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.

After experiencing an oil and real-estate boom, Dubai is now recognised as the financial capital of the United Arab Emirates (UAE). It is one of the emerging countries, at the forefront as one of the new “lands of opportunities”, and in the present world, which is globalised and multicultural, Dubai is perfectly suited to succeed.
As a result of its colossal achievements including the tallest building in the world, the largest man-made archipelago in the world among many other monumental achievements, Dubai is now seen as the most cosmopolitan city in the world with 90% of its residents being foreign.
Dubai’s economy has expanded at a rapid pace, thanks to Expo 2020, and is expected to expand even faster in 2022.
Transformation into a Metropolis
The favourable business environment created by one of the world’s fastest-growing economies combined with the government’s decades-long market-friendly policies has helped to establish Dubai as the business, finance, and commercial centre of the region.
According to Dubai Chambers, the economy is expected to see sustained economic growth of 4.2% in 2022, accelerating from last year’s 2.1% growth, based both on a positive outlook for tourism and retail activity in the coming years.
The non-oil real gross domestic product (GDP) is expected to increase by 3.9% in the next few years. This is being attributed to an increase in public spending, a strong economy, higher employment, and a better business climate due to EXPO 2020.
Since the costs related to doing business are relatively low in Dubai as a result of its strategic location, it serves as the biggest re-exporting hub in the Middle East. Those businesses seeking new ways to accelerate their growth will be able to get a benefit from the assistance of Dubai in setting up and scaling up their operations.
The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is situated in the Southeast of the Arabian Peninsula, bordering Oman and Saudi Arabia.
