International mobility is the establishment of a legal presence abroad. It involves long-term decisions related to residence, business positioning, and economic stability,
personal security, and future citizenship interests.
International mobility requires planning, a legal structure, and execution.
Global Expansion Opportunities
Explore strategic pathways to establish your business and residency
in Portugal, Spain, Brazil and the USA.
Whether you’re an entrepreneur, investor, or professional,
we provide expert guidance to help you navigate the process smoothly.
Spain
Move to Spain through two unique pathways. Remote workers can apply for the Digital Nomad Visa, while entrepreneurs can establish a business with the Entrepreneur Visa. We assist with company incorporation, legal processes, and visa approvals to ensure a smooth transition.
The United States
Relocate executives to the United States through the L-1 Intra-Company Transfer. We support U.S. company incorporation and coordinate with local partner lawyers. The visa is granted for one year and may be extended twice for three years as the business expands, potentially opening Green Card opportunities.
Brazil
Brazil offers access to a large consumer market and strategic positioning in Latin America.
We support business setup, residency, and digital nomad strategies for entrepreneurs, investors, and international operators.
Portugal
Expand to Europe through Portugal’s Startup Visa program.
As official representatives of a government-designated incubator, we support business positioning, company incorporation, immigration coordination, and incubator alignment in line with program requirements.
How We Work
Stage 1: One-Hour Strategic Consultation
This is a paid introductory consultation.
We review your goals, background, and initial ideas.
We discuss possible countries, general pathways, timing considerations, and key constraints based on your profile. This stage does not include planning, research, documentation, or execution.
It is designed to clarify direction and determine whether a full strategic analysis is appropriate.
Stage 2: Case Study and Strategic Analysis
This is a paid strategic assessment.
We evaluate the business model, market potential, benchmarks, and key competitors.
We assess suitable countries or provinces, founders’ profiles, and viable immigration pathways, including high-level company incorporation and tax considerations.
The outcome is a written strategic report to support an informed decision before execution.
Stage 3: Project Execution
This is the implementation phase.
We execute the approved strategy, coordinating all stakeholders involved in the process.
This may include business plan development, company incorporation, immigration application preparation, and ongoing project management.
Scope, timeline, and fees are defined based on the selected country, program, and business structure.
Execution starts only after a formal agreement.
