“It used to feel like James Bond or Jason Bourne with a suitcase of passports. Now it is just how serious families manage risk.”Residency and citizenship by investment have moved from the fringe to the main table for wealthy families who want options if the world keeps shifting. In this episode, Henley Group’s Judi Galst and Bespoke’s Sune Hojgaard-Sorensen unpack how “plan B, C, and D” really work in practice for global families, and how those choices intersect with structures, tax residency and long term family strategy. They explore why demand for alternative residency exploded after 2020, the practical differences between residency and citizenship, and how to think about these tools as part of an integrated operating system rather than a one‑off passport purchase.
