🌍🛂 JURIS Global Perspective | Residency, Investment and Mobility: Opportunities to Watch
🌍 This week’s JURIS Global Perspective looks at the shifting landscape of international mobility: the UK’s investor visa debate, growing interest in Paraguay, Revolut’s service outage and China’s offshore tax rules. Four developments, one message: a global strategy needs to connect residency, investment, tax and banking.
This week’s developments show why a well-designed international strategy matters. Residency proposals, new investment opportunities and access to banking services are increasingly connected in the decisions facing entrepreneurs, investors and internationally mobile families.
1. 🇬🇧 UK: the investor visa debate remains open
21 October 2026. According to the Financial Times, the UK’s upcoming Budget will not include a proposal to reinstate an investor visa. The proposal, which remains under discussion, would have required a minimum investment of £5 million in areas linked to growth and innovation. The debate shows that attracting international capital remains an important issue for the UK.
JURIS Global Perspective. There’s a certain irony here: the UK changed its non-dom regime amid forecasts that thousands of wealthy residents might leave. Now it is reportedly exploring a new investor route to attract international capital. First, “perhaps it’s time to go”; now, “would you consider coming back with £5 million?” A distinctly British plot twist.
2. 🇵🇾Paraguay: European investors are taking a closer look
20 October 2026. Paraguay’s Ministry of Industry and Commerce reported interest from European business groups considering the country as a production base for reaching Mercosur and other markets. The projects mentioned included an investment of approximately US$150 million by Spain’s Costa Group in the pork processing sector.
JURIS Global Perspective. Paraguay deserves consideration from clients exploring a presence in Latin America. We connect residency planning with each client’s wider objectives, including investment, business activity, international flexibility and personal circumstances.
