Wealth Migration Visas in 2025: How HNWIs Buy Citizenship and Lower Global Tax
High-Net-Worth Individuals (HNWIs) are no longer just moving money — they’re moving themselves. In 2025, wealth migration visas are the fastest-growing tool for global tax minimization and mobility optimization. Countries like Portugal, UAE, and St. Kitts offer “citizenship by investment” options that provide both tax benefits and second-passport power.
Unlike conventional immigration, these visa programs are specifically designed for asset-heavy individuals. They grant legal residency or full citizenship in return for economic contributions—often in the form of real estate, bonds, or business investment. The upside? HNWIs gain access to low-tax jurisdictions and protect themselves from political or economic volatility.
