The factors of France stealing the top stop for the eighth time in a row includes the external value of a nationality, its influence in offering opportunities to outsiders in addition to welfare, education, healthcare and life chances, as well as global travel and settlement.
European Union countries dominate the top of the index, “largely due to the liberal degree of settlement freedom permitted between member states, as well as the stand-out quality of many of the nationalities in and of themselves,” according to Henley & Partners, which publishes the index.
