India is perhaps one of the few remaining powerhouses left in the world where the country’s High-Net Individuals(HNIs) have yet to take full advantage of the opportunities available to them to invest abroad and truly become global citizens.
Residency & Citizenship by Investment (R&C by Investment) is one such option that offers HNIs a multi-faceted solution for their long-term and short-term goals. Thanks to economic liberalization and exponential increase in personal income, Indian HNIs are now seriously considering R&C by Investment to grow their business, secure their children’s future, diversify their investment portfolio, and plan their financial future.
However, since this is a recent phenomenon, there exists a knowledge vacuum regarding the specifics and processes related to it. This book aims to remove this vacuum by providing a synopsis of the R&C by Investment programs of several countries around the world, in a simple and non-legal language. Besides HNIs, this book can also serve as a handy guide to professionals who render services to HNIs: professionals like Chartered Accounts, Wealth Managers, Lawyers, Property Advisors, and others.
The world is increasingly becoming a global village and R&C by Investment is a powerful tool for Indian HNIs to assert their presence in the global business market. This book is the first step in that direction.
