With investment immigration, most investors are aiming to acquire some kind of stability, whether it entails visa-free travel, a secure investment, or a family-friendly environment.
With the current travel bans imposed to hinder the spread of COVID-19, many passports are losing their value, while others might become more sought after.
Well managed countries with stable health care, that can handle the epidemic better, are expected to become more popular destinations for people looking for investment citizenship.
This is partly because many investors are looking for a safer environment, and partly because healthcare risks are the main motivators behind travel bans, and a passport of a country perceived as safe by others might grant visa-free access to more countries around the world.
While governments use epidemiological concerns to justify the introduction of restrictions on immigration, the passports of both developed and developing nations will decrease in value, even if only temporarily.
At the same time, especially because of this uncertainty, the global demand for dual citizenship and investor visas is expected to increase.
