Wealthy Americans Make Exit Plans to Flee to Europe Amid Fears of Rising Political Toxicity and Violence in the U.S.

Wealthy Americans like David are looking to purchase homes and move to Europe, especially Portugal and Italy, to escape political toxicity and threat of violence in the US.

Inquiries for Italian passports and residency permits in Europe have spiked, with many making contingency plans in case Trump gets re-elected.

Companies helping Americans move abroad have seen a 300% increase in inquiries as people make exit plans before the 2024 election.

While Europe appears a safe haven, it also faces rising right-wing populism and restrictions on immigration in some countries.

Despite political changes in Europe, prospective emigrants see it as more stable than the polarization and rhetoric in the US under Trump.
