Election Results to Create Demand for Passports
America is on the brink of yet another polarizing and consequential election. Every four years, tensions rise and the threats of leaving the country are in no short supply. Whether your candidate wins or loses, the best way to prepare for the worst-case scenario is to know where you want to go, and how easy it is to get there.
With nearly 200 countries all over the world, each one has its own unique passport details and characteristics. Even if you’re not waiting for election results to get a passport, you probably want to find out how passports work in other countries, especially if you’ve decided to go somewhere but don’t know the ideal destination.
Armand Arton, the founder of Arton Capital has created the Passport Index, which ranks every passport in the world based on things like mobility, global rank and individual rank. Which passports help you move around the globe easier? Can you have more than one passport from different countries? How about citizenship?
Arton developed a passion for helping people best decide how to travel the globe from a passport perspective based on his own personal story.
“My passion for the industry is deeply rooted in my personal journey. I was born in communist Bulgaria in1976 before relocating to Morocco as a child with my parents,” Arton says, “In an era before the Schengen Area existed, our travels involved navigating through 14 different countries, each with its own visa requirements and bureaucratic hurdles.”
Factors involving discrimination and persecution are also very important to consider when educating yourself about the value of different passports.
“We were treated differently at borders in comparison to those who held a European passport,” Arton explains, “I saw firsthand what an arduous process such travels required, but more important, I realized that your passport can both hinder and facilitate opportunities across the globe.”
In the wake of the upcoming presidential election, a critical shift is anticipated in the global mobility landscape, poised to redefine opportunities for those with foresight and strategic acumen. As political climates around the world become increasingly polarized, there is an emerging trend of citizens seeking to secure alternative avenues for living and working abroad, particularly if their preferred candidate does not emerge victorious. This trend underscores an imminent rise in demand for passports and residency solutions, positioning Armand Arton and Arton Capital at the forefront of a significant growth opportunity.
The Context: Post-Election Uncertainty and Mobility
Historical patterns and recent polling suggest that the fallout from the election could trigger a substantial increase in the number of individuals seeking to relocate internationally. When political outcomes diverge sharply from personal or professional expectations, the resulting uncertainty often drives a surge in demand for alternative residency and citizenship options. This phenomenon is not isolated to any single country but is a global trend, reflecting the increasing desire for security and stability in an unpredictable world.
