Investor & Private Client Mobility

International mobility offers a range of options — investment-linked residency, remote work frameworks, and long-term relocation pathways.

The challenge isn’t access, it’s understanding what actually fits, and what each option involves before committing.

Vela provides structured advisory for investors and private clients — helping you evaluate, compare, and plan international mobility options with clarity, not assumption.

Based in Nairobi, we work with regionally and globally mobile clients, offering an approach that balances opportunity, compliance considerations, and long-term planning.

What We Support

Investment-Linked Residency Pathways

We provide high-level advisory support for clients exploring investment-linked residency frameworks commonly referred to as “golden visa” programmes.

Our work includes:

• Explaining programme structures, eligibility considerations, and planning implications

• Comparing pathway types at a strategic level

• Coordinating introductions to appropriately licensed partners where formal processing is required

Our advisory scope focuses on helping clients understand options clearly before committing to a pathway.

Digital Nomad & Remote Residence Options

We support clients considering residence options designed for remote professionals, entrepreneurs, and globally mobile individuals.

This includes guidance on:

• Digital nomad and remote-work residence frameworks

• Suitability considerations based on lifestyle and income profile

• Long-term mobility planning beyond short-term stays

Private Client Relocation & Lifestyle Planning

We work with private clients and families planning international relocation or multi-jurisdictional living arrangements.

Support typically covers:

• Destination and lifestyle considerations

• Family-focused relocation planning

• Coordination of settlement and transition support

Our approach is discreet, structured, and aligned with each client’s longer-term objectives.

Long-Term Mobility & Cross-Border Planning

We advise clients seeking flexibility across jurisdictions for business, investment, or personal reasons.

This includes:

• Mobility planning aligned with personal and business interests

• Long-term residence and transition considerations

• Ongoing advisory coordination as circumstances evolve

Geographic Scope

Our advisory work commonly involves internationally recognised mobility frameworks in jurisdictions such as parts of Europe, the Middle East, and select global mobility hubs — including, for example, Portugal, Greece, Spain, the United Arab Emirates, and comparable programmes internationally.

Our work is advisory-led and relationship-driven. We focus on:

• Clear explanation of options and implications

• Structured planning rather than transactional execution

• Discreet coordination with trusted professional partners

• Ongoing support as client needs change

We do not promote pre-selected programmes or one-size-fits-all pathways.
Our role is to help you understand your options clearly before making a commitment.
