Family Relocation
Beyond the Passport: A Framework for Family Relocation
Schools, healthcare, banking access, and succession — second citizenship is the door, not the destination.
Key takeaways
- Citizenship and residency programs are tools — not endpoints.
- Three dimensions deserve early attention: education (school placements often have 12–18 month waitlists in tier-1 destinations), healthcare (private cover requires policy issuance prior to arrival), and banking (HNWI accounts in EU/UK require pre-approved residency or referrals).
- Done properly, a citizenship file is opened in parallel with these workstreams, not sequentially.
