Executive Summary

2025 was a year of steady progress, renewed confidence, and thoughtful evolution in global mobility. Interest in Golden Visas and residency pathways continued to grow, while conversations became more intentional and forward looking. As we look forward to 2026, the outlook remains positive for those who value preparation, alignment, and informed decision making.

A More Intentional Approach to Global Planning

As 2025 comes to a close, global mobility stands on stronger footing than ever. What was once viewed as a secondary consideration has become an integrated element of long-term planning for families, entrepreneurs, and investors worldwide.

A Shift in Client Priorities

Interest in Golden Visa and residency by investment programs remained strong, yet the focus evolved. Families began asking how mobility decisions aligned with lifestyle goals, education planning, and broader wealth strategies. This thoughtful shift led to greater confidence and more enduring outcomes.

Program Refinements and Greater Clarity

Many jurisdictions used 2025 to refine their programs. Adjustments to investment thresholds, clearer eligibility standards, and stronger processing frameworks helped improve transparency and consistency. These developments tend to favor well prepared applicants supported by experienced advisors.

Expanding Pathways and Broader Awareness

Citizenship by descent gained momentum as families explored meaningful ties to their heritage. Residency options without immediate relocation requirements appealed to globally mobile professionals. Investors also showed growing interest in regulated, fund-based solutions aligned with long term planning.

More Holistic Conversations

Beyond the programs themselves, discussions became more comprehensive. Families and advisors focused on education, lifestyle flexibility, and long-term security. Global mobility increasingly complemented legal, tax, and estate planning conversations rather than existing in isolation.

Looking Ahead to 2026

The year ahead presents a positive and opportunity rich environment. Demand remains strong and increasingly informed. Governments continue to welcome high quality applicants who approach the process with preparation and foresight.

A Thoughtful Path Forward

For those considering a second residency or citizenship, 2026 offers an ideal opportunity to explore options calmly and deliberately. Global mobility is not about urgency. It is about readiness, alignment, and confidence.

Closing Perspective

If global mobility has been part of your thinking for the year ahead, consider this an open invitation to explore what may be possible. With early planning and trusted guidance, the journey can be both empowering and rewarding.

Wishing you a confident close to 2025 and a 2026 shaped by clarity, opportunity, and exciting possibilities ahead.
