MAX INDEX
Il GlobalPassport™ Mobility Asset Index è un benchmark definitivo delle soluzioni di residenza e cittadinanza in oltre 50 Paesi.
The GlobalPassport™ Mobility Asset Index (MAX Index) is a comprehensive tool designed to evaluate and compare mobility assets across different countries and program types. Essential for anyone who intends to move or prepare to move abroad, the MAX Index offers a clear comparison of RBI, digital nomad, passive income, and ancestry-based citizenship and residency programs.
We have refined the key hurdles of Mobility Asset acquisition into seven key indicators that empower our members with unparalleled insights to confidently navigate the intricacies of this $3 billion industry.

Here are the 7 key indicators that empower our members with unparalleled insights to confidently navigate the intricacies of this $3 billion industry.
This indicator evaluates solely the filing fee or application cost associated with the program, providing a clear understanding of the initial financial commitment required. This is crucial as it determines the financial barrier to entry for potential applicants.
This metric assesses the overall efficiency of the process, recognizing that processing time and adjudication quality may not always correlate. This parameter considers potential system efficiencies and inefficiencies.
This indicator analyzes the longevity of the program, with the assumption that longer-standing programs have more stable and predictable adjudication standards. A stable program provides reassurance to applicants that their investment and effort won't be wasted due to sudden policy changes or program termination.
This metric examines the conditions imposed on applicants regarding their physical presence and travel requirements both before and after the granting of citizenship or residency. This parameter is an average of three weighted sub-factors.

The MAX Index is essential for anyone who is aspiring to create or expand their portfolio of Mobility Assets. It allows them to clearly compare which Mobility Assets are strongest, both overall and in alignment with their needs.
For example, a portfolio builder who wants to travel with their family can easily pick out which Mobility Assets will allow them to do so, or a portfolio builder who wants to move or travel as soon as possible can use the speed indicator to choose the Mobility Assets that will facilitate this desire.
The MAX Index gives autonomy back to the individuals. Wading through countless pages of confusing information is a thing of the past, and portfolio builders will no longer miss out on great opportunities simply because the information was not available to them. Together with the GlobalPassport App, we give people everything they need to make an educated and informed decision on the Mobility Assets that are right for them.
In giving autonomy back to the individuals, we open doors to immigration with the MAX Index. Individuals can clearly weigh their options with an unbiased overview of Mobility Assets and their benefits without having to pay hundreds of dollars just for an initial consultation with an immigration attorney.
