American Second Citizenship Demand Is Shifting From Europe to Emerging Markets
Wealthy Americans are rushing toward Latin America and Asia in search of second passports, shifting away from Europe’s once-popular programs. Rising costs, stricter rules, and limited options in Europe have driven U.S. citizens toward faster, more affordable routes in Costa Rica, Panama, Uruguay, Thailand, and Malaysia. These programs offer relocation opportunities, lower investment thresholds, and stronger lifestyle benefits. The surge reflects a broader wealth planning trend where American second citizenship is no longer a luxury but a necessary tool for security and mobility.
