The biggest motivators for my American clients to pursue 2nd citizenship are:

1. Desire for Plan B home;

2. Wish to live part time in Europe;

3. General distrust/concern of America’s direction.

Very few are actually consistent renunciation of U.S. citizenship in the near future, although some consider the fact that a 2nd citizenship would more easily facilitate renunciation in the future if necessary.

One of my fairly recent fascinations are goldbacks.

Anybody else collect or accept them as payment?

Alright maybe jk about the evil central bankers. 😅

Evil central banksters would like nothing more than to see me stop posting about dual citizenship but I will not be silenced.

“Strategy: Legal Opinion Letter

This combination of FBI idHS and court records requested for can be confusing to an adjudicator trying to decide whether an American should be granted or denied citizenship based on a criminal record. Most citizenship and residency adjudicators are not lawyers.

To that end, one tool that can be used to explain the arrest, charge, and conviction information in digestible terms is a legal opinion letter written by a lawyer from the jurisdiction of the arrest. Additionally, the legal opinion letter can also serve two other critical roles.

First, it can be used to include relevant positive information about the applicant’s history that can help color the adjudicator’s impression of what might otherwise be negative (criminal history) information.

Second, it can be used to compare the U.S. conviction to what would be the analogous conviction in the jurisdiction that is evaluating the second citizenship. A comparison of convictions is often required under the domestic law of the foreign country to determine whether an American applicant’s criminal record must result in a denial for his citizenship or residency application.”

When someone comes to me for citizenship by investment and I find out they’re eligible for citizenship by descent.

Nice idea 💡

17. How do dual citizens travel internationally?

Dual citizens can travel with either one or both of their passports. However, most countries require their citizens to enter the country only with the passport of that country.

For example, if you become a dual American-Grenadian citizen, you would have to enter the United States with your U.S. passport. However, if you’re traveling to France, you can enter with either your U.S. or Grenadian passport.

10. Do I have to do a lot of paperwork to get dual citizenship?

It depends heavily on the type of case.

On the low end, we typically see applicants with fairly very “straightforward” cases have to submit eight to ten documents (along with apostilles and translations, if necessary). For most of our applicants, we usually submit at least twelve to fifteen documents. More complex cases can require identifying, gathering, apostilling and translating twenty documents or more.

Is there any country’s government on earth you would trust to respect your rights for 100 years, starting from today?

The reverse psych worked. Take all my money Master Ph.D.

A common mobility asset portfolio some people of means ($2M+ net worth) pursue:

—> Citizenship by descent in EUROPE.

—> Citizenship by investment in the CARIBBEAN

—> Low maintenance residency (by investment or income) leading to citizenship in Latin America

Plus your first citizenship.

Three citizenships + one residency, with the possibility of a 4th citizenship.

The zap is not the territory.

* are messy, more challenging to evaluate and put in a chart.

Freedom of movement is so much more than counting up the number of countries a passport holder can travel to visa-free.

Visa-free access is the laziest, lowest level metric that can be “measured” by anyone with access to wikipedia.

That’s why it’s cited and focused-on so much by wannabe mobility experts and influencers.

Raw quantity of visa-free access matters but not nearly as much as BS passport rankings would have you believe.

Here are the elements of freedom of movement that matter more when evaluating a mobility asset:

1. Core residency rights

2. Satellite residency rights

3. Access to borderless zones (like schengen)

4. country springboarding opportunities

5. Sturdiness of the mobility asset (how easily can it/will it be taken away from the issuing country)

6. Visa-free access to the 7-10 countries that matter to you most.

Those qualities are 👆 are messy, more challenging and can generally only be evaluated by someone who has real experience in getting citizenship and residencies AND understands the underlying laws and regs in play.
