LONDON, Feb 25 (Bernama-GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — While European programs continue to set the benchmark globally, the latest rankings in the 2026 edition of Henley & Partners’ Residence and Citizenship Programs report reveal a marked recalibration in the investment migration landscape. Europe’s appeal is increasingly being challenged by dynamic competitors across the Middle East, Asia-Pacific, Latin America, and the Caribbean — signaling a shift in how globally mobile capital and talent are repositioning for the future.
Malta retains 1st place in the 2026 Global Citizenship Program Index for the 11th consecutive year, and Greece once again tops the 2026 Global Residence Program Index. The rankings are published as part of the most established comparative benchmark of investment migration options, independently assessed by a panel of leading internationally recognized immigration and citizenship experts as well as academics, economists, and country risk experts.
