Investing across a border means regulators, structures and visas that must line up. We handle the approvals and the structuring, and connect the investment to residence where that is the goal.
Foreign investment is regulated in every one of our jurisdictions: Australia's Foreign Investment Review Board regime, the Central Bank registration of foreign capital in Brazil, and the residence-linked investment programs of Portugal and New Zealand. We advise investors, family offices and companies on the approvals, the entity that should hold the asset and the obligations that follow.
Where an investment is also the basis for a visa — Portugal's Golden Visa, New Zealand's Active Investor Plus visa, Australia's National Innovation visa — we run the legal and the migration work as one file.
We identify the approvals, the holding structure and the migration angle, and set out costs and timing.
Applications are prepared and lodged, entities established, and agreements drafted.
We close the transaction and calendar the reporting and residence conditions that follow.
Most foreign persons do, with exceptions and thresholds that depend on the buyer and the asset. We confirm before contracts are signed.

The Business Innovation and Investment program (subclass 188) closed to new applications in July 2024; existing provisional visa holders can still progress to the subclass 888. Australia's current route for outstanding entrepreneurs and investors is the National Innovation visa (subclass 858), and New Zealand's Active Investor Plus visa remains open.
