These questions are frequently asked in relation to second residency and passports.
Residency and citizenship services at Alpen are never stand-alone solutions. They form part of broader wealth planning strategies. We support families in evaluating options for second residencies or passports in the context of mobility, tax efficiency, contingency planning and intergenerational continuity. As an independent firm, we collaborate only with vetted providers and focus on structuring transparent and compliant frameworks that reflect family objectives. Switzerland serves as a trusted base for coordinating these solutions across jurisdictions. By embedding residencies and passports into family governance and estate planning, we seek to support long-term continuity and integrate these elements into broader wealth structures.
Second residencies and passports are best understood as long-term planning tools, not lifestyle extras. They can provide mobility, access to education, tax efficiencies and contingency planning for families with international exposure. At Alpen, we begin by clarifying objectives, whether a family is seeking to secure better options for future generations, enhance governance, or build resilience in case of geopolitical change. These goals then shape the type of residency or passport programme pursued, ensuring suitability and alignment with broader strategies.
We emphasise that residencies and passports should complement existing wealth frameworks, not disrupt them. For example, residency in a certain jurisdiction might support favourable tax status, while a second passport could enhance global mobility. By incorporating these goals into governance and succession planning, we aim to align each step with long-term family considerations. Our approach is transparent, compliant and stratgic, always tailored to objectives rather than short-term conveniences.
Residency and citizenship programmes involve complex regulations, especially for families with cross-border wealth. At Alpen, we coordinate the process in collaboration with trusted legal and tax advisers, ensuring, applications are compliant and reflect family priorities. We avoid any “citizenship for sale” messaging and instead focus on credible, vetted providers with strong regulatory track records. For UK-connected families or those with multiple jurisdictions of residence, compliance is particularly critical to avoid conflicts or duplications. We consider residency and passport solutions in the context of existing structures, including trusts, governance frameworks and succession plans.
Coordination also extends to execution, where applications are managed to balance efficiency, discretion and global obligations. Our role is one of strategic oversight rather than product distribution. With compliance embedded in the process, our focus is on maintaining transparency and consistency Residencies and passports thus become respected, reliable instruments that support continuity, governance and resilience over time rather than isolated documents.
Second residencies and passports are considered within the broader wealth strategy, with attention to how they interact with succession planning, governance and tax structures. At Alpen, our focus is on integrating these elements thoughtfully into existing frameworks. For example, a residency may help secure more efficient tax treatment, while a second passport can strengthen mobility and contingency planning. Integration supports consistency between liquidity and succession strategies, with the aim of reducing potential misalignments. We work closely with legal and tax advisers to embed residencies and passports into family governance frameworks, aligning them with trusts, foundations or philanthropic initiatives where appropriate.
The focus is always on enhancing stability, not creating complexity. Our independence allows us to advise objectively, selecting programmes that match family goals rather than external pressures. When considered strategically, second residencies and passports can be incorporated into broader structures with careful attention to continuity and cross-border planning. This holistic approach places access within a broader framework, focused on long-term structure and transparency.
Residencies and passports should be viewed through the lens of generational planning. At Alpen, we emphasise their role within long-term frameworks rather than short-term outcomes. These arrangements provide security during uncertain times, helping families retain mobility and flexibility when political, economic or tax environments shift. Long-term resilience also requires adaptability, as family circumstances and regulations change. We design frameworks to adapt over time, with attention to consistency and regulatory considerations.
For example, a second residency might provide educational access today, but in the future it could become a base for succession or estate planning. Our approach is to treat these instruments as part of a structured, long-term strategy rather than short-term tactics. By embedding them in governance, we integrate them within cross-border wealth planning in a consistent manner. When implemented thoughtfully, second residencies and passports can be incorporated into broader structures with attention to practical considerations and long-term cross-border planning.
At Alpen, second residency and passport services go beyond financial considerations. They are grounded in trust, long-term relationships and a structured approach. You remain in control where it matters most, while drawing on professional expertise where it adds value. In this way, your arrangements can be structured to reflect your vision, your family’s priorities and the legacy you wish to build.
