A second residence is not a second passport

Residency, citizenship, and a tax home are three different decisions. Families lose money when those words are used as one.

A second residence is not a second passport

A residence card lets you live somewhere for a period, on conditions. Citizenship is a later, separate act of a state. A tax home is what a tax adviser determines from where you actually live and earn. None of these is a product we sell.

The useful question is narrower. Where will the children go to school. Where will you sleep most nights. Which adviser will say whether leaving a high-tax country is lawful for your facts.

If a brochure promises a passport because a baby is born there, or because money was moved, ask for the statute and the lawyer’s name. We will not be that brochure.
