I currently have citizenship in St Kitts and am very happy with it!@roger, i didn't see Japan on the list, do you currently have japanese citizenship and if so what did that cost? Im sure it would not have been cheap.
Oh I didn't know that Comoros began to offer passports as well. It's a poor country but it's really cheap comparing to other countries. I used to live not far, in Reunion Island .It is a very serious undertaking, and should only be done if you are 100% sure you never will live in the USA again.
In my case, that part of the decision was easy.
The hard part was getting citizenship in another country.
It can take years, and a huge amount of money.
Some countries will grant citizenship based on having a parent or grandparent who was originally a citizen.
Other countries will basically sell you citizenship for the right price.
Those countries and ball park prices are:
Comoros $50K
Russia $200K
Dominica $350K
Grenada $400K
St Kitts $500K
Antigua $500K
Bulgaria $500K
USA $500K (Green card)
Canada $1M
Malta $1.8M
Cyprus $3M
Austria $4M+
There are also quite a few that will give you residency for the right price.
The whole concept of citizenship is crazy, and humans shouldn't need permission from other humans to travel on the planet, but this is the world we live in.
Great, i just read that Australia is part of the "5 eyes" i had never heard ofExpatriating from the Five Eyes is a big step towards freedom. Just take a brief look at what Edward Snowden has shown us...
The 5 Eyes don't spare peaceful ordinary civilians anymore...
Truer words were never spoken better!The whole concept of citizenship is crazy, and humans shouldn't need permission from other humans to travel on the planet, but this is the world we live in.
I actually don't agree with you guys on the citizenship issue but roger summed it up by saying that this is the world we live in.Truer words were never spoken better!The whole concept of citizenship is crazy, and humans shouldn't need permission from other humans to travel on the planet, but this is the world we live in.
What you are referencing is refugees. That refugees shouldn't be able to come as they please on a handout and I too agree. I made my own way, they should too. I never asked for a handout, I work hard for my continuing fortune. I will continue to work hard until I am old and grey. Roger paid upwards of $100K, he didn't take a handout. If refugees would like me to pay into a bill to help them in their country, I will happily contribute. I just don't think they should flee to any of ours without fixing their own problems first.I actually don't agree with you guys on the citizenship issue but roger summed it up by saying that this is the world we live in.Truer words were never spoken better!The whole concept of citizenship is crazy, and humans shouldn't need permission from other humans to travel on the planet, but this is the world we live in.
As humans we should be able to visit any country on the planet we want to but becoming a resident of that country is different.
The BIG poblem is the human race just doesn't get along with one another.
So I think that what is needed is a change in the travel visa system.
It should be easier to travel around the globe and visit all the wonderful places on the planet but the world we live in at the moment is all worried and overreacting about terrorism and so we see countries closing their borders and making stricter entry criteria.
This attitude needs to stop or the human race will never get along.
Travel for a holiday/visit is one thing but becoming a resident of another country is a completely different scenario.
You have to take into account many factors.
Right now there is HEAPS of refugees looking for a new start somewhere, all of whom have had to flee there country of origin for one reason or another.
Now lets say 500k of them ended up in your country and just set up home with no restrictions on entry.
From day one they will need money. Most of these people will have no money and many will not speak the language so they will have to work, not easy if you can't speak the language so they will have to learn, a lot of governments run free language programs for new arrivals with tax money so what happens when the natives start asking questions regarding tax.
If you want your country stable with at least a police force (and we do need a police force because humans don't get along remember) then everyone has to pay their fair share.
At lot of tax money is also misused but I won't get into that now.
Half a million people is a lot of people and if they want the services that the country provides via taxes then we need to know that any new residents are paying their fair share.
If their house caught fire then our tax funded fire fighters would have to put it out and rescue anyone inside, the hospital they end up in was most likely partly government funded so it's only fair they pay.
I could go on but i would like to see a reply first.
It's actually quite surprising that the cost for citizenship in Bulgaria is so expensive. Having been there several times it is literally one of the "most chill" and laid back atmospheres I have ever been in. I wouldn't mind a house near the beach in Varna. The last time I was there it was still a bit lawless (a few dollars got you out of traffic tickets, etc) but it's a place I can see myself staying.It is a very serious undertaking, and should only be done if you are 100% sure you never will live in the USA again.

If you meet the conditions, you can also live the "Perpetual traveler" lifestyle https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perpetual_traveler or its modern variation called "Digital nomad": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_nomadGreat, i just read that Australia is part of the "5 eyes" i had never heard of
Looks like i will have to start saving my money or BTC for a new citizenship, Grenada @ $400K sounds good as long as the US don't invade it again.

Panama is a good place but you will still need to integrate within the local culture, learn Spanish and the history of Panama. If you get married to a local and it is not a sham marriage, you can get citizenship really quick in about 3 years (not counting temporary residency and processing paperwork)If you meet the conditions, you can also live the "Perpetual traveler" lifestyle https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perpetual_traveler or its modern variation called "Digital nomad": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_nomadGreat, i just read that Australia is part of the "5 eyes" i had never heard of

As for what's been shown by Mr. Ver for tax purposes, being an US citizen might not be a "good business" at all (even while living/working abroad)...
P.s. Panama (I guess it's a good place in order to apply for citizenship too) suffered from the same collateral problem too (US invasion). LOL
How do I know which of those is the best choice for me? in which ones you pay least amount of taxes?It is a very serious undertaking, and should only be done if you are 100% sure you never will live in the USA again.
