Though the wealthy aren't abandoning their American citizenship en masse due to financial implications, many are exploring alternative residency or citizenship programs. Portugal, Malta, Greece, and Italy are among the preferred destinations. These programs offer visa-free travel, residency rights, and settlement options across Europe, providing flexibility and security.

Reasons for this trend includ facilitating travel to less U.S.-friendly regions and easing cross-border financial transactions. Additionally, some seek secondary residency for retirenment or family proximity, while others cite political concerns in the U.S. remaining a top destination for global millionaires.
