Think a second passport is about avoiding tax?

For millions of people, it’s about something far more basic: freedom of movement.

In this episode, Armand Arton, founder and CEO of Arton Capital and one of the world’s most influential voices in global citizenship and investment migration, shares his journey. From growing up in communist Bulgaria with a passport that limited his every move, to building this business that has helped nearly 20,000 people gain mobility and security, has been deeply personal.

He also unpacks how governments shape these programmes, what most people get wrong about residency and citizenship by investment, and why mobility is becoming a new form of wealth in a rapidly shifting world.
