Enhancing Global Mobility in 2024

Demystifying Migration

Migration is an age-old phenomenon, with people moving in search of better lives, to flee conflict, or to find new opportunities. Contrary to sensationalized narratives, most migration is regular, safe, and orderly.

The World Migration Report 2024, published by the International Organization for Migration (IOM), provides a balanced, data-driven perspective on global migration trends. It reveals that international migrants make up only 3.6% of the world's population, dispelling the notion of a migration crisis.

COVID-19 and Mobility

The COVID-19 pandemic severely disrupted global mobility, with air passenger numbers plummeting by 60% in 2020. As countries relax restrictions, air travel is gradually recovering, but lingering effects remain.

Investment migration can offer a solution, providing greater control over travel plans and the ability to retreat to destinations less affected by future lockdowns.

Passport Power and the Schengen Zone

The strength of one's passport, determined by visa-free access, is largely a matter of the "lottery of birth." The World Migration Report highlights the importance of the Schengen agreement, which has provided mobility opportunities for 400 million European citizens.

Residency by Investment within the European Union can help individuals avoid Schengen Area visa delays and enhance their global mobility.
