Residency

What is Residency?

Residency is a legal status that allows foreign nationals to live in a country for an extended period, often with access to healthcare, banking, education, and investment rights. It serves as a strategic foundation for global mobility, wealth preservation, and long-term security—without requiring citizenship or renouncing your current nationality.
