About This Book

This book, now in its fourth edition, presents in-depth yet practical information on the most important issues concerning residence and citizenship planning for private clients. It is designed as a guide for private client advisers such as law firms, tax consultants, private banks and family offices. It is also addressed directly to private individuals and families, business owners, entrepreneurs and investors who are interested in finding out more about the various issues of interest to them.

The use of concise and precise language reflects its character as a handbook and reference source. In particular, the author has endeavored to express the terms and concepts involved as transparently as possible in order to make them easily accessible even to those without a legal background. Footnotes are therefore avoided where possible for the sake of clarity.
