25% Discount on Tickets to Attend the 12th Global Residence and Citizenship Conference in Dubai

 

Over the past seven years, the number of formal citizenship-by-investment programs has grown from two to twelve, and according to Knight Frank’s 2018 Global Wealth Report, a third of ultra-high-net-worth-individuals hold a second passport, while another third plan to join the world of investment migration.  Furthermore, a recent report by The Economist stated that over 80% of all visas granted worldwide come from a small group of high-income nations, including the US, Canada, the UK, Hong Kong, and Australia. It is therefore not surprising that the demand for alternative residence and citizenship has increased so rapidly, with over 36,000 investor visas issued in 2014 alone, allowing visa-free access to these five countries.

These figures clearly show that global mobility, personal security, and ease of asset diversification are of utmost importance and consistently top of mind for many global citizens and their advisors. They are among the wide-ranging topics that will be discussed, debated, and explored at next month’s 12^th Global Residence and Citizenship Conference in Dubai.

Increased geopolitical, ecological, and economic uncertainty means that there has never been a better time to explore alternative residence and citizenship. Choosing from the growing number of high-quality investment migration programs is no simple task; however, one of the focuses of this year’s Global Residence and Citizenship Conference is to provide invaluable insights into some of the world’s leading residence- and citizenship-by-investment programs. A number of panels will focus exclusively on the newly launched Moldova Citizenship-by-Investment program and will include special keynote addresses by H.E. Chiril Gaburici, Moldovan Minister of Economy and Infrastructure, and H.E. Vitalie Iurcu, Moldovan State Secretary for the Ministry of Economy and Infrastructure.

As in previous years, the conference will close with the presentation of this year’s Global Citizen Award®, which honors an inspiring individual who has made an extraordinary contribution to the global community. The 2018 laureate will be announced at a special ceremony and gala dinner on the evening of 6 November 2018.
