Worldway Group has learned that Henley & Partners recently released its latest passport index report. Japan, Singapore, and South Korea are tied for the highest global score, with visa-free or visa-on-arrival access to 189 destinations. Germany ranks second with 188 points, while Denmark, Finland, France, Italy, and Sweden are tied for third.
The overall passport strength of countries with investment migration programs is impressive:
● Malta currently ranks 8th, ahead of Australia, Iceland, and New Zealand.
● Montenegro, which will launch its investment migration program in the coming months, has climbed 19 places since 2009.
● Moldova is listed as one of the highest climbers in the history of the Henley Passport Index, having jumped 21 places over the past decade. It currently ranks 45th, with holders enjoying visa-free or visa-on-arrival access to 122 global destinations.
The passport ranking list is as follows:
Worldway Group observes that, on one hand, there is growing pressure from the European Parliament to phase out passport programs; on the other hand, the Moldovan passport program from the European continent has become a hit in China since the Moldovan government officially announced the launch of the Moldova Citizenship by Investment (MCBI) program at the 12th Global Residence and Citizenship Conference in November 2018. Moldova has thus become one of the most sought-after investment destinations!
With an investment starting from just 100,000 Euros, investors can quickly obtain a passport from a European continental country for their whole family of three generations in about 90 days. It is an excellent choice to meet various needs such as asset allocation, identity planning, and children's education planning!
Seven highlights of the Moldova Citizenship by Investment program that you cannot miss
1. High cost-performance, fast passport program: Caribbean island nation pricing, European continental citizenship;
2. Tax-friendly European continental country passport: Low tax system, no tax on foreign income, inheritance tax, or gift tax;
3. Moldova is a non-offshore financial country, highly recognized by financial institutions. The Moldovan passport is a preferred European continental passport for business people;
4. A European continental passport eligible for the U.S. E-2 visa;
5. Travel convenience: Visa-free or visa-on-arrival access to 122 countries and regions, including Schengen countries, Russia, Turkey, etc.;
6. Those who meet the relevant requirements can enjoy exemption from written examinations for admission to prestigious domestic universities as overseas Chinese;
7. A superior choice for identity planning regarding business, investment, shareholding, and asset allocation.
Moldova connects the CIS and the EU, enjoying trade preferences granted by multiple economic and trade cooperation mechanisms such as the WTO, the Moldova-EU Free Trade Area, and the CIS Free Trade Area. Currently, the main trade agreements that Moldova has participated in include: the CIS Free Trade Agreement, the EU's Generalized System of Preferences (GSP), the EU's Autonomous Trade Preferences, the Deep and Comprehensive Free Trade Area (DCFTA) with the EU, and the Moldova-Turkey Free Trade Agreement. The free trade agreement between Moldova and China has also entered the final stage of negotiations.
It is worth mentioning that since Moldova opened its citizenship by investment program, Worldway Group clients were the first to receive approval documents for the Moldova passport program approved by the Moldovan government! The application materials of Worldway Group clients have seen very short approval times and extremely high efficiency from submission to the Moldovan immigration authorities to approval.
Worldway experts state that as Moldova has just opened its immigration policy, the application requirements are relatively relaxed, making this an optimal time to enter the market! Investing in EU countries with Moldovan citizenship is a faster and more secure investment channel!
