Global Residence and Citizenship Programs 2018–2019 provides the most comprehensive, systematic analysis and benchmarking of the world’s leading residence- and citizenship-by-investment programs. A distinguished panel of independent experts – immigration and citizenship lawyers, economists, country risk experts, academic researchers, and other specialists – have created the Global Residence Program Index and the Global Citizenship Program Index as part of the report. These two indexes have become the global standard by which to gauge and reflect on the relative worth of residence and citizenship programs around the world as they analyze a broad range of factors to produce an overall global view and ranking of the different investment migration programs on offer. These indexes are highly relevant not only to those who are interested in alternative residence or citizenship options, but also to industry professionals, private client advisors, and others with an interest in the subject, as well as to governments. The report includes analyses of factors such as immigration law, taxation, and quality of living as well as transparency and risk and compliance issues and conveys scores and ranks using clear infographics and figures complemented with concise explanations. Updated with new expert commentary, Global Residence and Citizenship Programs 2018–2019 is an invaluable tool for anyone with an interest in investment migration.
