After years in Paris, he concluded that <strong>France no longer aligned with the lifestyle or the long-term future he wanted.<\/strong> With \u20ac5 million in liquid assets and \u20ac3 million in real estate, he wasn\u2019t looking for an escape, he was looking for a plan.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>We helped him obtain citizenship in Saint Kitts and Nevis through their Citizenship by Investment programme. His application was approved in five months, with no physical residency requirement. <strong>The move gave him something crucial: an exit strategy from Europe and a safety net in case of political instability.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>To formally end his French tax residency, we helped him <strong>eliminate his ties to France<\/strong>, restructured his holdings under a Luxembourg-based entity, and established him as a non-tax resident in France.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>For our client,<strong> this wasn\u2019t about avoiding tax, it was about ensuring clarity and control in an increasingly uncertain environment.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>The broader shift<\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>This case isn\u2019t unusual.<\/strong> At Savory &amp; Partners, we\u2019ve supported <strong>over 180 French clients through second residency or citizenship planning since 2016<\/strong>. The <strong>recent spike in interest<\/strong> hasn\u2019t been driven by panic or politics, but <strong>by a quiet recalibration<\/strong>. <strong>People are planning more seriously for what lies ahead.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>This year alone, France is projected to see a 6.7% increase in millionaire outflows<\/strong>. On its own, that\u2019s a modest figure.
