TOP 20 most valuable citizenships in the world

24.06.2025 Experts from the CS Global Partners consulting company assessed the countries and found that the value of citizenship in 2025 is no longer limited to a simple ranking of passports, but indicators such as quality of life, security and financial freedom are the main motives for obtaining a second citizenship.

Today, citizenship has evolved from a legal status into a multifunctional tool that provides a person with legal freedoms, ease of doing business, political and economic stability, and compliance with a personal value system.
The size of the state no longer matters for global geopolitical and economic influence. Small countries are gaining importance and weight due to stability, investment attractiveness, and even concern for the climate.

TOP 20 countries in the world with the most valuable citizenships:

1. Switzerland
2. Denmark
3. Australia
4. Norway
5. Germany and Japan
6. Iceland
7. Ireland
8. Finland

13. Belgium
14. Austria
15. Liechtenstein
16. Hong Kong
17. Singapore
18. South Korea

The main factor on the basis and totality of which the states were ranked is the quality of life, which covers such areas as living standards and security, the healthcare system, leisure and social relations. 36.9% of respondents call it their top priority when deciding when choosing citizenship.
