Why Prime Residency exists

Prime Residency was created for clients whose decisions are rarely about a visa alone.

Founded by Kristine Thomassen, the platform combines a legal background with more than a decade inside crypto, Web3, business development and cross-border client work. That perspective matters for founders, token holders, consultants, investors and families whose income, assets, banking and company structures do not sit neatly in one country.

The role is strategic and coordinative: clarifying practical routes, identifying when Cyprus may be the strongest fit, and preparing the right conversations with lawyers, tax advisers, property professionals, banking contacts and other qualified specialists where needed.

Prime Residency does not replace formal legal or tax advice, and it does not present Cyprus as the answer for every client. The purpose is to connect important residency decisions before they become expensive.

Strategy first. Cyprus-led where the facts support it.

Most mistakes happen before an application is filed: choosing a route before understanding tax residency, buying property without a wider plan, or building company and banking arrangements around assumptions that may not hold up.

Residency before relocation

We assess whether a residency route supports the client's tax, banking, family and business position before treating the move as a lifestyle decision.

Cyprus as a practical anchor

Cyprus is often a serious option for internationally mobile clients, but it is tested against the client's facts rather than assumed as the default answer.

Professional coordination

Where specialist input is needed, next steps can be coordinated with qualified lawyers, tax advisers, property professionals and other relevant specialists.

Built for borderless income, private wealth and jurisdictional reality.

Prime Residency is designed for clients who earn, invest or hold assets across borders and need a grounded view of how residency, tax position, company structure, banking and family requirements interact.

Founders and business owners

Clients with operating companies, distributed teams, exit planning or income that no longer belongs to one domestic market.

Crypto and token holders

People with digital assets, token events, treasury exposure or Web3 income who need residency decisions reviewed in context.

Consultants and advisers

Independent professionals with advisory or cross-border service income who need practical residency and banking clarity.

Investors and family offices

Private clients considering access, succession, asset location, reporting burden and a stable European base.

Non-EU families

Families seeking a European foothold for lifestyle, education, continuity, mobility and longer-term optionality.

Cyprus-route candidates

Clients assessing Cyprus tax residency, non-dom status, company structure, banking, substance or property-linked routes.

How we work.

The process is structured to make the client's current position visible before a route is recommended.

Understand the position

We start with the client's current residency, citizenships, family priorities, time spent in each country and immediate constraints.

Map the moving parts

Tax residency, income sources, digital assets, investment assets, company structure, banking, property needs and family requirements are reviewed together.

Compare practical routes

Relevant options are compared at a strategy level, with particular focus on whether Cyprus is a strong practical path or whether another route should be explored.

Coordinate next steps

Where the route requires implementation, Prime Residency helps organise the next conversations with qualified professionals rather than pretending to replace them.

Keep expectations clear

No route is positioned as guaranteed. Eligibility, tax treatment and implementation details depend on the client's facts and professional review.

Move with sequence

The aim is to avoid premature property, company, banking or relocation decisions and to sequence the work in a way that supports the wider plan.

Prime Residency and Prime Cyprus.

Prime Residency is the strategy layer. Prime Cyprus is the Cyprus-focused advisory and implementation platform.

Prime Residency helps clients compare routes and decide whether Cyprus should lead the plan. When the client's fit points toward Cyprus, Prime Cyprus provides the jurisdiction-specific advisory and implementation layer, including coordination around the local professionals and practical steps required.

This keeps strategic comparison separate from Cyprus-specific execution.
