Join Fragomen’s Private Client Practice for a live webinar exploring alternative residency pathways across the Gulf, Southeast Asia, and Latin America.

When it comes to residency by investment, destinations such as Portugal, Greece, the UAE, and the Caribbean often lead the conversation. However, many practical and high-value residency options available today are sometimes overlooked.

In this webinar Fragomen’s Leonor Echeverría, Managing Partner, Latin America & the Caribbean; Ali Haider, Partner; Christine Sperr, Destination Services Director – MENA, and Sean Connolly, Private Client Manager will discuss residency opportunities that may not be on every investor’s or family’s radar.

The session will examine alternative pathways across Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Oman, as well as Thailand, the Philippines, and emerging routes to permanent residence in Latin America. Beyond the programs themselves, our speakers will share practical insights on how to evaluate a destination, key factors to consider before making a move, and what to expect once residency has been secured.

This webinar is intended for investors, globally mobile individuals and families, private client advisors, family offices, and anyone interested in understanding alternative residency pathways and international mobility options.

As we anticipate a lot of interest in the event across a broad global base the webinar will be offered in two sessions:

Session 1
Wednesday, 22 July 2026

10:00 AM BRT (UTC-3/São Paulo)
2:00 PM BST (UTC+1/London)

5:00 PM GST (UTC+4/Dubai)
