The zap is back.

It's important people pursuing 2nd citizenship make this simple distinction when evaluating options. 👇 #multiplecitizenship #dualcitizenship #freedomofmovement #rightofresidency https://www.malakoutilaw.com/second-citizenship-core-vs-satellite-residency-rights-mobility-concepts

Most of my American clients looking for a 2nd citizenship want a lifestyle with: - 2 or 3 citizenships - 2 homes, at least one of which is in the U.S. They want to keep their U.S base and spend significant time in the U.S. (at least 4 months/year). They just want to add a 2nd citizenship, and possibly a home, of a country they like and that can serve as a #PlanB if necessary. This is the new mobility play of the upper-middle class remote working Americans. Renouncing U.S. citizenship is far from the minds of most of them. #freedomofmovement #dualcitizenship #americandualcitizenship #mobilitynostr

Any friction imposed on your ability enter your country of citizenship is a serious infringement on human freedom. The only acceptable leeway should be to verify a) who you are, and b) that you're a citizen. Hopefully there'll be a mobility amendment in the U.S. one day to codify this principle into a right and provide ample disincentivizing punishment for those who violate it. #freedomofmovement #mobilityamendment #USA #Australia #Canada

Multiple citizenship is the master key. The best parachute. The safety net. The refuge. The shelter. The springboard. The shield. The snowshoe. The flywheel. The greatest entrance and the exit in the world of nation states as sovereigns. #freedomofmovement

It's become very "à la mode" among some in the multiple citizenship/global mobility space to bash U.S. citizenship as nearly useless. The reality is that if guaranteed access to the U.S. is critical to you for the rest of your life, you'll never be able to cobble together a substitute for U.S. citizenship that will give you the same strength of right of - entry, - stay, - transit, - access to business & industry, - access to the job market, in the U.S. Not even having an EU citizenship with ESTA & E-2 eligibility. If that tradeoff for the benefits (tax, financial reporting or otherwise) is fine for you then act accordingly. But know the facts and don't get caught up in trendy, uninformed takes. #uscitizenship #freedomofmovement #multiplecitizenship

If a particular jurisdiction wanted to sell a fake eutopia as a honeypot for successful entrepreneurs, I imagine they'd 1. Lure entrepreneurs in with a low or no-tax policy that can (will) be ratcheted up later 2. Slap a thin veneer of social freedom on top of a deeply autocratic, surveillance-state govt 3. Pour billions into legacy media & influencers who will shill anything or any place for a buck 4. Try to brazenly frame strictly exclusionary naturalization policies as some kind of value marker. Nation states can be slick marketers too. #freedomofmovement #multiplecitizenship #fakepassportrankings

I help people, including Americans, maximize their freedom of movement among countries by getting citizenships, residencies and visas. #multiplecitizenship #mobilitynostr

Below is a great, albeit sad example of #5 on my list or “passport attack vectors” (linked in the comments). 👇 “They have been stranded in the country without their passports, some left to fend for themselves while their families found safer refuge. The passports, they say, were destroyed by the US embassy, where the documents were being held for visa processing when the fighting broke out.” Also, a description of how exit doors close for nationals when a country falls into turmoil. 👇 “On June 10, Egypt’s Foreign Ministry changed the rules to require all Sudanese to obtain electronic visas for entry. Previously, only men between ages 18 and 49 required an entry visa, with exemptions for women, children and the elderly.” Visas, residencies and citizenship opportunities that appear just a few steps away during normal times disappear into thin air when crisis strikes. And crisis can strike overnight. #sudan #freedomofmovement #passport #dualcitizenship
