A new player in the Baltic business landscape is making a splash locally. Baltic Capital Partners (BCP), headquartered atop the tallest building in the Baltics, the Europa Tower in Vilnius, has quickly emerged as a significant conduit for culture and investment from the Australasian region into Lithuania – and by extension, Estonia and Latvia. Boasting the ability to obtain Residency Permits for qualifying clients, often in under 4 weeks, BCP has attracted newcomers to the region who are looking to invest in Europe or enjoy more of what it has to offer.
What sets BCP apart is its distinct focus: attracting high-net-worth individuals from Australia and New Zealand who are seeking a strategic entry point into the European Union. Through its flagship “Gateway to Europe” program, BCP facilitates rapid EU residency for clients while simultaneously introducing them to the many new economic advantages of the Baltic region.
“Our clients are generally retired, or successful professionals and angel investors looking to expand their footprint,” explains Aaron Banks, founder and CEO of Baltic Capital Partners. “They come here for residency, but often branch out to invest, partner, and build. Given the competitive tax rates in Lithuania, many clients also report significant savings in their global tax liability which often makes BCP’s services not only effectively self-funded, but profitable. It’s a win–win for them, the EU and for the Baltic region.”
The company’s value proposition seems compelling: low-document, fast-track residency, seamless company formation, and tailored support for market entry. Yet the biggest impact is likely to come from the clientele it attracts – individuals with capital, global experience, and a desire to actively contribute to the local economy. Many of these clients are real estate investors, founders of startups or angel investors exploring early-stage opportunities within the region’s growing ecosystem.
Lithuania, and Vilnius in particular, offer a natural fit. “Culturally, it feels familiar to Australians and New Zealanders,” says Banks. “The pace of life, access to nature, safety, ease of doing business, and widespread English fluency make it incredibly appealing.” Add to that the digitally advanced public infrastructure, and the decision becomes even easier.
The company has already helped a number of Australasian clients establish Lithuanian companies, take up residency, start investing or building out their business or retirement plans throughout the Baltics – and the wider European Union. The firm offers to manage the entire process – from immigration documentation and legal setup to banking introductions and integration into the local community.
Having arrived in Estonia 4 years ago, before settling on Lithuania as a launch pad, Banks explains: “We’re relatively new to the Baltics ourselves, so we bring fresh capital and global relationships into the area – that’s our unique value. Being Australasian ourselves, we speak the same language and make it a very soft and pleasant landing point for clients who are impressed that we can turn something so painful and stressful as a residency application into a low-cost, fast and pleasant experience. Through our VIP Gateway to Europe program, our clients get residency, usually within 4 weeks, and with it comes full borderless access to all the opportunities the EU can offer. They’re usually so happy with the outcome – and with Lithuania – they quickly turn their attention toward local lifestyle or business opportunities.”
With more Australasian clients, often fed up with local real estate prices, relatively high taxes and a slowing economy, now looking beyond traditional hubs like London or Berlin, the Baltics stand out as a more flexible and cost-effective base of operations within the EU. For local policymakers and economic stakeholders, this shift represents more than just individual relocations – it’s an injection of capital, innovation, and global perspective into the economy.
These activities are now also garnering political attention. Banks has an upcoming meeting with the Lithuanian Foreign Minister, Kestutis Budrys, at which he plans to discuss ways he feels Lithuania could promote itself even further to the Australasian market – in order to demonstrate the many lifestyle and business advantages the country has to offer as a Gateway to Europe.
The company may be a relative newcomer, but its model is already proving to be a high-value addition to the region – and to its clients. By positioning Lithuania as the front door to Europe for an underserved demographic, the company is opening new pathways for business development, foreign direct investment, and international collaboration.
In a rapidly evolving global landscape, agile partnerships like this one have the potential to redefine how regions like the Baltics engage with the world. And with each new residency granted, each property purchased, and each new company formed, Baltic Capital Partners seems well placed to write the next chapter in that story.
