Fit and deliverables
Founders, investors and families who plan to live in another country, or who already hold a permit and want to understand whether their tax position has actually changed. It works best when the move is real: a home, time spent in the country and a credible reason to be there.
When this is not appropriate
- You do not intend to spend real time in the new country
- You need a guaranteed tax outcome
What BDA coordinates
- Residence-permit coordination
- Tax-residence assessment with specialists
- Family members and documents
- Coordination with company setup
Typically included
- Route comparison and eligibility check
- Document list, translations and appointments coordination
- Alignment with company and banking work
Selected starting prices
Indicative fees for professional work in the simplest eligible case.
A residence permit does not automatically change tax residence. The result depends on the rules of the country being left, physical presence, home, family, economic interests and applicable tax treaties.

Typically excluded

Practical questions
Does a residence permit make me tax resident there?
Not automatically. Tax residence depends on the rules of the country you leave and the new one: physical presence, home, family, economic interests and tax treaties.
Is the Georgia business + residence package the same as residence only?
No. The package (from €4,870) combines a company with a residence process; residence-only routes start from €2,790 and are assessed separately.
Can my family be included?
Often yes, depending on the country. Each family member requires documents and is quoted in the written proposal.
Do I need to live in the country?
Many permits carry presence or renewal conditions, and tax residence usually needs real presence. We set these out before you commit.
Why is Switzerland priced differently?
Swiss residence for non-EU nationals is typically linked to cantonal assessment and a wealth or tax arrangement, which requires significantly more specialist work.
