Millionaires On The Move

India is perhaps one of the few remaining economic powerhouses left in the world where the country’s High-net-worth Individuals (HNIs) have yet to take full advantage of the opportunities available to them to invest abroad and truly become global citizens. Residency & Citizenship by Investment (R&C by Investment) is one such option that offers HNIs a multi-faceted solution for their long-term and short-term goals. Thanks to economic liberalization and exponential increase in personal income, Indian HNIs are now seriously considering R&C by Investment to grow their business, secure their children’s future, diversify their investment portfolio, and plan their financial future. However, since this is a fairly recent phenomenon, there exists a knowledge vacuum regarding the specifics, benefits, and processes related to it. This book aims to remove this vacuum by providing a synopsis of the R&C by Investment programs of several countries around the world, in a simple and non-legal language. Besides HNIs, this book can also serve as a handy guide for professionals who render services to Indian HNIs; professionals like chartered accounts, wealth managers, lawyers, property advisors, and others. This book can help them gain basic understanding of the R&C by Investment programs of various jurisdictions. The world is increasingly becoming a global village and R&C by Investment is a powerful tool that can be used by Indian HNIs, businesspersons, senior executives, and professionals not only for their personal gain, but also to contribute positively to the Indian economy. More NRI businesspersons and professionals means more bilateral trade and more remittance of foreign currency into India. R&C by Investment can be an effective and dependable strategy for Indian HNIs to assert their presence in the global business market. This book is the first step in that direction.
