The forum was held as an intensive, closed-door gathering alongside broader international citizenship and investment migration events in Istanbul.
The forum’s agenda focused on the strategic direction of the residency and citizenship by investment sector, program updates and the evolving expectations of globally mobile clients.
Speakers and panellists discussed the following topics:
how residency and citizenship by investment programs are adapting to regulatory changes and heightened compliance standards;
shifts in investor sentiment, including growing interest in diversification, risk management, and long-term mobility planning;
the importance of transparent communication and structured partnership models between regional partners, legal advisors, and investment migration companies.
Throughout the sessions, participants highlighted the need to align residency and citizenship solutions with clearer client objectives, including business expansion, education planning for children and succession planning for family wealth.
Roundtable conversations also touched on how digital tools, data and more structured communication can support better client education and reduce misinformation in the market.
Although compact in scale, the forum provided a high signal-to-noise environment, with discussions focused on actionable insights, practical case studies, and lessons from key markets in Europe, the Middle East, and beyond.
