Investment migration: an opportunity to improve and gain trust

Investment migration — a $21.4 billion global industry — helps create jobs, protect climate-vulnerable nations, boost infrastructure investments, widen social programs and lead to economic growth. But it’s not without risks — proven cases of things gone wrong have led to growing concerns of misuse. Yet it’s the same concerns that open the door for industry, the EU and the wider community to introduce harmonized regulation in our increasingly globalized world. 

Investment migration is a form of legal migration used by over 80 countries around the world, including several EU countries, the U.S., Australia, New Zealand and Caribbean nations. It allows individuals to gain citizenship or residence rights in return for investments in their host countries. The investment frameworks differ based on countries’ needs, but they can encourage entrepreneurship or take the form of real estate purchases, donations to national development funds or business investments.
