This applies to individuals in France who derive passive income from sources outside of France. Passive income is defined as income received without the need for personal labor or active work—for instance, income from real estate rentals, investments, dividends, interest on deposits, or pensions. In rare instances, remote work may also be classified as passive income, provided it can be demonstrated that it does not require your active participation.

We were approached by a client from Georgia who wished to relocate to France with his family to establish and run a company. We proposed obtaining a "Talent Passport – Business Creator" (*Passeport Talent – Créateur d'entreprise*) residence permit for him; to this end, we prepared a business plan, a justification of the project's economic value to France, and a comprehensive application dossier for submission to the Ministry of Economy. Following the project's approval, the client and his family received three-month Type D visas and arrived in France. We assisted them with incorporating the company, making the required investments, and applying for the "Talent Passport" residence permit, which was granted for a four-year term. The client currently resides in France with his family and is developing his business, while we continue to provide ongoing support, including accounting services and the preparation of documentation for the future renewal of his residence permit.
We were approached by a client from Russia who owned property on the French Riviera and held a French bank account but was facing difficulties obtaining long-term Schengen visas. To ensure continued access to the account and allow for ongoing travel to France, we secured a residence permit for financially independent individuals; this permit is valid for one year and does not require permanent residence. As a result, the client can now travel freely within France and the Schengen Area while continuing to use their bank account.

Here you will find answers to the most common questions about obtaining residency, to quickly understand the key stages and opportunities.
The renewal procedure depends on the country and the type of residence permit. Typically, the renewal application is submitted 1–3 months before the permit expires. We remind clients of the deadlines and prepare all the necessary documents for the renewal.
Minimum stay requirements vary by program. Some programs (such as the Greek Golden Visa) do not require mandatory residence, while others (such as a work-based residence permit) entail continuous presence. We will select a program that suits your lifestyle.
The most accessible residence-by-investment programs are in Greece (from €250,000), Turkey (from $200,000), Portugal (from €500,000), and the UAE (from AED 500,000). Each program has its own advantages, and we will help you choose the best one.
It depends on the type of residence permit and the country. An investment residence permit (Golden Visa) typically does not grant the right to work as an employee but allows you to run your own business. A work residence permit grants full employment rights.
A residence permit is a document that grants the right to reside in a country legally. A residence permit in EU countries provides the right to visa-free travel within the Schengen Area, access to healthcare and education, and the opportunity to start a business.
Tax obligations depend on the country and your tax residency status. Certain countries (such as Cyprus, Malta, and Portugal) offer special tax regimes for new residents. We work with tax advisors and can help optimize your tax liability.
