Global migration is on the rise, with more people than ever before choosing to relocate abroad. Alongside this trend, interest in residency and citizenship by investment (RCBI) programs has skyrocketed. These programs offer a pathway for high net worth individuals to gain residency or citizenship rights in another country through a substantial investment, most commonly into real estate or a government fund. 

Intrigued by this rising trend, Mona Shah & Associates will be hosting an RCBI pavilion for the first time at the upcoming New York City Real Estate Expo on October 16th. I had the chance to speak with Mona Shah and returning guest expert Sam Bayat to understand more about what's driving interest in RCBI programs and why the expo is an opportune platform to showcase them.

In this episode, you will be able to:

• Understand how RCBI programs impact global real estate investment strategies.
• Gain insights from the latest New York City real estate expo highlights.
• Discover new citizenship by investment opportunities in the post-COVID landscape.
• Uncover the benefits of the UAE golden visa program for real estate investors.
