Top Jurisdictions for Secondary Citizenship by Investment

Passport

In an increasingly interconnected and uncertain world, acquiring secondary citizenship has become a strategic necessity for many high-net-worth individuals (HNWIs), entrepreneurs, and global investors. Whether driven by the need for global mobility, asset protection, political stability, or expanded business access, Citizenship by Investment (CBI) programs offer a legitimate and efficient pathway to obtaining a second passport.

At EM Global Consulting, we specialize in helping discerning clients navigate the complex landscape of international citizenship programs. In this blog, we explore the top jurisdictions for CBI in 2025, and how EM Global plays a vital role in aligning citizenship opportunities with your personal and business objectives.

Why Citizenship by Investment?

Citizenship by Investment (CBI) is more than a travel convenience—it is a strategic decision that empowers individuals with greater freedom, security, and opportunity. Here’s why CBI is increasingly becoming a vital part of wealth and international mobility planning:

  1. Global Mobility & Travel Freedom

CBI allows investors to acquire a passport that provides visa-free or visa-on-arrival access to 100–190+ countries, depending on the jurisdiction. This is especially valuable for:

  • Entrepreneurs and executives who require swift international travel for business.
  • Citizens of politically or economically restricted countries seeking greater access to Europe, the UK, Asia, and the Americas.
  • Families seeking ease of travel for education, medical care, or lifestyle purposes.
  1. Economic & Political Diversification – Secondary citizenship offers an insurance policy against geopolitical instability, economic volatility, or legal uncertainty in a person’s country of origin.
  2. Favorable Tax Planning & Asset Protection is beneficial for global investors, digital entrepreneurs, crypto holders, and multinational business owners looking to legally optimize their tax exposure and protect wealth.
  3. Expanded Business Access to new markets and banking relationships in more stable jurisdictions and qualify investors for residency or treaty-based visas.
  4. Family Legacy & Generational Planning – CBI programs allow investors to include family members (spouse, children, sometimes siblings or parents), and often provide citizenship that is transferable to future generations, better education and healthcare access in developed countries & Social mobility and a diversified future for children.
