We are pleased to announce that Ascot Advisory has been recognised in HNW Ranking's Top 20 Residency & Global Mobility Advisory Firms 2026, placing us among an elite group of firms shaping the international residency and citizenship advisory landscape.
Ascot Advisory has been included in the Tier III: Boutique Residency & Global Mobility Advisory Firms category, alongside a select group of specialist firms recognised for their contribution to the investment migration sector. For our clients, this recognition is further confirmation that they are working with advisers who are genuinely respected within the industry.
What This Recognition Means for Our Clients
For high-net-worth individuals navigating residency by investment, citizenship by investment, and international tax residency planning, the credibility of the adviser they choose matters enormously. Obtaining a golden visa, securing a second passport, or restructuring tax residency ahead of a cross-border relocation involves significant financial, legal, and personal considerations. Independent recognition of this kind provides one further measure of assurance that Ascot Advisory operates to the standards this type of advisory work demands.
Being named alongside globally recognised firms validates the quality we hold ourselves to — not in terms of scale, but in depth of expertise, rigour of process, and the seriousness with which we approach every client mandate.
A London-Based Boutique Firm with Global Reach
Ascot Advisory is headquartered in London, one of the world's foremost centres for international private client advice. We advise clients across Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and beyond on a range of programmes including European golden visas, Caribbean citizenship by investment, UAE residency, and broader global mobility strategies.
What distinguishes us is not scale, but specialisation. Our team brings rare ex-government due diligence expertise to every mandate, giving clients an informed, clear-eyed perspective on the programmes they are considering. We believe that well-informed clients make better decisions, and our role is to ensure they have everything they need to make the right one.
Why Demand for Residency and Citizenship Planning Is Growing
The HNW Ranking report notes that demand for residency and citizenship planning remains stable in 2026, with high-net-worth individuals continuing to prioritise geographic diversification and international mobility. It also highlights that increasing regulatory scrutiny across the sector has raised the importance of experienced advisory firms capable of navigating complex compliance environments.
The drivers bringing clients to us are varied and urgent. For UK-based clients, the abolition of non-domiciled status and inheritance tax changes have made alternative residency planning a pressing financial priority. But beyond the fiscal, geopolitical instability, most acutely felt across the Middle East, has made a second residency or citizenship something far more fundamental: a Plan B that ensures a family's options remain open, whatever the world brings.
A Note of Thanks
This recognition would not have been possible without the clients and professional intermediaries who have placed their trust in us. We do not take that trust lightly, and it remains the measure by which we assess everything we do.
