Insights on dual citizenship, passports, freedom, and sovereignty. Lawyer at Malakouti Law.

Beware!

If you touch this note within 5 minutes, you get zapped.

Who here actually pays bitcoin for goods and services when possible?

St. Kitts citizenship by investment is “on sale” by the program until June 30th, 2023. After that date, the price for a single applicant jumps up to $150k.

Also, all applications are given expedited processing (60 days) until that date.

You could be a citizen of St. Kitts within 60 days of submitting your application (preparation of the application usually takes 2-4 weeks).

BUT, as always, the first step is to be properly screened by a mobility advocate (like me) for other avenues to citizenship to make sure St. Kitts citizenship is the best option for you before spending the $$$$.

The balance in answering questions of immigration authorities (whether in the U.S. or elsewhere) lies in:

a) being honest, while

b) giving as little extraneous info as possible and

c) steering conversation clear of sensitive/non-positive issues in your case or personal profile.

The reality is that all immigration and citizenship applications are subject to discretion, to some degree, of an adjudicator, whether written into the law or not.

Realist advocates recognize this while unfortunately some other lawyers refuse to acknowledge the existence of important human factors outside of the letter of the law.

This is exactly how an FBI background check works for American citizens pursuing:

a)citizenship or

b) residency abroad.

Including:

1. How info is reported to the FBI,

2. How to get the background check, 3. What info shows on the check,

4. How to update or correct the FBI background check,

5. Strategies for Americans with a criminal record pursuing 2nd citizenship.

Should you get mobility assets that have overlap in their freedom of movement benefits (i.e. visa-free access to the same country)?

I call this “visa-free redundancy” and it’s a good idea in some circumstances depending on a) how important access to that country is and b) the additional marginal cost of the redundant mobility asset to you.

The reality is that most people have a list of about 7-10 countries that are very important for them to

access, whether for pleasure, business or transit.

Redundant access to those countries may be worth the investment of time or money. Visa-free agreements and residency treaties between countries change all the time.

Have you used it? If so, what were your impressions?

Pro tip: saying “I just need an answer to my simple question.” in an attempt to avoid paying for a lawyer’s time

is a major 🚩 🚩 🚩 for lawyers worth their salt.

It immediately shows the prospective client is either a) unsophisticated or b) a jerk/narcissist or both, and unlikely to understand the value the lawyer brings. That also means they’ll probably be a pain-in-the-neck, sooner than later.

Not worth it.

Yea, eventually they’ll find a lawyer to deal with their nonsense, but not the best lawyers.

Any true “prepper” plan must include second citizenship or residency plus a few plans for where you’d go in a hurry if necessary.

Good morning, Plebs. Once again, it smells like #dualcitizenship in the air. ☀️

Big W for due process and Antigua’s citizenship by investment program…so far. 👇

Yes, we are paying close attention to which CBI countries throw their citizens under the bus at the first hint of trouble and which ones observe due process, even at the expense of hassle and enormous political pressure.

Two citizenships is the first entry into choice of sovereignty.

One citizenship to 2 is Peter Thiel’s 0 to 1.

Can a second citizenship ever be REVOKED?

31. Which countries offer citizenship by investment?

Countries that have standardized citizenship by investment programs are:

In the Caribbean→ St. Kitts, Grenada, St. Lucia, Antigua, and Dominica.

In Europe→ Malta, Macedonia, and Turkey.

In the South-Pacific→ Vanuatu.

El Salvador, Armenia and Albania are countries that have recently (as of December 7th, 2022) have discussed implementing citizenship by investment programs soon.

Also, remember the list of countries that offer residence by investment is much longer.

Visa-free access to the UK from citizenship by investment countries (such as Vanuatu, Grenada, St. Kitts) could be on the ropes.

If so, the value prop of such CBIs shifts heavily towards the other springboarding opportunities (friendlier consulate, residency springboarding) the citizenships provide.

We’ll just have to wait and see…
