Some are wealthy enough to buy investment visas in Europe. Others are applying for digital nomad permits that require little more than proof of remote income. Still others are assembling go-bags, stockpiling medication, or rehearsing how they would reach the Canadian border if federal restrictions tightened."
"Eric Major, CEO of the London-based global migration firm Latitude, says his American business has undergone a transformation.
