Lincoln Global Partners has witnessed rising interest in citizenship-by-investment programs as digital nomads increasingly seek long-term stability and expanded global mobility beyond short-term visas.
— Lincoln Global Partners has announced a noticeable rise in interest in citizenship-by-investment programs among digital nomads seeking to address the challenges of frequent relocation, visa restrictions, and unstable residency options. The development illustrates a broader shift in how location-independent professionals approach mobility, signaling a move away from short-term digital nomad visas toward more permanent solutions.
Digital nomads represent a growing segment of the workforce, often balancing remote work with extensive international travel. While the appeal of this lifestyle remains high, limitations connected to short visa durations, repeated applications, and complex tax regulations have created obstacles. Citizenship-by-investment programs are emerging as a response, offering a structured pathway to second passports and greater certainty in planning long-term mobility.
According to David Lincoln, Founder of Lincoln Global Partners, “At Lincoln Global Partners, we often work with digital nomads who seek not just flexibility, but long-term security. Citizenship-by-Investment programs offer them a dual advantage — immediate global mobility today and a foundation for future permanence. Having lived across Latin America, Europe, and Asia myself, I know firsthand how valuable this stability becomes over time.”
These programs grant full citizenship status, including the right to reside, work, purchase property, and open bank accounts in the issuing country. Unlike temporary residency permits or digital nomad visas that expire within one to two years, citizenship obtained through investment provides more lasting benefits. According to David Lincoln, Founder of Lincoln Global Partners, many nomads now approach citizenship-by-investment not only as a means to expand travel options but also as a strategy for building long-term security across borders.
Industry professionals across different sectors have highlighted the significance of this shift. Marissa Burrett, Lead Design for DreamSofa, observed that obtaining citizenship allows nomads to move beyond repetitive visa concerns, creating a stable home base even for those who remain mobile most of the year.
Financial requirements remain a critical factor in the decision. Most citizenship-by-investment programs begin at approximately $100,000, with options ranging from government donations to real estate investments. While donation routes often provide faster processing, real estate investments offer potential resale opportunities but involve higher upfront commitments. Additional expenses, including legal services, background checks, and government fees, also contribute to the overall cost of securing a second passport.
Dean Fankhauder, Founder & CEO of Movingto, explained that stronger passports with broad visa-free access reduce the burden of embassy visits, cut down on administrative costs, and simplify global mobility for entrepreneurs and freelancers.
Despite the financial outlay, the appeal continues to grow as more digital nomads weigh the value of long-term stability against recurring expenses for short-term visas and the uncertainty of frequent border crossings. The issue of taxation remains central to decision-making, with many applicants requiring professional guidance to understand how new citizenship may or may not impact obligations in their country of origin.
Caribbean nations such as St. Kitts & Nevis, Antigua & Barbuda, and Dominica have become leading destinations for applicants due to relatively fast processing times and visa-free access to over 140 countries. These programs also allow dual citizenship and do not require residency, factors that have contributed to their increasing adoption by nomads and entrepreneurs.
Lincoln Global Partners continues to track this trend closely, observing that the growing reliance on citizenship-by-investment among digital nomads reflects a maturing approach to global mobility. As work and travel patterns evolve, second passports are being recognized as more than travel conveniences, functioning instead as long-term tools for personal and professional stability.
