Nice info, thanks. Reminds me of an old Italian family on how they preserved their wealth through the centuries. The answer was gold, art and land. In particular, as the supply lines go down and globalization with it, I'd consider a self-sustaining farm in one of the Med countries. Then at least the food supply is secured.

16:09 "If you are saying, ok, I am willing to go spend some time somewhere. Any of the programs that can take you a couple years to get, something like *Argentina*, Peru, these are actually good passports" In my opinion the Argentinian citizenship can be a liability, since there is no process to renounce it, and their government already has a wealth tax for individuals domiciled in Argentina, all their governments in the past half a century loved to create all kinds of taxes, I wouldn't be surprised at all if they expand the wealth tax to also include individuals who are Argentinian citizens no matter where they are domiciled, it just really seems like an unnecessary risk to take. As opposed to the Mexican permanent residency having lifelong value, the Argentinian citizenship has lifelong risks

After MADdemic, Permanent Residency appears to live up to promise...easy anytime access just based on permanent stamp. Manila infrastructure not to be trusted again after MADdemic, but BORACAY world class beach with decent infrastructure (transportation, food, housing). Citizenship meh...not in Asia. Probably PLAN C...elite THAI...to bounce for relief or more serious medical needs. Less than 100k to start. If BTC ever performs to PLAN B Stock to FLow...maybe we do something more exotic. ;)

Michael, another great informative video. I've heard that getting a Portugal D7 visa is very quick, which does require a 6 month stay, but would only need to be proved when renewed in two years. If one had not complied, at that time one could apply for the Golden Visa. then benifit would be that 2 years would have counted towards citizenship. What are your thoughts?

The EU esp countries like Portugal and Greece are going to be very severely impacted by the fallout from the Ukraine war. When Russia turns off the gas and stops exporting food inflation is going to skyrocket. As well the long arm of the EU will continue to exert more and more pressure on poorer member states to comply with these self destructive policies. Best to avoid the EU and look for a less risky destination.

Great video. Curious why you didn't mention Serbia? Buy a property for any price and get a residency permit. Then after 5 years, as long as nothing changes, citizenship! I was planning to do this until I heard that they don't really like people to get citizenship, so unless you're adding big money or many jobs to the economy, I heard they'll often find a reason to deny residency permit and make you start the whole 5 years over again. Do you know if this is true with Serbia?
