I don't need statistical data, I see it everyday in my business. In the last 7-8 years I have seen more and more Americans move abroad compared to 20-30 years ago. Most hold dual and triple citizenships through linea sanguinis.

The U.S. just replaced China as the world's largest market for second passports.

That's according to Eric Major, CEO of investment migration firm Latitude World, who told Forbes his American client base went from 4% to 74% of his entire business since 2019.

This isn't a handful of billionaires either. Henley & Partners saw applications from Americans climb 67% by the end of September 2025 alone, and Americans now make up 30% of all their global applicants.

Here's what's driving it. A study from Apex Capital Partners found 61% of Americans earning over $200,000 a year are considering relocating within five years. When asked why, 68% pointed to cost of living and 54% pointed to the political climate.

And it's not one side of the aisle doing this. One advisor put it simply. People on the left are worried about a third Trump term. People on the right are worried about someone further left nationalizing industries down the road. Everyone's hedging against a different fear, but they're all buying the same kind of insurance.

Most of these families aren't actually leaving. Investment migration experts describe it the same way they'd describe a stock portfolio. You diversify across assets to reduce risk, and now people are diversifying across passports the same way.

The Caribbean has become a go-to option because it doesn't require relocation at all. It's mobility and legal flexibility, held in reserve in case things ever shift.

One more thing worth knowing if you're a US citizen weighing this. Dual citizenship is legal, but it doesn't erase your tax obligations. Every US citizen still owes worldwide taxes and reporting no matter how many passports sit in the drawer.

Passport PSA for U.S. Dual Nationals: U.S. citizens are REQUIRED to enter and depart the United States on a U.S. passport. This requirement applies equally to U.S. citizens, including children, who are dual nationals. Dual national U.S. citizens may NOT use their foreign passport to apply for an electronic travel authorization (ESTA). The Department of Homeland Security routinely denies or cancels ESTAs for dual national U.S. citizens. If you are a U.S. citizen or national and live abroad and plan to travel to the United States, make sure you do so with a valid U.S. passport. If your U.S. passport is expired or expires soon, renew before your trip! Passports should generally be valid at least six months after the date of entry to a foreign country.

The new American dream, for some of its citizens, is to no longer live there.

Last year the U.S. experienced something that hasn’t definitively occurred since the Great Depression: More people moved out than moved in.

The Trump administration has hailed the exodus—negative net migration—as the fulfillment of its promise to ramp up deportations and restrict new visas. Beneath the stormy optics of that immigration crackdown, however, lies a less-noticed reversal: America’s own citizens are leaving in record numbers, replanting themselves and their families in lands they find more affordable and safe.

The U.S. saw 675,000 deportations and 2.2 million “self-deportations” last year, according to data from the Department of Homeland Security.

A Wall Street Journal analysis of 15 countries providing full or partial 2025 data showed that at least 180,000 Americans joined them—a number likely to be far higher when other countries report full statistics.

Across dozens of interviews, U.S. expats described their motivations as a tangle of economic incentives, lifestyle preferences and disenchantment with the trajectory of America, citing violent crime, cost of living and turbulent politics.
