Complete guide
Plan B residency
An escape hatch you hope you never need. These programmes let you hold residency or a passport without actually relocating — minimal maintenance, zero or near-zero physical presence required.
What is a Plan B?
A Plan B is residency or citizenship held as insurance — a backup in case of political instability, economic crisis, or personal safety concerns in your home country. The best Plan B options require no physical presence, have low annual maintenance costs, and can be activated at short notice. Some grant a passport outright; others provide permanent residency you can use to relocate instantly.
