World Citizenship Report 2023
The unique methodology used for the report relies on the experience gained through our unparalleled work in the citizenship solutions industry, as well as the comprehensive external research to evaluate 188 jurisdictions across the five key motivators of citizenship ranked most highly by global citizens.
A mixed-methods research design is employed both to determine the factors at play in the decision-making processes of second citizenship seekers, and to measure the relative value placed on each of these factors. This multidimensional approach ensures that the attitudes under investigation are captured as accurately and meaningfully as possible.
The economic opportunity and business motivator measures the overall ability of a nation to extend wealth, material comfort, and other key benefits of a strong economy to all its citizens. This motivator lays out some nations and citizenships best for business across the planet.
The financial freedom motivator measures the ability of a jurisdiction to provide a favourable and stable regulatory climate for the registration and performance of businesses, as well as the holding of personal and business assets.
The global mobility and travel motivator measures the number of different jurisdictions that citizens can access visa-free with a given citizenship. Having passage to a greater number of destinations can greatly improve the ability of an individual to access exclusive opportunities and experiences in new regions and markets.
The quality of life motivator measures and ranks the advancement of the level of development of a distinct nation in terms of its ability to provide its citizens a high quality of life across physical, cultural, and social domains of existence.
The safety and security motivator measures the degree to which citizenship can offer greater safety and security to the citizen - particularly, considering its potentiality to allow escaping from a situation of conflict. Data collected for this motivator highlights some of the safest countries in the world.
