Why do entrepreneurs seek second citizenship?

A second citizenship offers entrepreneurs greater global mobility, visa-free access to over 100 nations, political and economic diversification, asset protection, and a strategic Plan B for their family. It is increasingly regarded as essential modern insurance against geopolitical, regulatory, and economic volatility.
