People who have attained financial well-being may opt for luxury goods: pricey cars, watches, bags or jewelry. However, insightful and rational HNWIs realise that the most lucrative and prestigious investment today is a second citizenship.

A second passport unlocks unprecedented opportunities: you will attain the level of freedom and the high quality of life that are hard to achieve by other means. Many investors believe that an economic citizenship requires large investment. Immigration analysts suggest you compare which investment is more beneficial – a second passport or luxury goods.
