Henley & Partners Has Published a Rating of the Best Cities for Business

Henley & Partners together with DeepKnowledge Analytics have presented an index of the best cities in countries with existing programs for granting a residence permit (residence permit) for investment.

The new index ranks 25 cities from 24 countries, interested in international capital and talent to restore or develop economies. Multinational companies, entrepreneurs, investors, business owners and professionals can choose where to best place their headquarters, managers, employees and families in the current and post-pandemic world by using this tool.

State programs for granting a residence permit through investment operate in 24 countries around the world. A residence permit can be either temporary or permanent. A residence permit allows you to visit, temporarily or permanently reside in the territory of the country that issued the residence permit. The presence of a residence permit does not require the renunciation of the original citizenship.
