So renounce your citizenship. You are entitled to travel identity documents in the country you reside in if you can’t get one from your country (or you are stateless)

[@net2dev]

@@RC94332 yes that is correct but now the process takes 2-3years due to the long list of applicants renouncing. the US making it difficult and charging taxes while you wait.

[@themorningflightinindonesi3558]

Andrew, I have a Pakistani passport but I started living abroad in 2009 at a younger age like 28 only. The passport doesn't matter if someone is committed to an overseas life. 🙏 It's true I haven't been moving freely across borders but it was not a problem as long as I pay for visa processing documents, and I generously paid for that. However, I'll modify my strategy in light of your videos for sure, and apparently your suggestions are quite feasible requiring payment for processing documents 🤣.

@@fadi.aldaas citizenship by investment. Which basically means you pay a certain amount to the country or buy real estate you wish to be a citizen of and upon approval and submission of relevant documents you get the passport in a matter of months. Some countries including but not limited to Caribbean countries offer CBI, turkey too so does Malta (18 months) and Portugal (via golden visa that turns into citizenship after 5 years). There is a wealth of information about CBIs on this channel.

Just go to California, Roe v Wade being overturned gives the power to each state, as such abortion will continue being legal in California as it's very left wing

@@My_Old_YT_Account good point, but Mexico or Canada might be closer depending on where you live. I already go to Mexico for my dental care. To my knowledge, nothing is stopping the federal government from banning abortion nationwide.

Please note that even those with undesirable passports who do travel, can, and do have a Western passport. The only issue is if their primary passport country forbids a dual citizenship

If you take into consideration other factors, I believe the worst passport ever is the Syrian. Simply because it costs $ 500 to renew it and it’s only for 2 years. You can’t get visa to anywhere and even if you decide to go to Syria. You have to pay $ 300 for every single time you enter the country! Now which one is the worst?!

I was wondering if anyone could help me out here. If I were to move to Croatia, would I have to pay taxes on my US disability benefits from the VA? I understand that if I were to buy a house, I would pay property taxes. But I have no other income so I’m not sure how income tax would work. (VA benefits/compensation is non-taxable in the US.)

[@fumble_brewski5410]

There's a website (Woods & Woods, LLC) that addresses your concerns. Short answer: yes, most VA disability benefits are payable to veterans residing overseas. I believe that it has more to do with WHERE you live overseas. Obviously, places like Cuba, Iran, North Korea and Venezuela are problematic.

[@deeteeemmsixtwotwo]

Find out whether Croatia has an agreement with US about income taxes not having to pay them in each country. Between Türkiye, where i am, and the US, there is an agreement that if i pay income tax on my US income i do not have to pay them again in Türkiye and vice versa.

[@alaskanwhiskey]

I'm already in croatia. And no you don't. I hope you have a croatian spouse or getting a digital nomad visa, which will not guarantee permanent residency. Quickest way to permanent residency here is to shack up. No other option unless you get a job. Americans get 90 days and you can't come back for 180 days in that period. I just got here to Zagreb a few days ago.
