How Kevin O’Leary Became a UAE Citizen

[@robalexnat]

You didn't cover the Family Book. For those who don't know, the UAE can grant passports but that's essentially just a travel document, the actual citizenship privileges are passed to your kids via a Family Book. So most people that are getting the passport, even if high profile, aren't getting the Family Book, hence, it's still a useful passport, but no local perks.

As someone who knows Emirati's, they will respect the status the government gave him, but he will never be one of them. Their sense of national identity is very traditional, and even if he accepts Islam and learns Arabic that may not be enough.

[@ronaldmcmaster9148]

Highly likely he already knows that.

[@ThexXxXxOLOxXxXx]

I don't think he wants to be an emirate more like he want the full opportunity of a gulf citizenship which grants access to all gulfstates countries including Saudi Arabia, Qatar, oman etc

[@mr.clanni9930]

He doesn’t care, he cares about the opportunity that the Emirati passport gives him such as unrestricted access to UAE, Freedom of movement in Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain and Oman, visa free access to China and Russia (which btw none of his previous passports offered). That’s what he cares about, I don’t think he considers himself an Arab or a Muslim, so the feeling is mutual. They don’t see him as an equal and neither does he, but they understand that him having the passport is good for their country and he understands that Emirati passport opens new doors. Win win.

[@Lori.Miller]

He's not a US citizen, there was a big stink about it during the Canadian elections years ago when he started criticizing Ignatieff for being an American, so he was forced to explain that he only had a green card via EB-1, which he gave up because of the tax headache. Ever since he's been on O-1.

[@alexvig2369]

Being a Green Card holder is the best status you can have with the United States. You're effectively a citizen. Have access to the entire job market except for defence positions, obviously. But you can exit this status very easy, unlike renunciation. Most people, especially if they've got another western passport, don't need the US one for ease of travel.

[@steven-k.]

@@alexvig2369 Disagree on that one, because you can't be non-resident for tax purposes and it's quite an easy status to lose. My nephew was an LPR and someone at the union where he used to work registered him to vote without his permission, they faked his signature, and that caused him an enormous problem. It's very easy to get into legal problems if you've got a green card. If you're going to be living in the US, the tax problems are a non-issue, if you're an LPR, you HAVE to live in the US.

[@alexvig2369]

@@steven-k. your nephew's story is the stupidest reason ever to be afraid of becoming an LPR. All I'm saying is that if you were not born in America and somehow got to have a green card, you should probably not go through with naturalization and just remain an LPR for tax purposes.

[@steven-k.]

@@alexvig2369 well, he didn't think so, he nearly got deported. It's pretty common for people who've been convicted of relatively minor drug offenses for example to be put into removal proceedings. If you're actually living in the US, then the tax situation is the same, and like I said, an LPR can't be non-resident for tax purposes which is probably why Kevin O'Leary gave it up. The tax issues for non-resident US citizens are overblown for a number of reasons, but the main one is that renouncing doesn't remove the IRS from your life. You have to file a 1040NR and an 8854 for ten years afterwards and passive US income is subject to non-resident alien tax, which is often higher than what you would pay as a US citizen, because it's a 30% flat tax, although a lot of countries have a tax treaty that reduces it to 15% (but not the ones with no income taxes). To avoid significant US taxes, you also have to liquidate your US investments, and that typically doesn't make sense given that investments in US dollars are usually the most lucrative. Yes, you can invest in US investments as a foreigner, but there's no tax advantage to renouncing US citizenship because of the NRA tax.

[@kitxxxxxxx]

You're not effectively a citizen. You have residency status and this comes with different rights. But I do agree that unless you want to immigrate to the states don't get the passport. It locks you in.

British Overseas Territory Citizens of Bermuda who also have Bermudian status have the same level of visa free access to the USA as Canada. I suspect that you can thank Hamilton for that particular special relationship. No, not the city.

[@steven-k.]

As a visitor they do, but they don't have the same situation with other categories, some of which they need visas for (i.e. a counterfoil in the passport) and TN-1 for example is only for Canadians. In British law they're called: "Belongers of Bermuda." I think other British territories had a similar arrangement, but since they became independent, they've needed visas. Belongers of the BVI for example can visit the USVI visa-free.

[@jeremyleonbarlow]

@@steven-k. BVI, Turks & Caicos, and Cayman Islands BOTC's access is not the same 180 days as Canadians and Bermudians. They also require a pre-clearance like other Visa Waiver Program participants. The Bermudians which is separate from even belonger status -Bermuda is the only one of the BOT's with 3 tiers of status the way I understand it, are eligible like Canadians to enter the US for a visit without preclearance. BOTC's of Bermuda who do not have Bermudian status -which is a possibility, have to apply for a visa to the US. There are Bermudians, then there are naturalized BOTC's of Bermuda who are belongers, but not Bermudians, then there are natural born BOTC's of Bermuda who are not belongers necessarily unless their parent's are Bermudians in which case they are not only belongers, but likely Bermudians. Then there are Permanent Resident's who are Commonwealth Citizens who if they have been in Bermuda since the 1980s may be Bermudians and are belongers, then there are Permanent Residents who are not commonwealth citizens who are potentially eligible to become belongers if they naturalize. Then there are people who might be eligible to become Permanent Residents who have a path to becoming belongers, but not Bermudians. Then there are residents with no path to permanent residency. Having actual Bermudian status which is a separate category and not merely belonger status is required for the special access to the US enjoyed by Bermudians. Unless you are married to a Bermudian or have been in Bermuda as a resident since the 1980s I do not believe there is a path to Bermudian status, but there may be a path to belonger status. It is a weird place in terms of how it's "citizenship" and nationality works. You may be a Bermuda citizen, but never become a national entitled to vote. As for TN visa access Mexican and Canadian citizens are both eligible for those visas under the NAFTA replacement treaty that creates a special business visitor visa category for all 3 countries under the free trade agreement.

Can't believe you've excluded Lebanon. Where else could you escape in a music box and get away with it

Great to get him out of the US, can you get Trump out too??

“Australia is the lucky country” Imagine a country size of America with 25million citizens ONLY …. the banks are very friendly and you can build-up a portfolio of 10 properties in 5 years. You can take all that cashflow pay of the bank loans AND travel the world two months per year with $50,000USD spending money!! as your Aussie portfolio matures you can have $100,000 excess rent money to travel the world. I ❤️ Australia 🇦🇺 proud immigrant!!

Not sure what is the value for him in obtaining this passport. Probably he does not understand the liability that comes with this passport, He could be detained for few words that does not please the people in power, he could lose all his assets and investment in that country in a blink like thousands before him.

Kevin has Lebanese heritage too. He said that on TV during one interview.
