Golden Passport - Global Mobility for Millionaires

Kristin Surak offers the first on-the-ground investigation of the global market in citizenship for the rich. She tracks the countries that sell citizenship, the elites who buy it, and the intermediaries who make the market, revealing how citizenship by investment became a popular option that now accounts for over 50,000 naturalizations annually.
