This is a big blow for citizenship by investment (“CBI”) in Dominica and I believe will be the first domino to start fall of visa free access to Europe of Caribbean CBIs.
As I’ve written many times, visa-free access is just one of the benefits of second citizenship and shouldn’t be relied upon exclusively as a reason to get citizenship somewhere.

Thx. It was right in front of my face. 🤦♂️
Noob question:
How do I respond to DM requests?
I don’t see any button to respond. I’m using damus on IOS.
Density notwithstanding, it is an interesting read.
If you’re interested to know what “assize”, “royal pleas” and “gavelkinder” are, this is the book for you. 👇

The Carlos Ghosn escape is four years old, but still ever fascinating (article linked below).
Whether you think he's an international fugitive or just a victim of Japan's criminal justice system, the ongoing Carlos Ghosn affair presents a multifaceted #freedomofmovement case study for mobility and extradition advocates, alike.
Cliffnotes:
- Carlos Ghosn was a successful businessman, CEO of Nissan.
- Ghosn was accused of financial crimes in Japan related to pay disclosure in 2018 and 2019.
- While on house arrest, Ghosn, a triple citizen of France, Lebanon and Beirut, escaped Japan in December 2019.
- He first escaped to Turkey to switch planes, then continued on to Beirut.
- Ghosn has been living, apparently fairly openly in Beirut ever since, resisting extradition attempts from Japan and France.
The escape was planned by a former green beret, Michael Taylor, who meticulously studied the Japanese border (by aviation) for vulnerabilities and executed the escape.
Ghosn lives in Lebanon where he fairly regularly gives interviews to mainstream media and podcast hosts, alike.
Media has reported that Ghosn has remained put because Lebanon doesn't extradite its own citizens (I haven't confirmed).
A Few Useful, Important Issues Involved:
1. Where are dual and multiple citizens protected from extradition?
2. How & why has Lebanese govt held fast, under pressure from Japan and France to extradite Ghosn?
3. Where, if anywhere, can Ghosn safely travel internationally outside of Lebanon without being extradited to Japan or France?
4. Will Ghosn be effective at all in the long run in fighting his Japanese charges while being an international fugitive (from Japan's perspective)?
I've listened to a number of Ghosn interviews - it's obvious he's sharp as a tack and extremely charismatic. He also appears to be well funded.

It's important people pursuing 2nd citizenship make this simple distinction when evaluating options. 👇

Most of my American clients looking for a 2nd citizenship want a lifestyle with:
- 2 or 3 citizenships
- 2 homes, at least one of which is in the U.S.
They want to keep their U.S base and spend significant time in the U.S. (at least 4 months/year).
They just want to add a 2nd citizenship, and possibly a home, of a country they like and that can serve as a #PlanB if necessary.
This is the new mobility play of the upper-middle class remote working Americans.
Renouncing U.S. citizenship is far from the minds of most of them.

"No, I'm not going to say what I was doing abroad and who I know in XYZ country..."
If you're sent to secondary inspection to be held for a few hours and shaken up with tough talk, even if you're eventually sent on your way, you've been restrained and violated.
Regardless of what the law says on the point.
Any friction imposed on your ability enter your country of citizenship is a serious infringement on human freedom.
The only acceptable leeway should be to verify a) who you are, and b) that you're a citizen.
Hopefully there'll be a mobility amendment in the U.S. one day to codify this principle into a right and provide ample disincentivizing punishment for those who violate it.

PRs, TRs, and visas have their place.
But citizenship is the apex tool for human freedom of movement.
Multiple citizenship is the master key.
The best parachute.
The safety net.
The refuge.
The shelter.
The springboard.
The shield.
The snowshoe.
The flywheel.
The greatest entrance and the exit in the world of nation states as sovereigns.
