This process and its requirements vary by country, so it’s best to consult a local immigration expert for tailored advice.
How can I transfer my finances and assets to another country?

Working with an international financial planner can help ensure your assets are managed properly during the move.

Typically, you’ll need identification (passport), proof of financial stability, and any supporting documents, such as marriage certificates or proof of employment/study.
Some countries also require health checks or police clearances. Specific requirements depend on the type of visa you’re applying for.
How long does the immigration process take?
The timeline varies greatly depending on the country, visa type, and individual circumstances.
Some visas can be processed in a few months, while others, especially permanent residency applications, might take a year or more.
