In this episode of the Be Global Podcast, we cut through the headlines claiming that Europe is “shutting down” investment migration — and reveal what’s actually happening on the ground.

Spain has ended its Golden Visa, Portugal is discussing nationality law reforms, and online narratives suggest European residency is becoming harder to access. But when you look at the data — and at what families are really doing — the opposite is true. Demand for Golden Visas has surged, particularly among U.S. and UK citizens seeking flexibility, security, and long-term options.

Joining us is Stefani da Rosa, a senior immigration lawyer who has guided hundreds of investors and families through Europe’s residency pathways. She shares clear, real-world insight into why interest in European residency is at an all-time high, which programs remain solid, and how families are using residency as a form of global insurance.

In this episode, we explore:

Why Golden Visa demand is surging despite regulatory changes

The fastest European residency options available today

Italy vs. Greece: which Golden Visa fits which investor profile

Why Portugal and Malta remain top choices for families

How EU residency unlocks freedom of movement, education, and healthcare

Why families and high-net-worth individuals are securing multiple residencies

How European residency can shape a child’s education, mobility, and future

Whether you’re an investor, entrepreneur, retiree, or parent thinking long-term, this episode offers a grounded, strategic look at how Europe continues to provide stability, mobility, and freedom — even as the rules evolve.

🎧 Tune in to understand your options and learn how to plan a European future intentionally.
