\"\"<\/a><\/div>

The massive volatility driven by Covid-19 has pushed the steady growth in investment migration into overdrive, with a nearly 50% increase in enquiries overall as the pandemic coursed around the globe in the six months to June 2020 compared to the same period last year. While the surge in interest shown by citizens of emerging economies such as India and Nigeria is somewhat predictable, a fascinating turn of events is the growing attention from nationals of leading developed nations. Most notable is America, with a dramatic 100% increase in enquiries from US citizens in the first six months of 2020 compared to the same period in 2019, along with significantly greater interest shown by Canadians and UK citizens.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

\u201cThe tumultuous events of 2020, including the unplanned pause during the Great Lockdown, have resulted in people from all walks of life re-evaluating their circumstances and reconsidering how they wish to conduct their lives and \u2014 for those fortunate enough \u2014 choosing where they want to live by opting for investment migration,\u201d says\u00a0Henley & Partners<\/a>\u00a0CEO\u00a0Dr. Juerg Steffen<\/a>. \u201cMany are taking stock and ensuring they are better prepared for the next pandemic or major global disruption. The relentless volatility in terms of both wealth and lifestyle has resulted in a significant shift in how alternative residence and citizenship are perceived by high-net-worth investors around the world.\u201d<\/p>\n

In terms of the total number of enquiries made in the first six months of 2020, Indian nationals outstripped all other nationalities by a long stretch. Henley & Partners received 96.5% more enquiries from Indian nationals than Nigerian nationals, who were placed second, followed by Pakistan and, startlingly, the US.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

In terms of quarterly growth in the numbers of enquiries between Q1 and Q2 2020, the sharpest rise was seen in Nigeria. Henley & Partners recorded an astonishing 185% increase in enquiries from Nigerian citizens between the first two quarters, and increases of 48%, 46%, and 40% from South African, Pakistani, and Bangladeshi nationals, respectively, while the growth in enquiries from Indian nationals was an impressive 28% \u2014 all on the back of healthy Q1 enquiry levels. Perhaps the most remarkable Covid-related shift, however, was the huge spike in enquiries from Americans along with growing interest from Canadian and UK nationals.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Commenting in the recently released\u00a0Henley Passport Index Q3 Report<\/a>, Assistant Professor of Sociology at Tel Aviv University in Israel, Prof. Dr. Yossi Harpaz, says the Covid-19 crisis has caused the world\u2019s premium passports to lose some of their shine. \u201cFor decades, visa policies were designed to keep out illegal immigrants, asylum seekers, and terrorists. Citizens of wealthy and democratic countries \u2014 including Canada, the US, and Western European nations \u2014 apparently posed no such risks and enjoyed extensive visa-free travel throughout the world. In the current crisis, a new category of risk has emerged: the spreader. Since the US and Western Europe were among the world\u2019s hardest hit areas, their citizens faced stringent mobility restrictions. This is, of course, a temporary situation, but in the long run it is likely to erode the prestige of EU and Western passports,\u201d predicts Prof. Harpaz.<\/p>\n

\u201cOnce \u2018nice-to-have\u2019 assets of convenience and privilege that enhanced travel freedom and provided vacation or second homes, alternative residence and citizenship have rapidly become \u2018must-have\u2019 essential assets, not just to survive, but to thrive in the 21st<\/sup>\u00a0century\u201d, says\u00a0Henley & Partners<\/a>\u00a0Group Head of Sales\u00a0Dominic Volek<\/a>, who points out that 19 of the G20 nations offer some form of mechanism to encourage inward investment in exchange for residence rights. The 20th member is the EU, and 60% of EU member states offer investment migration options.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Several countries that host investment migration programs rank high on prominent indexes such as the 2020 Global Peace Index (GPI), which measures the level of peacefulness in 163 states, the World Bank\u2019s 2020 Ease of Doing Business ranking of 190 economies, and Deep Knowledge Analytics\u2019 updated Covid-19 Regional Safety Assessment rank of 250 countries, regions, and territories that was released late last month. For those seeking the comfort of an alternative residence option in times of crisis,\u00a0New Zealand<\/a>\u00a0comes out on top, impressively ranking 1st<\/sup>\u00a0in both the GPI and Ease of Doing Business index and 2nd<\/sup>\u00a0in the Covid-19 Regional Safety Assessment index. Other secure alternatives for HNW families are\u00a0Singapore<\/a>, which ranks 7th<\/sup>\u00a0in the GPI, 2nd<\/sup>\u00a0in the Ease of Doing Business index, and 10th<\/sup>\u00a0in the Covid-19 Regional Safety Assessment rank, and\u00a0Australia<\/a>, which ranks 13th<\/sup>, 14th<\/sup>, and 6th<\/sup>\u00a0in the three indexes, respectively.<\/p>\n

In terms of alternative citizenship options in Europe, which has long been a bastion of stability and security,\u00a0Austria<\/a>\u00a0is the top option, ranking 4th<\/sup>\u00a0in the GPI, 27th<\/sup>\u00a0in the Ease of Doing Business index, and 8th<\/sup>\u00a0in the Covid-19 Regional Safety Assessment index, while\u00a0Montenegro<\/a>\u00a0ranks 69th<\/sup>\u00a0in the GPI, 50th<\/sup>\u00a0in the Ease of Doing Business index, and 83rd<\/sup>\u00a0in the Covid-19 Regional Safety Assessment index. The Global Peace Index omits the Caribbean small-island nations, but\u00a0St. Lucia<\/a>\u00a0ranks 93rd<\/sup>\u00a0in the Ease of Doing Business index and 127th<\/sup>\u00a0in the Covid-19 Regional Safety Assessment rank, making it the Caribbean program of choice for high-net-worth individuals (HNWI). Many affluent families are drawn to island nations due to their relatively small populations and the fact that they proved easier and quicker to lock down and secure in the current pandemic. Citizenship-by-investment in the Caribbean is a safe-harbor option favored by HNWI as a result.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Dr. Steffen concludes that as we plunge into the worst recession since the Great Depression, proactive HNWI who have invested in alternative residence or citizenship for their families are best placed to weather the prolonged storm that lies ahead. \u201cMany business owners, investors, and their families have realized that they can operate remotely and that there is no longer a need to be based in or close to the large financial city centers. In the post-Covid era, investment migration programs will be a reliable back-up plan, providing investors with unparalleled safety, security, stability, and opportunity, including access to major money markets. As a tried-and-tested hedge against volatility, securing alternative residence or citizenship is one of the safest, smartest, most sustainable investments you can make right now \u2014 an indispensable asset for many generations to come.\u201d<\/p>
