Financial Planning For Expats On Work Visas.
Last week, I had a chance to sit down with the Plan First Wealth team.
Plan First Wealth is a US/UK wealth management firm that works with HNW British expats in America.
The conversation was basically a friendly exchange comparing notes with other expats in the space.
Our chat focused on how I work with immigrants (foreign nationals) on work visas, plus a few other areas of mutual interest.
It really came down to financial planning for expats on work visas and making the most of that opportunity.
Richard Taylor the founder of Plan First Wealth is a long-time British expat in the US.
Despite my many British connections, his journey is very different from mine, but there is one thing we both agree on.
There are many pitfalls and traps for foreign-born individuals or foreign nationals on work visas, especially based on your country of origin.
It’s best to reach out to a professional especially when starting out.
