Switzerland is a country in Central Europe bordering Italy, Germany, Austria, Liechtenstein and France. One of the most beautiful and wealthiest countries in the world, with a high standard of living.

Legal grounds for residence

Investors can get a Swiss residence permit through financial independence. To do so, the applicant pays a fixed annual tax that is calculated individually for each applicant - from 250,000 to 1 million Swiss francs.

The residence permit does not grant the right to work in the country. The investor can, however, manage their own international investment portfolio from Switzerland and run a business abroad.

On a free consultation we assess your situation and calculate the fixed tax that would apply in your case.
