ServicesHousehold staffing, schools, residency and trusted advisors — the quiet infrastructure of international family life.

Family Office, Education & Relocation

Behind every smoothly-run international family is invisible infrastructure. Request VIP builds it: estate managers and private chefs, school placement from London to Switzerland, relocation and residency programmes, and introductions to legal and tax advisors who answer quickly and speak plainly.

Household staffing

Estate managers, butlers, private chefs, nannies, drivers and security — sourced, vetted, reference-checked and placed.

Education planning

Private and boarding school strategy, applications and tutoring for the UK, Switzerland, Monaco and beyond.

Relocation & residency

Golden Visa and residency programmes, citizenship advisory and the practical move itself — schools to shipping.

Trusted professional network

Introductions to vetted lawyers, tax advisors, private bankers and family-office specialists in each jurisdiction.

Staff who fit the family

Hiring for a private household is unlike corporate recruitment: chemistry, discretion and longevity matter as much as skill. We search through closed networks, verify references personally, arrange working trials and structure contracts properly — then stay involved so small frictions never become departures.

Moving countries without chaos

A relocation touches visas, schools, housing, healthcare, banking and staff — usually all at once, usually on a deadline. We sequence the whole programme with local specialists in Monaco, Dubai, London, Switzerland and Southern Europe, so the family arrives to a life that already works.

The process

How it works.

Map the need

Family composition, homes, timeline and what must change — staff, schools, country, structure.

Meet the candidates

Shortlisted staff, schools or advisors with full dossiers; interviews and visits arranged around you.

Settle in, supported

Placements managed, paperwork completed, follow-up scheduled — the infrastructure quietly holds.

FAQ

How are household staff vetted?

Identity, right-to-work, criminal-record and credit checks, plus personally-taken references from previous households and, where appropriate, psychometric and driving assessments.

Can you help with boarding school admissions in the UK or Switzerland?

Yes — school strategy, registrations (some lists close years ahead), entrance-exam tutoring and interview preparation, plus guardianship arrangements.

Which residency programmes do you cover?

Monaco, UAE, Portugal, Greece, Italy, Malta and others through licensed partners — chosen for your tax, travel and family situation, not a brochure.

Do you replace our family office?

No — we complement it. Many family offices use us as their lifestyle and staffing arm; for families without one, we introduce the right professionals to build the structure.
