In recent weeks, reports have emerged about progress in the American Golden Visa program, which would grant residency to individuals who invest $5 million in the U.S.
For families looking to expand their global presence or secure a future for their children, this may seem like an opportunity.
But behind this opportunity lie significant challenges.
Obtaining U.S. residency (or citizenship) carries substantial legal and tax obligations — including, for example, implications related to dual reporting requirements and the application of U.S. tax law to assets and income outside the United States.
For many families, this cost is too high — both legally and financially. Others may find value in such a move, as long as it’s done with careful planning and the right professional guidance.
As part of ongoing monitoring of global trends in economic migration, there’s a growing need to assess such moves not only by the potential they offer, but also by their legal and financial implications — both now and for future generations.
The program has not yet been officially approved, but one thing is certain: decisions like this shouldn’t be made based on headlines alone — they require a deep understanding of the consequences.
