In a bid to strike a harmonious balance between global mobility and responsible citizenship, the European Union is contemplating a review of its visa policies for countries that offer investor citizenship programs. This initiative, rather than being punitive, underscores the EU's commitment to fostering responsible investment citizenship and enhancing the potential benefits it can bring to both the participating countries and the European Union as a whole.
