SummaryInvestment Migration Magazine

The rapid expansion of the investment migration industry shows no sign of slowing down. Across the entire industry spectrum, every nook and cranny has been experiencing growth. New programmes have come online and even more in the offing, raising questions among industry commentators on their sustainability. Despite the question marks, the appeal to clients appears to continue unabated, along with the number of new entrants seeking to service the growing appetite for visa-free travel by the globally mobile. The exponential growth that the industry is enjoying has not gone unnoticed by major international institutions and standard-setting organisations such as the EU, the IMF and the OECD that are all expanding their interest and flexing their powers over the industry.

Putting our House in Order

The Big Picture Idea: Nation as a Service

Estonia’s e-Residency Programme is partly the brainchild of Kaspar Korjus, the former Head of the Programme. He talks about the programme’s start-up phase, major achievements and its future potential. He says that as more countries build digital services of their own, the idea of nation-as-a-service comes into sharper focus.

Expatland: The World’s Most Influential Country

Expats may account for just 3% of the world’s population, but they are changing the world and reshaping societies — and their dominance is growing as expats are expected to account for a larger share of the world’s population in the decades ahead, says John Marcarian.
