In this Business Talks with Alaa Ezzedine special edition, we tackle a critical issue that agencies and consultants don’t want to talk about: the growing risks of citizenship by investment programs. While many firms continue to promote second passports from the Caribbean and beyond, recent moves by the EU’s LIBE Committee and other international regulators signal major changes ahead.
What happens if you’ve spent over $200,000 on a passport and suddenly lose visa-free access to Europe? In this episode, Alaa explains the facts, the political debates, and why Golden Visa residency programs in countries like Greece, Portugal, Cyprus, or even Panama may be safer, smarter alternatives in 2025.
This is an eye-opening conversation that cuts through the sales talk and highlights the reality: right now, second passports are high-risk, and you deserve to know the truth.
