Guy Wiltcher of Locate Isle of Man explores the Isle of Man as a relocation opportunity – a vibrant, safe and secure place to live, work and invest.
The Isle of Man has always been a popular holiday and short-break destination for those living in the UK and beyond, however many are now choosing to make a permanent move to the stunning UNESCO Biosphere-designated Island, which has some of the lowest crime rates in the British Isles.
When it comes to business, we live in a global village, but the shifting sands of geopolitical interest do not always recognise this. Political alliances and trading blocs – while designed to protect and benefit those within the clubs – also inevitably serve to put up barriers.
In the investment migration arena, blanket restrictions on free movement of peoples can deny many forward-thinking ambitious jurisdictions the opportunity to draw in talent and innovation into priority areas, since they are bound by a forcefield of red tape over which they exercise little control. It also prevents well-meaning entrepreneurial-minded folk disadvantaged by an accident of birth from setting up shop in a business-friendly location.

The combination of a good quality of life, excellent public services and a thriving expat community in an English-speaking country consistently earns Malta high points.
Second residency in Malta offers an alternative to individuals and families and an attractive balance of rights and duties and a combination of permanent residency and mobility with visa free access to Schengen for 90 out of 180 days, facilitating movement for both leisure and business.

These are challenging times and the chance to access greater mobility, opportunity, stability, security and a higher quality of life is alluring indeed. One can see why the industry is rich with activity
There are many jurisdictions vying for supremacy in the field. We see Antigua & Barbuda as leading the way in the Caribbean, with Ecuador, Malta and Turkey offering especially innovative variations on the traditional CIP approach.
These countries offer the wise globally-minded citizen distinct investment migration solutions, while each is an advert for the socio-economic force for good credentials of this industry which continues to suffer from an unfair and malign narrative which posits that such programmes provide a safe haven for undesirables.
