Frequently asked questions
Common questions
Does an investor automatically obtain residence by opening a company?
Not automatically; specific requirements regarding investment, management or job creation generally apply, which vary by country and may be changed by current regulations.
Is it possible to transfer an executive without changing their original employment relationship?
It depends on the type of secondment and the rules of the destination country; this analysis is carried out case by case, together with the labor law team.
How long does a residence authorization process take?
The timeframe varies according to the country, the chosen pathway and the complexity of the proceedings; we avoid estimating fixed deadlines before analyzing the specific case.
Can children and a spouse obtain residence together with the applicant?
As a rule, this is possible through family reunification, subject to the requirements of each jurisdiction, which must be verified at the time of the process.
