The USA never liked citizenship by investment which is a method of obtaining citizenship of a country through investments in specific industries approved by the government. This includes real estate and economic contribution through donation. We see how the United States Federal government has become more aggressive with second citizenship.

The privileges you enjoy having dual citizenship; includes access to the social services programs and systems of two countries. You can also vote in local elections and may be able to run for office in either country. Moreover, you can work in either country without work permits or visas. You can attend universities in either country at the tuition rate offered to citizens, as opposed to the higher tuition rate often applied for foreign students.

Public servant is a huge category including janitors in public schools who would have no conflict whatsoever. It is also impossible to “suspend” dual citizenship. People who are dual citizens do not necessarily have dual loyalty and the only proper restriction would be the exact same way we deal with any potential conflict of interest, that being to require them to declare their second citizenship and recuse themselves on voting on issues or exercising discretion over matters dealing with that country.

That is fine, so long as (1) we are only talking about politicians and other politically appointed officials as opposed to people who are merely working in the government,and (2) politicians must attempt to renounce their other citizenship but if the other country does not accept the renunciation, they will be allowed to keep their dual citizenship with the understanding that they will recuse themselves. You need to understand that you can be granted dual citizenship via birth and not be allowed to renounce it, so we really should not allow other countries to hold us hostage by refusing to allow renunciation or, even worse, decide to unilaterally “grant” citizenship just to prevent people from serving our country - I can imaging North Korea just deciding to unilaterally grant our politicians North Korean citizenship just to mess with us (and yes, legally, they could do exactly that because we cannot force other countries to revoke citizenship or even prevent them from granting citizenship on their own just because they want to do so even if the person who is being granted citizenship does not want it.

I saw how my mother and her siblings were unable to get their second citizenship by descent from Trinidad and Tobago, once things got terribly bad in my country. My grandparents had both US residency and Caribbean citizenship, but because things were going so well in Venezuela in the 50s, 60s, 70s, and 80s, they didn’t work on securing and passing along those other options; and their children never thought things would get this bad.

After few years I got fired and they were given my full time job. I was being told, they are on visa so they need job more than me, to stay in the US. I had faced so many difficulties raising my little daughter (a US citizen). How could company treat a US citizen(single citizenship) and parents/guardian of US citizen as second priority while foreign workers job is first priority for them? Not fair that's why some people think to take dual citizenship. At least to raise our American children we can work in some other country.

They make it so hard that you have to hire someone to do everything for you. They have just recently added a 10 year visa but if I understand it correctly you have to put $80,000.00 in a bank and you can't touch it until your 10 years are up. If I had a spare $80,000.00 I probably wouldn't be living in Thailand. They also announced a visa for investment in a business, there are some stipulations and I'm not sure what it is but I do know you have to invest a significant amount of money and you can only own 49 percent of the business. A local Thai person has to own 51 percent of the business. I think thats about all I have for you now.

[@flowbrandz316]

It depends on what you mean. Easiest to get as an American? Allows you yo come back to the US without a visa?.... Id say ur best option is a European citizenship by descent. So if one of your parents, a grandparent, and in some cases a great grandparent were Italian, Greek, Irish, German, and a few others, you qualify for this citizenship. Though you need the documents. After that, if you have the money, Caribbean passports by investment, since they give you visa free travel to the EU. A lot of Caribbean countries offer citizenship by descent as well(Mexico does too), so doublecheck that if your family comes from an island nation. Finally, latin America is your best option if you don't have the wealth or the DNA. In this instance you will want to get a fully remote job that allows you to work outside of the US. From there you have a handful of options. But, Argentina is the fastest at two years. Also, if you're about to have a baby do it in Mexico or Brazil. That gets you on the fast track to citizenship in those places (two years and one year respectively). Finally, you want as many as you can reasonably get in my opinion. We're living through crazy times and you never know what can happen. Keep watching Andrew and check out the website sovereignman as well. They have a ton of great info on this stuff. Best of luck!

I do not always agree with your line of thinking but I believe you are right about having options and how these are becoming more limited and difficult to obtain. Countries, regardless of our emotional attachments, are no more than corporations and citizens are inventory. This is why these national corporations feel entitled to a significant share of our income, gains, gifts, property, rents, and royalties. It is difficult to describe it in any other way as enslavement. However, the additional passport is not a get out of jail free card, it is just another instrument of control (jurisdiction) that you adopt; so choose carefully because some countries are more predatorial than others. You also have to think about cultural congruency with your values and the tax by marriage or divorce that can drive you insane, deprive you of your freedom or cost you your life.

LOL Reagan and his "trickle down economics" and federal spending only increased the mess we are in today. All he was good at was making jokes.

This anti government propaganda..libertarian? It's a dead end. Just work for good government like other highly developed countries.

Canadian seem to have it pretty good in America. You can be a Canadian citizen and obtain a US Bank account with a US credit card but yet not the other way around

I'm a Maltese citizen by ancestry. Not wealthy, but I also like to go where I'm treated best. That ain't the US. I have not renounced my US citizenship, only because I worked hard for my Social Security check, and you never know when some wacko might get elected who would cut that off from ex-citizens.

[@endtimesareuponus8930]

Since your retirement is from the US (like mine), we always have to pay federal taxes so might as well keep the citizenship too.

[@tinabraxton4906]

@Coco_fit At present, it would not make a difference. But who knows what laws will be passed in the future? It is not a risk I want to take.

[@SlugSage]

@Coco_fit no.

[@gall6336]

No. If you renounce your US citizenship you do not lose your social security when you retire wherever you live in the world. As long as you have paid in at least 40 quarters you will get US social security citizen or not!

Hi Andrew! My step father adopted me when I was 14 and I have an official birth certificate showing him as my father...could I possibly qualify for citizen by decent thru his family? Thank you for all your great content!

[@GringoMexicano007]

100% yes. Especially if the adoption papers are from US Canada etc... if their from latin/south america countries it will be problematic. I went through the citizenship by descent for Italy (american)

[@murkywaters5502]

@@GringoMexicano007 Can you clarify what you mean? Are you saying that you are biologically not of Italian descent, but because a family of Italian descent adopted you that you qualified for citizenship by descent?

[@kingdomfor1]

I'm British born , but also Australian citizenship. I have a daughter who was born in Australia, she was able to get a British passport because I was a British citizen. I have an adopted son, but when he applied to get a British passport , the UK said no , its only for my biological children. So it depends on the country I think.

[@aquariusmontoya]

Well my grandmother is born in Florence Italy she never became a us citizen I have Italian citizenship because of she never became a naturalized citizen so I think you can be a citizen of you’re adoptive father’s country through decent
