Below is a great, albeit sad example of #5 on my list or “passport attack vectors” (linked in the comments). 👇

“They have been stranded in the country without their passports, some left to fend for themselves while their families found safer refuge. The passports, they say, were destroyed by the US embassy, where the documents were being held for visa processing when the fighting broke out.”

Also, a description of how exit doors close for nationals when a country falls into turmoil. 👇

“On June 10, Egypt’s Foreign Ministry changed the rules to require all Sudanese to obtain electronic visas for entry. Previously, only men between ages 18 and 49 required an entry visa, with exemptions for women, children and the elderly.”

Visas, residencies and citizenship opportunities that appear just a few steps away during normal times disappear into thin air when crisis strikes.

And crisis can strike overnight.
