Henley & Partners announces the publication of the 5th edition of the essential guide to international residence and citizenship planning

Dubai, UAE - 3 February 2016: Henley & Partners, the global leader in residence and citizenship planning, today announced the launch of the 5th edition of the Global Residence and Citizenship Handbook (GRCH). This handbook is essential for wealthy individuals and their advisors, such as law firms, tax consultants, private banks and family offices, who are interested in international residence and citizenship.

Marco Gantenbein, Managing Partner of Henley & Partners in Dubai says, “With the number of expatriates living in the UAE, this handbook is a key tool in planning for the future. The annual GRCH covers all important aspects of residence rules, real estate planning, and many other internationally relevant topics. It also includes a section on Dubai, detailing the number of options for obtaining UAE residency and the key advantages it brings.”

In today's globalized world, individuals live and conduct business on an international scale, and the option of a second or even third residence or citizenship, and the freedom that comes with it, is enormously attractive. Countries themselves are also looking for new ways to generate growth, and have increasingly become focused on the benefits of offering investors residence or citizenship in return for some form of economic investment.

Over the years, Henley & Partners has emerged as the world's leading firm specialized in this particular area of practice. In response to this ever changing global landscape, the firm has released its 5th edition of the GRCH, which features relevant updates on all featured countries, and new chapters on residence-by-investment in Australia and Guernsey, citizenship-by-investment in Grenada, an updated Henley & Partners Visa Restrictions Index, and new sections on the Global Residence Programs Index and the Global Citizenship Programs Index.

The annual GRCH is written by Christian H. Kälin, a Swiss lawyer and Chairman at Henley & Partners, and one of the pioneers and leading authorities in international residence and citizenship planning.
