MBN Legal
STATUS

Residency as part
of the project

We assess the legal basis, applicant composition, status maintenance and its relationship with business, banking and assets.

Project perspective

Residency within the wider project

The correct route depends on the result the client needs, the people who must be included, the evidence available and the conditions that must remain true after approval. We therefore test the route before treating it as a project.

The first assessment is designed to identify decision points and dependencies before documents or commitments are created.

Key considerations

What makes a route workable

Each question has its own evidence, risk and responsible specialist. The project becomes clear when these questions are answered together.

Who needs the status

Principal applicant, spouse, children and other eligible dependants are reviewed as one applicant group.

What creates the legal basis

Investment, employment, business activity, income or another statutory ground must be supported by the right evidence.

How the status is kept

Validity, physical presence, renewal conditions and document expiry are separated from tax residence.

What else changes

The residence route may affect business management, banking evidence, property use and family planning.

Assessment scope

What we assess first

We do not request a full sensitive file at the first contact. The required evidence is defined after the route and scope are clear.

Objective and geography

What should change for the client, in which jurisdiction and within what realistic sequence.

Applicant composition

Who is included, dependency rules, age limits and any separate applications that may be required.

Admissibility and restrictions

Nationality, prior immigration history, sanctions exposure and authority-specific limitations.

Evidence and source of funds

What must be documented, translated, legalized or independently verified before filing.

Presence and maintenance

Entry requirements, time outside the jurisdiction, renewal triggers and ongoing obligations.

Connected decisions

How the route interacts with corporate, banking, property and succession work.

Connected architecture

A status that works in practice

A residence permit may solve the right to live in a country, but it does not automatically solve tax residence, banking access, corporate management or ownership questions. These workstreams are assessed separately and connected only where necessary.

Project output

What the project team prepares

The exact scope depends on the instruction and the licensed professionals required for the matter.

  2. Comparison of realistic route options
  3. Applicant and evidence plan
  4. Implementation sequence and responsibility map
  5. Renewal and maintenance calendar
Working sequence

From brief to maintained status

The sequence is adjusted to the route, authority and evidence available. No stage is treated as an automatic approval.

01

Brief

Define the personal, family and geographic outcome.

02

Assessment

Test the legal basis and restrictions.

03

Route selection

Compare realistic alternatives and obligations.

04

Implementation

Prepare evidence and coordinate submissions.

05

Maintenance

Track validity, presence and renewal conditions.

Private client questions

Questions to answer first

Does residence automatically create tax residence?

No. Immigration status and tax residence are separate questions and must be assessed under the relevant rules.

Can family members be included?

That depends on the route, relationship, age, dependency and the rules in force at filing.

Is a bank account part of the residence approval?

No. Banking is a separate regulated decision and cannot be guaranteed by an immigration route.

When should documents be collected?

After the route and evidence requirements are confirmed, so the file is built for the correct authority and purpose.

Start with an applicability review

We will identify the relevant questions, dependencies and the next professional step.
