Client Success Stories

Success Stories - A safe and bright future

The problem

Our Indian client, a business owner and single parent was looking for long-term residency in a country that would ensure quality education and safety for his daughter. With a successful business set-up in his home country, he could not consider relocating as it would limit his growth opportunities. At the same time, he wanted to secure a bright future for his daughter ensuring world-class education but was also wary about her well-being and safety. Above all, recently divorced, it was challenging for the client to procure documents for his daughter.

The solution

When the client approached Savory & Partners, we considered the many sentiments involved including that of a father, a dedicated businessman and a single parent. We understood his requirement and prepared a strategy that would not only serve his personal life positively but would see his business grow by leaps.

We recommended Portugal, not just for the simplicity of obtaining a residence permit but its exceptional education system and healthcare. Portugal is known for its outstanding higher education institutions.

Portugal has a lot of different immigration options available. The passive income - the D7 visa, the newly christened Digital Nomad Visa and the option that is tailor-made for businessowners - the Portuguese D2 visa.

Our client could fulfill his residency requirements while also maintaining an active management role in his company without worrying about spending too much time outside of Portugal.

With residential flexibility of the Golden Visa, his daughter could relocate to Portugal immediately and he could fulfil his residency requirements while also maintaining an active management role in his company back home without worrying about spending too much time outside of Portugal. As of 2021, Portugal is globally ranked in the top ten in terms of ease of registering a company. Meaning our client would not only go ahead and bring his existing business to Portugal but could venture into new business opportunities across Europe.

Approaching Savory & Partners to undertake his residency application ensured that the client would have all the necessary documents for himself and his daughter ready on time. Our agents oversaw that all requirements for a successful due diligence were also fulfilled.

About Nauru

Nauru, an unspoiled treasure in the heart of the Pacific Ocean, invites travellers to experience the charm of a destination unlike any other. This island nation, part of the captivating Micronesia region, offers an authentic escape where natural beauty, rich culture, and a warm, welcoming spirit come together. With its pristine beaches, crystal-clear waters, and serene landscapes, Nauru is perfect for those seeking tranquillity far from the usual tourist trails.

Once known as Pleasant Island, Nauru has a rich heritage that dates back over 3,000 years. The island’s name, derived from the Nauruan word “Naoero,” reflects its distinct identity, rooted in traditions that have been preserved through generations.

In the late 19th century, Nauru became a prized colonial possession due to its vast phosphate deposits, which played a pivotal role in its economy. It was administered successively by Germany, Australia, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom before achieving independence in 1968.

From a business perspective, Nauru presents opportunities for those looking to invest in sustainable industries. Its location in the Pacific offers potential for partnerships in renewable energy, particularly solar power, as the island seeks to address its environmental challenges and reduce reliance on imported fuel.

Where is Nauru?

Nauru is a unique island nation located in the heart of the Pacific Ocean, just south of the equator. Part of the enchanting Micronesia region, it sits northeast of Australia and west of the Marshall Islands.
