📄 Episode Description

In this episode of Moving Abroad: Create a New Life in a New Country, we explore the growing number of Americans seeking residency and citizenship options outside the United States. According to reporting from Condé Nast Traveler, applications from U.S. nationals for residency and citizenship by investment programs doubled in 2025 and remained elevated into 2026, with many Americans looking for greater mobility, flexibility, and a long-term backup plan.

We break down where Americans are applying, including popular destinations in Europe, Latin America, and the Caribbean, and why options like golden visas, second residencies, and citizenship-by-investment programs are becoming part of more families’ future planning. Whether you’re curious about global mobility, second passports, or simply having more choices, this episode explains why the trend is growing and what to consider before pursuing residency or citizenship abroad.
