At Lionsgate International, we integrate multi-generational permanent residency planning directly into your family office framework. We coordinate PR applications across age groups, structure succession vehicles that hold residency-qualifying investments, and centralize compliance reporting for all jurisdictions where your family holds status.
Speak with a specialist. No obligation.
Standard immigration advisory treats each family member as a separate file. This creates costly duplication, compliance gaps, and fragmented succession planning.
A family office–integrated approach solves this by treating the family as a single economic unit with coordinated residency objectives.
The same investment documented multiple times across separate files, multiplying costs and administrative overhead.
Different renewal dates, forgotten reporting obligations, and mismatched jurisdictional timelines create avoidable risk.
No clear mechanism for transferring qualifying assets to the next generation without jeopardising residency rights.
Failure to leverage group-based programs that cover extended families and reduce total capital deployment required.
Different family members have different timelines and eligibility profiles. Our coordination service includes:
| Family Member Category | Our Coordination Approach |
|---|---|
| Primary Investor (Parents) | Structure the core investment vehicle, manage primary application, and establish the residency anchor for the family. |
| Spouse / Partner | Ensure seamless documentation of relationship and financial interdependence for co-application. |
| Minor Children | Register within parent's application; plan for independent status upon aging out of dependency eligibility. |
| Young Adults (18–29) | Secure coverage while leveraging student or financial dependency status to extend program coverage. |
| Parents / Grandparents | Add as dependents where program permits; otherwise structure parallel applications to ensure full family coverage. |
| Siblings | Advise on alternative pathways or strategic immigration stacking to align with the family's broader residency map. |
We map your family tree and identify which members can be covered, minimising duplication and capital deployment.
Includes parents of both spouses without age limitation. Does not typically extend to grandparents. One of Europe's most family-inclusive programs.
Permits inclusion of spouse and dependent children. Parents may be considered in limited cases subject to demonstrated dependency and program conditions.
High-bar framework requiring demonstrable financial self-sufficiency and accommodation in Monaco. Family inclusion assessed case-by-case under stringent due diligence.

A recurring challenge: the investment securing residency is often owned personally by the first-generation applicant. Upon death or asset transfer, residency may be jeopardised.
We design residency-compatible succession vehicles that hold qualifying investments in compliant legal structures — enabling seamless inter-generational transfer.
Hold the qualifying investment in a legal structure that can be transferred without breaking program rules.
Comply with program ownership requirements
Facilitate inter-generational transfer
| Vehicle Typ | Description | Residency Program Compatibility |
|---|---|---|
| Single-purpose holding company | A company whose sole asset is the qualifying real estate or investment | Permitted in Greece, Portugal, Malta (subject to conditions) |
| Private foundation (civil law) | A legal entity holding investment assets for family benefit; common in Panama, Liechtenstein, Malta | Suitable for Caribbean CBI; must verify for European PR programs |
| Revocable living trust | Trust structure where grantor retains control; allows seamless successor trustee appointment | Varies by program; generally more accepted in common-law jurisdictions (US, Caribbean) |
| Family limited partnership | Partners hold interests that can be transferred to heirs; the partnership owns the qualifying asset | More complex; typically requires advance approval from immigration authorities |
| Multi-generational will with substitution mechanism | Legal document naming successor(s) who automatically inherit the qualifying asset with right to maintain residency | Backup solution where direct vehicle transfer is not permitted |
We review each program’s specific legal framework and design a vehicle that maintains compliance while enabling seamless succession.
