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.

A client from Georgia approached us with the goal of moving to France with his family, opening a company there, and running a business. We proposed a French Passeport Talent – Créateur d'entreprise residence permit. To this end we prepared a business plan, a justification of the project's economic value for France, and a full dossier for submission to the Ministry of the Economy. After the project was approved, the client and his family received D visas valid for 3 months and arrived in France. We assisted with setting up the company, making the required investments, and applying for the Passeport Talent residence permit, which they received for 4 years. The client now lives in France with his family and is growing the business, while we continue to support his operations, including accounting support and document preparation for future residence permit renewals.
A client from Russia with property on the French Riviera and an account with a French bank contacted us, having trouble obtaining long-term Schengen visas. To preserve access to the account and continue travelling to France, we arranged a French residence permit for financially independent persons, issued for one year and not requiring permanent residency. As a result, the client travels freely around France and the Schengen area and continues to use their bank account.
We opened a bank account in Cyprus remotely in just 2 weeks. Without Global Resident, it would have taken months. Thank you for the efficiency and professionalism!

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 type of residence permit. Usually the renewal application is submitted 1-3 months before the expiry date. We remind clients of the deadlines and prepare all the necessary documents for the renewal.
Minimum stay requirements depend on the program. Some programs (for example, the Greek Golden Visa) do not require mandatory residence. Others (work residence permit) imply a constant presence. We will choose a program that fits your lifestyle.
The most accessible residence permit programs are: Greece (from EUR 250,000), Turkey (from USD 200,000), Portugal (from EUR 500,000), UAE (from AED 500,000). Each program has its own advantages - we will help you choose the optimal one.
It depends on the type of residence permit and the country. An investment residence permit (Golden Visa) usually does not grant the right to be employed but allows you to run your own business. A work residence permit grants the full right to be employed.
A residence permit is a document granting the right to legally reside in a country. A residence permit in EU countries provides the right of visa-free movement within the Schengen area, access to healthcare and education, and the possibility of starting a business.
Tax obligations depend on the country and your tax residency status. A number of countries (Cyprus, Malta, Portugal) have special tax regimes for new residents. We work with tax consultants and will help optimise the tax burden.
