Why plan again after immigrating?
A new status can change your tax residence, reporting obligations and how wealth passes on. Arrangements that suited you before may not suit you now.
Four areas to review
| Area | Questions |
|---|---|
| Tax | How income, dividends and gains are taxed; whether overseas accounts must be reported |
| Asset allocation | Whether the portfolio still fits; currency and regional mix |
| Succession | Whether wills, trusts and family office structures meet the new legal requirements |
| Children | Education funding, where they’ll study, and buying property there later |
Timing
| When | What |
|---|---|
| Before immigrating | Review asset structure and tax impact, ideally before status takes effect |
| When status is granted | Update account details and reporting |
| After moving | Review investments and succession regularly |
Common mistakes
- Discovering after the fact that large overseas assets must be reported.
- A succession structure that doesn’t fit the new legal position.
- A portfolio concentrated in one currency.
