Expatriation

Together with respected law firms in various regions of the world, Alpen Partners is advising its clients on expatriation issues. In a world of increasing tax pressure and professional mobility, expatriation has become one of the most efficient tools for asset protection and estate planning.

Expatriation may involve relocating to a jurisdiction like Switzerland, Monaco, Dubai or Singapore. These jurisdictions are usually preferred for their low tax rates, safety and investor friendly environments. Expatriation may also involve acquiring a new passport and renouncing a citizenship. EU passports as well as passports from various Caribbean Islands have been very popular in recent years. No matter what expatriation route is chosen, it can be a powerful tactic to allow clients to gain better control of their financial and personal lives.
