In the world of global mobility, there exist these unusual little #mobilityassets I call “semi-citizenships.”

Even #passportbros and other dual citizenship aficionados hardly know they exist.

They come with some rights of citizenship but not all, and they are not exactly residencies either. 👇

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.

34. Is it possible to get citizenship by investment with a criminal record?

It’s said in the mobility industry that one must have a “clean record” to get citizenship by investment.

That’s largely true, however the "smaller" the crime and the longer ago it was committed, the more chances a person has getting citizenship by investment. A particular situation and person's criminal record should be screened individually before citizenship by investment is ruled out as a possibility.

Are there any drawbacks unique to citizenship by investment?

Yes.

First, citizenship by investment tends to be the only category of naturalization in which countries lawfully (i.e. not just at the whim of a dictator) strip an applicant of citizenship for alleged misconduct AFTER obtaining the citizenship. Generally, with other forms of naturalization, once you naturalize, your citizenship is safe besides in very narrow circumstances such as a) fraud in obtaining the citizenship, or b) treason/terrorism.

Second, citizenship by investment is under attack by the west. Your visa-free access via citizenship by investment could be cut down, as the EU did with Vanuatu in 2022.

Citizenship by investment is still fantastic for those with the means and sometimes the only option for someone wanting second citizenship. But, a client needs to know the risks and downsides.

The vast majority of citizenship by investment agents and “consultants” (i.e. salesmen) will never bring up such downsides or even acknowledge they exist.

41. Does a passport belong to an individual or a government?

Contrary to popular belief, passports generally belong to governments, not the individual citizen using the passport. This means passports can and are annulled, revoked, and seized by governments.

Difficulty getting this clearance (if it applies to you) is one of the 4 potential drawbacks for Americans considering dual citizenship.

Pro tip: If your citizenship “advisor” or “consultant” is willing to give you consult with you for free, you’re dealing with a salesman, not a consultant, and certainly not an expert.

Expert consultants and lawyers in global mobility don’t “chat” with prospective clients for free.

Don’t shoot the messenger.

IMO, Tate very likely has 2-4 citizenships, not the 7+ he claims.

I published this before he was arrested in December. Events since December arrest seems to suggest he doesn’t have Romanian citizenship (consular assistance is usually only available in countries in which you’re NOT a citizen).

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.
