S3E1 International Lawyers in Asia and Europe: A Conversation with Tom Wong at Friedland Law

Friedland Trelcat Bonnici is a full-service international law firm bridging Asia and Europe. The firm advises private clients and corporations on cross-border structuring, international business law, and residence and citizenship by investment.

We welcomed Tom Wong, Partner at Friedland Trelcat Bonnici, to The Golden Quarter Show. Tom heads US/Asia business development from Bangkok, with a focus on residence and citizenship planning for high-net-worth families and founders.

Key takeaways from our discussion:

• Outbound US demand is surging for second residence and citizenship — driven by political volatility, safety, remote-work mobility, and education planning.
• Europe still pulls: Portugal remains a leading EU residence path via funds, HQA, and D-7 visas, but evolving rules require careful diligence.
• New Zealand’s Active Investor Plus is regaining traction among ultra-wealthy Americans following 2025 rule relaxations.
• Asia as a lifestyle hub: Thailand’s Long-Term Resident (LTR) framework continues to attract professionals and retirees seeking long-stay stability.
• Do it right, not fast: Immigration, tax, banking, and asset positioning must be planned together to avoid costly mistakes.
