European\u00a0residence<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0citizenship<\/a>\u00a0by investment programs continue to dominate the top spots of global wealth advisory firm\u00a0Henley & Partners<\/a>\u2019\u00a0annual rankings of the most sought-after investment migration programs in the world.\u00a0Malta<\/a>\u00a0holds onto 1st<\/sup>\u00a0place in the 2024\u00a0Global Citizenship Program Index<\/a>\u00a0as it has done for nine consecutive years, while the\u00a0Portugal Golden Residence Permit Program<\/a>\u00a0retains top spot on the\u00a0Global Residence Program Index<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The two indexes \u2014 featured in the 2024 edition of the\u00a0Investment Migration Programs<\/i><\/a>\u00a0<\/i>report, one of Henley & Partners\u2019 annual flagship publications \u2014 offer a systematic analysis and comprehensive benchmarking of the world\u2019s most attractive\u00a0residence<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0citizenship<\/a>\u00a0by investment programs, providing the gold standard in the sector. This year\u2019s edition includes a total of 39 programs, representing the most relevant of over 100 programs worldwide. These have been appraised by a panel of independent experts including leading academic researchers, country risk specialists, economists, independent expert immigration and citizenship lawyers, and other specialists, who consider a broad range of pertinent factors. Interactive\u00a0digital<\/a>\u00a0comparisons<\/a>\u00a0of the programs are also available, enabling global investors and wealthy families to select what matters most to them when weighing up their options.<\/p>\n

Dr. Christian H. Kaelin<\/a>, international immigration and citizenship law expert and Chairman of Henley & Partners, says\u00a0Investment Migration Programs 2024<\/i><\/a>\u00a0is essential for all those interested in keeping up to date with developments in the investment migration sector or considering residence or citizenship by investment as options for unlocking global access and opportunity. \u201cThe publication is important not only for private clients and their advisors and other wealth management professionals, but equally for government policy makers looking to manage investment migration programs to achieve greater fiscal autonomy and economic growth. In this era of heightened global volatility, nation states are using residence and citizenship by investment programs as an innovative financing tool to fund national or regional social and infrastructure projects as well as development initiatives that mitigate sustainability risks, to the benefit of their citizens and residents.\u201d<\/p>\n

Citizenship programs: Malta reigns supreme<\/b><\/p>\n

The\u00a0Global Citizenship Program Index<\/a>\u00a0ranks 13 programs, with the strategically located European nation of\u00a0Malta<\/a>\u00a0scoring 77 out of 100 and taking top honors once again. Malta\u2019s Granting of Citizenship for Exceptional Services by Direct Investment Regulations allow for the granting of citizenship by a certificate of naturalization to foreign individuals and their families who contribute to the country\u2019s economic development. This is possible following a 36-month residence period (or 12 months by exception).\u00a0Malta\u2019s original citizenship program was designed by Henley & Partners in 2013\u20132014 and went on to become one of the most successful such programs in the world. Retaining 2nd<\/sup>\u00a0place with a score of 74 is\u00a0Austria\u2019s<\/a>\u00a0premium citizenship by investment offering, which requires applicants to make a substantial contribution to the Austrian economy. Three Caribbean island nations tie in 3rd<\/sup>\u00a0position, each scoring 70: the\u00a0Antigua and Barbuda Citizenship by Investment Program<\/a>,\u00a0the\u00a0Grenada Citizenship by Investment Program<\/a>,\u00a0and the\u00a0St. Lucia Citizenship by Investment Program<\/a>\u00a0all offer attractive\u00a0real estate<\/a>-linked investment routes and fund options. Antigua also offers alternative business investment options or investors can make a non-refundable contribution to the University of the West Indies.<\/p>\n

Another two Caribbean nations make it into the Top 5 \u2014 the\u00a0St. Kitts and Nevis Citizenship by Investment Program<\/a>\u00a0in 4th<\/sup>\u00a0place with a score of 68, followed closely by the\u00a0Dominica Citizenship by Investment Program<\/a>,\u00a0which scores 67 and shares 5th<\/sup>\u00a0place with the increasingly popular\u00a0T\u00fcrkiye Citizenship by Investment Program<\/a>. T\u00fcrkiye has multiple routes to citizenship, including a\u00a0real estate<\/a>\u00a0option, and as a major transcontinental country, provides investors with easy access to Asian, European, and Middle Eastern markets.<\/p>\n

Sharing the 6th<\/sup>\u00a0spot on the index are the\u00a0Egypt Citizenship by Investment Program<\/a>\u00a0and the\u00a0Jordan Citizenship by Investment Program<\/a>, each scoring 65. The lower ranks are occupied by\u00a0the\u00a0North Macedonia Citizenship by Investment Program<\/a>\u00a0in 7th<\/sup>\u00a0place, scoring 64, Vanuatu 8th<\/sup>\u00a0with 62, and Cambodia in 9th<\/sup>\u00a0place with a score of 53.<\/p>\n

Residence programs: Portugal in prime position<\/b><\/p>\n

Europe also prevails in the 2024\u00a0Global Residence Program Index<\/a>, with programs on the continent occupying the Top 5 positions. The\u00a0Portugal Golden Residence Permit Program<\/a>\u00a0ranks 1st<\/sup>\u00a0overall out of 26 programs with a score of 75 out of 100. Each scoring 73, the\u00a0Austria Private Residence Program<\/a>\u00a0shares 2nd<\/sup>\u00a0place with the Mediterranean\u2019s rising star \u2014 the\u00a0Greece Golden Visa Program<\/a>, followed closely by the\u00a0Swiss Residence Program<\/a>\u00a0on 72 \u2014 an investment option developed by Henley & Partners, which combines private residence with the Swiss forfait tax provisions.<\/p>\n

Italy\u2019s Residence by Investment Program<\/a>\u00a0is joint 4th<\/sup>\u00a0with the\u00a0UK\u2019s Innovator Founder Visa<\/a>\u00a0each scoring 71. The only Top 5 program not in Europe is the\u00a0Canada<\/a>\u00a0Start-Up Visa Program, which scores 69 and shares the 5th<\/sup>\u00a0spot with another European favorite that is attracting a great deal of attention, the\u00a0Spain Residence by Investment Program<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Two prime wealth hubs are joint-6th<\/sup>\u00a0with scores of 66 \u2014 the\u00a0UAE<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Luxembourg<\/a>, with the Asian powerhouse\u00a0Singapore<\/a>\u00a0in 7th<\/sup>\u00a0place scoring 65. Next are\u00a0Australia<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Jersey<\/a>, which share 8th<\/sup>\u00a0position with scores of 64, and the\u00a0Malta<\/a>\u00a0Permanent Residence Program and\u00a0New Zealand<\/a>\u2019s Active Investor Plus Visa score 62, as does\u00a0Panama\u2019s golden visa<\/a>, placing the latter three countries in joint 9th\u00a0<\/sup>place.\u00a0The\u00a0USA\u2019s<\/a>\u00a0score of 61 sees it rounding off the Top 10 list in 2024.<\/p>\n

Three diverse territories share the 11th<\/sup>\u00a0spot this year:\u00a0Hong Kong<\/a>,\u00a0Monaco<\/a>, and South Korea, all with scores of 60, while the\u00a0Cyprus Permanent Residence Program<\/a>\u00a0ranks 12th<\/sup>\u00a0scoring 59.\u00a0Latvia\u2019s Residence by Investment Program<\/a>\u00a0shares 13th<\/sup>\u00a0place with\u00a0Thailand\u2019s Privilege Residence Program<\/a>, each scoring 58, and Thailand\u2019s neighbor,\u00a0Malaysia<\/a>, ranks 14th<\/sup>\u00a0with a score of 50. The 15th<\/sup>\u00a0place is shared by Africa\u2019s two residence options, the\u00a0Mauritius Residence by Investment Program<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Namibia Residence by Investment<\/a>, which each score 49.<\/p>\n

Domicile diversification a top priority<\/b><\/p>\n

Dr. Juerg Steffen<\/a>, CEO of Henley & Partners, says robust comparative analyses and benchmarking tools such as the\u00a0Global Residence Program Index<\/a>\u00a0and the\u00a0Global Citizenship Program Index<\/a>\u00a0are essential for investors as well as governments navigating the current landscape. \u201cAcquiring alternative residence and\/or citizenship by participating in reputable investment migration programs enables greater flexibility and participation in the world\u2019s leading economies, as well as optionality, which is now an indispensable part of any family\u2019s insurance policy for the 21st<\/sup>\u00a0century. The more jurisdictions a family can access, the more diversified its assets, the lower its exposure to country-specific, regional, and global volatility, and the more sustainable it will be over the long term.\u201d<\/p>\n

Last year, US-Americans were the top nationality applying for alternative residence and citizenship options through Henley & Partners, and this trend has continued into the first quarter of 2024. This year is also projected to be a record breaker in terms of millionaire migration according to the\u00a0Henley Private Wealth Migration Report<\/a>, with 128,000 high-net-worth individuals forecast to move to a new country, compared to the 120,000 who did so last year, surpassing the pre-pandemic high of 110,000.<\/p>\n

\u201cAlong with our\u00a0Henley Ultimate Portfolio<\/a>\u00a0tool, which allows individuals to build portfolios of complementary residences and citizenships to unlock global jurisdictional access and opportunity, the two digital indexes are indispensable resources that assist wealthy investors to support them with data-driven information to future-proof their wealth and legacy for generations to come,\u201d concludes Dr. Steffen.<\/p>\n
