Citizenship by investment

In a world shaped by uncertainty and change, one trend is quietly gaining global momentum: securing a second passport. With rising geopolitical tensions, financial unpredictability, and stricter visa policies, individuals and families across continents are re-evaluating what security and freedom truly mean. As 2025 unfolds, the demand for citizenship by investment is surging—and leading the charge is Savory & Partners, a trusted, government-approved firm helping clients navigate the journey to global mobility.

A Turning Point in Global Mobility

The beginning of 2025 saw continued economic slowdowns in several regions, political instability in parts of Europe and the Middle East, and shifting immigration policies in traditionally open countries. These developments have prompted high-net-worth individuals to future-proof their families’ lives through second citizenship.

A second passport is no longer a luxury—it’s a necessity for those seeking financial diversification, enhanced travel freedom, and better educational and healthcare opportunities for the next generation.

Who’s Applying and Why?

Savory & Partners has seen a sharp increase in interest from individuals in regions such as the Middle East, South Africa, Russia, and Asia. Common motivations include:

  • Political security and peace of mind.
  • Greater global mobility, especially for business.
  • Access to world-class healthcare and education.
  • Strategic wealth planning and tax advantages.

Whether it’s a Lebanese family securing a second citizenship for their children’s future or a tech entrepreneur in Asia seeking global business access, the motivations are as diverse as the applicants themselves.

Caribbean & European Programs in the Spotlight

Recent updates to Caribbean programs like St. Kitts and Nevis have made headlines, with stricter due diligence processes and investment thresholds ensuring credibility and exclusivity. European programs—such as Malta’s or the Greece Golden Visa—continue to attract attention for their lifestyle perks and access to the Schengen Zone.

Savory & Partners stays ahead of these developments, offering clients up-to-date guidance and exclusive insights tailored to their goals.

Second Citizenship: A Legacy for the Future

For families, a second passport means more than just easier travel—it’s an investment in freedom. Parents are increasingly viewing citizenship by investment as a legacy asset, opening doors to international universities, dual-market business growth, and stability in times of crisis.
