Not wishing to generate FOMO, but requirements and processing times are increasing everywhere. And options will become more limited each quarter.
Countries where it used to take 4-6 months without having contacts to shorten it, now you’d likely be waiting 12 months. The offices are swamped processing new applications. And many will from what I can tell try and curb demand in future or be more selective with criteria. We’re already seeing that.
Also, my theory is that as interest rates prove unable to curb inflation, western countries are going to resort to ridiculous outright taxation this decade to try and get it under control. Both cap gains and income tax. It may be prudent to have a second option lined-up, unless you think you are beyond that reach.
