Relocation Services

Relocation of both businesses and persons is a time of opportunity to reposition  yourself most advantageously.  Most countries are also competing to attract talent and wealth.  Osiris has years of experience in assisting clients with the planning and execution of such a move.   This typically starts with an analysis of what the various possibilities are, both in terms of right to live and work, as well as with regards to lifestyle and family aspirations.

Osiris is then also well placed to manage both the exit out of the existing country as well as the entry into the new one.  This is both with regards to immigration formalities, exchange control if applicable, as well as tax planning both on exit and entry.

Typically, clients tend to focus on the more advantageous countries which would include Mauritius, United Kingdom, Malta, Portugal, Spain and others.  

Our office in Mauritius, in particular, has considerable experience in this regard.
