富裕層ふゆうそうの国際こくさい移住いじゅうを促進そくしんする三大さんだい要因よういん

Mr. Dominic Jones CEO of Origin Capital Partners and Greener Pastures New Zealand points out that in recent years, global liquidity has fundamentally changed the wealth management strategies of high-net-worth individuals HNWIs.

As governments around the world strive to attract international investors through strategic golden visa programs, global migration trends are expected to become more active than ever by 2026.

According to a survey by Harvey Law Corporation, asset transfers have been notably recorded in the UK, China, and many other countries.

The migration of ultra-high-net-worth individuals presents an excellent opportunity for other countries to meet the growing demands of this global class, and it is predicted that up to 128,000 wealthy individuals will relocate in search of new places to live by 2025.

Therefore, for investment immigration professionals, it has become more important than ever to accurately understand key driving factors such as safety, quality of life, and geographic appeal.

First, from a security perspective, as global instability increases, many wealthy families are viewing residency rights as a strategic safety measure.

Immigrating to a stable, traditional country is an option for protecting assets and inheritance from geopolitical risks, and events such as trade friction and pandemics are major factors prompting wealthy individuals to move their assets to safer locations.

The conditions that are absolutely non-negotiable for the customer include a low crime rate, a reliable police force, and an advanced public health system, all of which are cited as the foundation for a safe and stable life.

Next, regarding quality of life, what wealthy individuals seek is not just material abundance, but also the opportunity to build genuine human relationships in new places through investment—in other words, a value referred to as “lifestyle plus.”

In recent years, the emergence of specialized professions such as senior relocation advisors indicates that ultra-high-net-worth individuals are placing increasing importance on a sense of belonging and the inheritance of their legacy.

The belief that moving to a new place can offer a higher quality of life and diverse opportunities is especially important for Americans.

Specifically, in the process of transitioning from tourists to residents, there is a growing tendency not only toward a sophisticated urban lifestyle but also toward a calm way of life connected with nature.

An internationally highly regarded education system is a top priority for families with small children and is also one of the reasons for smart relocation.

Furthermore, from the perspective of work-life balance, factors such as annual leave, healthcare, public safety, and weekly working hours are considered criteria for evaluating the countries with the best work-life balance in 2025.

Finally, when it comes to geographical appeal, wealthy individuals are attracted not only by economic factors but also by natural scenery, open spaces, and access to adventurous activities.

In addition to stability, safety, and a sense of community, regions with coastlines and rich culture and traditional cuisine are also extremely popular, and immigration programs in New Zealand, Portugal, and Greece continue to attract attention.

For example, after the regulations were revised to allow foreign investors to purchase real estate worth at least 5 million dollars under New Zealands Active Investor Plus visa program, the number of applications increased significantly, promoting diversified growth.

Portugal has strengthened its position within the European Union by establishing the LXL Ventures Fund for American investors.

Greeces Golden Visa program also remains highly attractive by offering residency rights and real estate investment opportunities.

All of these programs not only provide safe and organized migration routes, but also allow people to enjoy the richness of the natural environment and culture, encouraging wealthy individuals to make the decision.

These trends are promoting the diversification of investment funds and golden visas around the world, but it should also be emphasized that relocation is never an easy decision for wealthy individuals.

Each family goes through a different process, and a human-centered approach is necessary to ensure a smooth relocation that matches the applicant’s long-term lifestyle goals.
