I am in the process of renewing my Syrian passport, while living abroad the only way to get it is through an online platform while you need to pay 300 USD for the passport + 39 USD return back fees via courier + 43 USD commission fees + 27 USD platform fees + sending the old passport fees by courier, you finally end up paying 450-500 USD for only 2.5 years passport (6 years for who did the obligatory military service and for females). If you want an urgent quick passport just replace the 300 USD above with 800 USD, and those are very high numbers for the average Syrian man who needs to get passports for the whole family. The Syrian passport is considered one of the weakest on earth and the most expensive one. The government is eating its people.

Andrew doesn't waste any time right in the beginning in every video we already know what we are in store for, but I am not surprised The U.K. passport is declining. I had this conversation yesterday with an Uber driver and I stated countries that have bigger governments western countries specifically will have heavy-handed governments. Now with more UK, Australians, Americans, and Canadians living abroad, we are starting to see the second phase of limitation. First western governments were limiting and applying restrictions on their citizens within their home country and now we are going to see them apply heavy restrictions and limitations internationally. Shortly Eastern countries will start to tighten up on citizens from Western countries because of all the baggage and extra restrictions that comes along with them.

[@arshadali2312]

The cost of the passport -- whether $15 or $150 -- doesn't really factor into the broader costs of citizenship. US citizenship is becoming -- as you've indicated in numerous videos -- steadily less attractive. British citizenship -- after Brexit -- has become even less attractive. Put Canada in the same bracket as the USA and Britain. All these anglophone countries are in desperate need of revenue because of their failing economies, their military budgets (gotta fight those Russians and Chinese, though I don't know why), and their aging populations with escalating pension and health care costs. Western Europe is in a similar situation. And hence higher levels of taxation, fewer benefits to citizens (aka "austerity"), and higher costs for government services (like passports).

[@pures1n]

Agree with UK+US. Canada on the other hands passport is still pretty good and hasn't changed much. Visa free travel for 6 months to the US is very nice if you have family there. Where as other VWP countries have to deal with that annoyance.

Well those countries could fix that by stopping immigration and getting everything sorted internally and only then opening immigration. Australia creates its own welfare mess with its immigration and high taxes (literally hurts itself by trying to help everyone). Either way, still doesn't justify Australian passports costing basically $500 for a weak travel document (since 2020 its lost access to many countries, and, only gained 15 days visa-free to China (just like many EU passports)).

Another reason not to have a UK passport is because the UK no longer has embassies in most cases. One has to find the correct application form online which is impossible, so at the cost of about £30 to DHL you fill whichever online form and send your completed forms with passport photos and wait for them to inevitably reply via email that the form you completed is an old version and they hopefully email to you the correct form to re fill AND re send via DHL AGAIN !!! Then fill payment details on bank transfer form and wait for up to 2 months . I was told off the record that they no longer operate their High Commission for it original purpose, but instead they turned them into quasi military drone flying bases instead , so much for all that rip off tax money UK taxpayers keep paying without protest !?!?!?

To receive your document you have to physically go to your local town hall with all your current active (and expired!) identification documents (id card, driving license, passports, ...).

I’m a bit late seeing this passport video. At times I have put a comment here that refers (if only obliquely, consistent w my user-name) to my own situation or values. Here, many of the comments are about how much people pay to renew or get an initial passport (generally with a legal right to obtain same, 100% clear, eg burn there w/immediate “family of origin” also born there). The KEY = VALUE of that passport. I like that Andrew Henderson is widening up, by “popular request” his videos/pleasant-lectures to address the situations of people who are not UHNW or HNW individuals. The ultimate point is ideally one obtains that money (legally) and then follows oaths to freedom… where you “are treated best.” (If like myself, I also want freedom to do social good without imposing my will or being required to contribute to a government’s imposition of its leaders’ or bureaucrats’ belief in the “good life” on anyone else.)

If you are an American citizen and make under 120k usd a year, you are tax-exempt from paying US taxes. You only pay taxes if you make more than that.

Some people may feel that giving up a citizenship constitutes a betrayal against their country of origin. Well ask this question: - Does your country support dual citizenship? If yes, that means people from the outside are coming in to acquire your citizenship while keeping their old one. You country assumes that the immigrants may have their primary loyalties elsewhere, but welcome them nonetheless. This suggests that you should be able to shift your primary loyalty to a country that feels better to you. Citizenships are now a kind of commodity. Also, is your government loyal to your family, relatives and historical ethnicity? (Most pre-mass immigration Norwegians are closely related, kinda like relatives.) Or, are they planning to "replace" you, seeing you as nothing but interchangeable cogs in their machine? Now, I should mention that I'm actually very in favor of successful multicultural states like Singapore, Malaysia, the UAE. However, Europe is another matter. One problem is that the tolerance for crime is too high. We don't have the UAE's strict laws to contain our experimental globalist utopia. There's increasing ghetto formation in recent decades. We're seeing vastly decreased perceived safety at night. I consider that, although I have a strong Norwegian identity (in a way), in the sense that I care about family and extended family, Norway is now open to the world and thus no longer "my country" as it's just becoming another globalist province. Well fine, I will still help and protect my family and friends, but I wouldn't fight for a foreign-born prime minister who may be busy destroying the country with ensuring his own people are able to immigrate even more easily. Because now that Norway is no longer a Norwegian state, but simply a shitty province in a global mosaic of increasing rootlessness, I am looking it objectively as a kind of hotel, and the hotel frankly kinda sucks on the whole. But hey, I'm not complaining, as I've always been an individualist, and I didn't enjoy growing up in Norway that much. So, ultimately, I decided to put aside my pet peeves with Norway and left, and I discovered that other countries were treating me far, far better. Would you rather pay 1% on your income or 40%? I'll just go with 1% here in Georgia! The woke nature of Norway, its mass-immigration, its leftist policies -- the total package is not a very nice one to me personally. Some flag-waving and sexual freedom is not something that disturbs me as an atheist/agnostic, but I also find the total package of woke to be very disturbing, and I hate seeing the mindless conformity that is enforced in Norway. I would be crazy to want to live in Los Angeles, Portland or Norwegian cities like Bergen, Oslo. Same shit, different name. The culture is down the drain. You can't even talk to certain foreigners in Norway without offending them. They deliberately take offense. Just part of the toxic cultural sphere of the West.

Conscription, national service, in Israel, Switzerland, etc. is terrifying to me. I would choose a passport that does not include conscription. You never will hear about conscription feears from modern strong independent western women in legacy countries. They don't care. I care. I care about conscription for my male family members.

[@stevebarlow3154]

There is a big difference between the two countries. In Switzerland you do a week or so training once a year and an occasional weekend and that is it. Unless the Russians are silly enough to attack Switzerland, you are extremely unlikely to ever have to fight. Whereas in Israel you will have to fight at some time and the chances of being killed or seriously injured are high.
