BRIDGES · since 2004
Citizenship, residency and global solutions
We help entrepreneurs, investors and families obtain a second citizenship or residency, buy property, set up a company and open accounts. We look at status, tax and banking together, so one decision does not get in the way of another. We work through official government programmes.

A joined-up approach
Status, tax, banking and family in one work plan
For example, a family buys a home in Greece and obtains residency. While the status documents are prepared, we review tax, the transfer of funds, business and the children’s documents in advance. The private clients team coordinates the work, and specialists join on their own questions.
- StatusWe select a property that meets the programme terms and file residency for the whole family.
Sofia MendesInvestment Migration Expert - TaxWe work out in advance when tax residency may change and how it affects your income.
Dmitry NagyInternational Tax Consultant - BankWe prepare proof of the source of funds so the bank accepts the payment for the purchase.
Nikos PappasBanking Relations Specialist - BusinessWe decide how to receive income from your company after the move and whether a new structure is needed.
Robert HaasCorporate Lawyer - FamilyWe arrange status for your spouse, children and parents, plus documents for school and insurance.

How we work
Five stages: from your goal to receiving the documents
We establish why you need a second status: visa-free travel, relocation, business, children’s education or protecting capital. We match the programme and passport to that goal, so you spend no time or money on what you do not need.

Client reviews
ViktorInvestorI did everything correctly: chose the fund, invested the money, and waited for my residence permit. Then it turns out the fund's certificate has an error, and because of that I might be denied. The money is invested, but the paperwork is flawed - and I'm the one who suffers!
