  • Intermark Global is a top-tier, professional agency. I was looking for investment opportunities in Thailand, and they provided me with several promising locations, giving me detailed consultations on each one. In the end, I chose Phuket, and I couldn't be happier cuz my investment turned out to be a huge success. Special thanks to Gleb Gurin for his expert guidance!

  • My goal was not just to buy an apartment in Dubai but also to relocate my consulting business here. I had plenty of options to choose from, but I decided to go with Intermark because of their extensive market experience. And I’m so glad I did! They didn’t just help me quickly find the perfect apartment — they also guided me through the legal and organizational aspects of setting up and growing a business in Dubai. Even now, I still reach out to the Intermark team for advice on certain matters, and they’ve always been super helpful 👍

FAQ

What is a residence permit?

A residence permit is an official document that allows a foreign national to live in a country for a specific period. It grants the holder the right to stay, work, or study in the country, depending on the type of permit. Residence permits are typically issued for a set time and may need to be renewed.

If you wish to continue your stay in the country, the next stage is obtaining a permanent residency.

What are the benefits of a EU residence permit?

A residence permit, issued by a member country of the European Union, offers several benefits, including the right to live, work, and study in an EU country. It provides access to high-quality healthcare, education, and social services. Holders can travel freely within the Schengen Area, which includes most EU countries, without additional visas.

Do I need to reside in the chosen country to extend my residence permit?

In most cases, you need to reside in the chosen country to extend your residence permit, but each country has different rules regarding your stay. Some countries allow temporary absences or certain exceptions, and it depends on the country policy, the residence permit type you hold and many other regulations.

Do I need to pay taxes in the chosen country?

You are usually required to pay taxes in the chosen country of residence, especially if you live and work in the country. Tax laws vary from country to country, a lot of countries have tax treaties that prevent double taxation. If you're a temporary resident or plan to spend part of the year abroad, your tax obligations might differ.
