Many entrepreneurs view immigration rights as a way to improve international mobility, expand business operations, and reduce risk amid global fluctuations.
Beyond family settlement objectives, residence programs and citizenship by investment (RCBI) are also drawing interest from entrepreneurs involved in cross-border business activities.
Previously, these programs were often associated mainly with living or educational needs for the next generation. However, as businesses expand into new markets, some investors increasingly treat residency rights—or second citizenship—as a factor that can support establishing and operating business activities across multiple countries.
When founders or leadership teams can live and work legally in target markets, businesses are generally easier to set up, partner engagement can be smoother, and investment projects can be implemented more effectively. As a result, residency rights are often viewed as an operational advantage in the international business environment.
According to Harvey Law Group (HLG), some investors approach immigration investment in a manner similar to asset management. In this framework, residency and citizenship are treated as strategic options that can be combined to increase flexibility as immigration, investment, and business policies change across countries.
The portfolio may include citizenship by investment with relatively fast processing times to support international mobility, residency in countries with a stable legal environment for settlement or education, and citizenship by descent where family conditions permit. Diversifying residency options is intended to provide backup plans when regulations shift in specific markets.
Mr. Jean-François Harvey, founder and managing partner of Harvey Law Group, said many entrepreneurs are not seeking a single program, but rather aim to build a long-term residency strategy aligned with international business plans.
“In a context where global policies change rapidly, preparing in advance different residency options can help entrepreneurs maintain flexibility and proactivity in business operations,” he said.
Harvey Law Group also said the trend toward building a portfolio of residences could increase in the coming years as Asian entrepreneurs expand operations into multiple international markets. That demand may also make program selection more complex, since each country has different rules covering investment, residency, and taxation.
Harvey Law Group noted that immigration and investment policies may change during 2026–2028. It said updates and direct exchanges with experts are therefore considered necessary preparations for many investors.
Harvey Law Group plans advisory sessions at its Hanoi office on March 19 and in Ho Chi Minh City on March 20. The sessions will focus on immigration investment strategies, asset management, and risk-management options for families and businesses.
Investors interested in attending should contact Harvey Law Group via the hotline 091 444 1016.
Established in 1992, Harvey Law Group is an international law firm specializing in residency and citizenship by investment programs, with offices across Europe, North America, and the Asia-Pacific region.
