The session brought together legal professionals and experts in immigration and EU law to discuss the most relevant developments affecting international mobility and residency planning.
Key topics included:
- The impact of the updated Schengen Border Code on cross-border movement within the EU.
- The end of the Golden Visa and the shift to stricter residency requirements.
- The new EU migration and asylum framework within the Schengen Area.
- The growing trend of requiring physical presence and tax residency in Spain for third-country nationals seeking to benefit from the new immigration regulations.
- Legal and strategic implications for the free movement of people, capital, and services across the EU.
The conference underscored the importance of anticipating legal changes and adapting to a regulatory environment that increasingly demands stronger ties to the host country.
The international mobility of people, capital, and businesses requires a careful and detailed approach to each aspect, as well as a thorough understanding of the potential legal consequences. This includes not only selecting the most appropriate procedures for obtaining residence permits, but also considering the incorporation of complex business structures, the protection of family-owned businesses operating both locally and internationally, as well as the movement of capital and corporate succession.
Effective strategic planning in these areas is essential to ensure maximum legal and financial security in the face of evolving regulations.At Fabregat Perulles Sales, we help you understand the legal implications of international mobility at every stage of the process, in order to optimize your resources, efforts, and time.
