tax residency, LLCs, 401(k) and Roth IRA questions when an American relocates to Europe. We speak US.

06

Citizenship by descent

Portuguese, Italian, Irish and other ancestry routes, eligibility rules and the document hurdles that decide a case.

A selection of recent coverage. For the full list of publications, or to request a specific interview, contact the press desk.

Since Portugal removed real estate from the Golden Visa, the fund route has become the default for American applicants. Our US inquiries have doubled year on year, and the profile has shifted from retirees to families in their forties.

Golden Visa demand from US investors hits a record as Portugal's fund route matures

June 2026 · Yahoo Finance

The D7 is not a loophole. It is a passive-income visa with real residency obligations, and the clients who treat it as a commitment rather than a shortcut are the ones still happy three years in.
