Hungary has one of the most eligibility-generous citizenship by descent programs…with one big catch.

What are different types of mobility assets?

Things may not turn out as bad as initially threatened for Portugal residents by investment (“golden visa” holders)…but the outcome is still disappointing.
58. As an American, can I include my spouse and children in my second citizenship application?
It depends on the program. Speaking generally...
For most citizenship by investment programs, you can include your spouse and children under 18 years old. Some citizenship by investment programs also allow you to include young adult children who are financially dependent on you.
By contrast, most citizenship by descent programs allow you to include your children under 18 years old, but not your spouse.
However, your spouse can usually qualify for a family-based residency permit after you attain citizenship by descent.

I just looked into it briefly. 99% chance it’s fantasy BS. Not a single relevant case or statute cited by the few ppl on social media talking about it.
It was probably incomprehensible to you because it’s BS.
If you have the link and specific timestamp where it’s mentioned, I’ll listen to it and give you my take.
I’ve helped someone go from US National to US citizen but I’m not familiar with a transition from US citizen to US National. Maybe I’ll look into it.
Are there any drawbacks for Americans pursuing second citizenship?

Is this too unwelcoming of a welcome mat?
One always wants to strike the right balance…
57. As an American, does becoming a dual citizen interfere with my ability to bank in the USA in any way?
As a general matter, no (assuming you keep your American citizenship).

55. What is an “American dual citizen”?
An American dual citizen is a person who has two or more citizenships, one of which is American.
For example, if you're born an American and you obtain St. Kitts citizenship by investment, you are now an American dual citizen (American-Kittsian). If you're born a Colombian and then naturalize in the United States, you're also now an American dual citizenship (Colombian-American).
The term matters because it lets us hone in on specific dual citizenship legal issues that pertain specifically to Americans who are dual citizens.

Should I link to a daily news item in #globalmobility with my brief take on the news?
Or is it too much content on top of how much I’m already posting?
Shoot it to me straight, anon.

Many people are under the mistaken impression that getting citizenship after a requisite period of residency is a mere formality.
Absolutely not.
There are a myriad of other issues and eligibility criteria that can and do stymie a naturalization application based on a period of residency, even if that is a “golden visa” residency.
Part of this misconception can be blamed on some (not all) on golden visa salesmen (who masquerade as “consultants”) eager to close the sale. They speak as if it’s all but a forgone conclusion that you’ll be a citizen after X number of years.
BTW, Bukele’s residency by investment program in El Salvador should be viewed with the same caution if it ever comes into existence.
Don’t take citizenship after a period of residency as a given if you pursue a “golden visa” (residence by investment). Even if your aim is eventual citizenship, understand there are serious risks to your naturalization eligibility.
I’ll write an article fleshing out the risks soon.

To get 2nd citizenship, the overwhelming majority of the time, you have to “pay” in one of 3 ways:
1. With money - citizenship by investment.
2. With time - citizenship after period of residency (usually 2-6 years)
3. With effort in research (+ luck) - citizenship by descent.
Pick your poison.
Note: there are 3 other relatively narrow eligibility criteria - a) citizenship by exception, b) by religion or c) by marriage.

Price quote above is assuming the case is “clean” i.e. no special issues like criminal record, or difficulty proving source of funds.
Those cases cost a bit more and there are only a few who can effectively handle them. False modesty aside, I’m one of those few.
