The issue with Hungary is its ties to Russia and the Hungarian president's weird politics. Eh.

There's an exception for the EU if I remember correctly, which is probably your case

@@My_Old_YT_Account If you're a Hungarian citizen only (not having other passports) and you live in a country that doesn't have a double taxation treaty agreement with Hungary then you have to pay tax in Hungary. You're right all the EU countries have double taxation treaty agreement with Hungary as many other countries do.

I almost moved there.

@@spicychad55 1. You are mixing up president with prime minister. 2. There are several hundred thousand ethnic Hungarians living in the western part of Ukraine (that area was part of Hungary for thousand years until the end of WW1). Even during the Soviet era, those Hungarians were allowed to have Hungarian language schools and publish books and newspapers in Hungarian. It remained the same until very recently when the current Ukrainian government prohibited Hungarian language education and heavily restricted Hungarian publications. Even the EU protested, the Ukrainian response was "f... off", of course in diplomatic language. 3. When Hungary joined the EU the country had to stop using coal fired power stations, mainly because the Germans demanded. So all power stations were converted to oil and the coalmines were closed. Oil is coming from Russia, Hungary has no ports to import oil from somewhere else. There is a small pipeline from Croatia that they are trying to improve, but it will be a while before the capacity will be big enough to substitute Russian oil. 4. OK this is a bit off, but in 1956 when the Soviet troops put down the revolution the troops were mainly from Ukraine for the simple reason that they were the closest. Ukraine after gaining independence never even said sorry. We do not expect any compensation but if Germany still has to apologise for WW2, the Ukrainians should do the same for 1956.

So the US doesn't tax by citizenship per se, it taxes by where the money was made, but you still need to report your income to the IRS and pay taxes on any money made in the US even if you aren't currently residing there. So if you're running a business that operates in several countries as a US expat you'll need to pay US taxes on any money made by the US part of your business

depends if the country made a tax deal with US like Portugal and few others.@@mrvwbug4423

If I recall corrctly, the US taxes all income no matter where it is made BUT you write off taxes paid to a foregin government to avoid doible taxation. Alot of kids born to parents who used to be in the US on student visas or working here, who then moved home, get a surprise when they become adults and the IRS reaches out to them for the taxes they arent currently paying. It’s not the kids fault but it is the law and it is their parents fault for not telling them.

As soon as you move abroad and notify the argentine embassy you've set your residency somewhere else, you become a foreigner and pay taxes as such in Argentina (only if you have profits in Argentina) and as a resident where you've chosen to live. The moment someone decides to live in Argentina, no matter what citizenship he/she bares, and makes profit, thay will have to pay income tax and wealth tax (no double taxation if you have profits or wealth abroad).

@@koala2464 Can't deny it, sadly, it's something more clear in countries where you have mandatory things like conscription. Thankfully most civilized countries allow you to forfeit your citizenship. Some might require you to be property of another state first, but having no passport is surely a problem (intentionally) as well as having no fixed residency anywhere (for tax purposes). You can't just be resident nowhere to avoid paying taxes anywhere if you have any income or investments. I understand why they do it, though. If you're wealthy enough it makes no sense to pay taxes where you can just afford using private out of pocket services. It's not like you'll receive the best care or education for free anywhere (good is not the best, if you're stuck with everybody else you're likely going to be another worker bee, I didn't escape it and so won't most people born outsider).

@@alexfrost5220 That would still count as a foreign credit card in most jurisdictions. Remember, the local ATM network is owned by a small group of local banks so anything that is not their own card is foreign to them. Their software may not recognize or process anything not issued by them or (more commonly), they will restrict withdrawals and charge high fees. The days of having a global Visa or Mastercard network, with the same privelages worldwide, are long gone.

@@SoulEternalPeaceWarrior77 Of course, every bank and every country has their own specific rules but across Latin America (generally) bank access is a difficult issue. I haven't tried opening a bank account in Mexico so can't speak from first hand experience but in Brazil, Argentina and Chile, they generally require you to be a minimum of a legal resident (and maybe a permanent resident) and to be able to demonstrate at least six months of local income. Given the large number of ex-pats in Mexico, there is a possibility that at least one of the local banks seek to provide banking services to foreigners but unless one of the ex-pat forums has some good advice, the only way is to walk into a bank and try to open an account.

🐟 22. ILLEGITIMATE GOVERNANCES: SOCIALISM (and its more extreme form, communism) is intrinsically evil, because it is based on the ideology of social and economic egalitarianism, which is both a theoretical and a practical impossibility. Equality exists solely in abstract concepts such as mathematics and arguably in the sub-atomic realm. Many proponents of socialism argue that it is purely an economic system and therefore independent of any particular form of governance. However, it is inconceivable that socialism/communism could be implemented on a nationwide scale without any form of government intervention. If a relatively small number of persons wish to unite in order to form a commune or worker-cooperative, that is their prerogative, but it could never work in a country with a large population, because there will always exist entrepreneurs desirous of engaging in wealth-building enterprises. Even a musician who composes a hit tune wants his song to succeed and earn him inordinate wealth. Socialism reduces individual citizens to utilities, who, in practice, are used to support the ruling elite, who are invariably despotic scoundrels, and very far from ideal leaders (i.e. compassionate and righteous monarchs). Those citizens who display talent in business or the arts are either oppressed, or their gifts are coercively utilized by the corrupt state. Despite purporting to be a fair and equitable system of wealth distribution, those in leadership positions seem to live a far more luxurious lifestyle than the mass of menial workers. Wealth is effectively stolen from the rich. Most destructively, virtuous and holy teachings (“dharma”, in Sanskrit) are repressed by the irreligious and ILLEGITIMATE “government”. The argument that some form of government WELFARE programme is essential to aid those who are unable to financially-support themselves for reasons beyond their control, is fallacious. A righteous ruler (i.e. a saintly monarch) will ensure the welfare of each and every citizen by encouraging private welfare. There is no need for a king to extort money from his subjects in order to feed and clothe the impoverished. Of course, in the highly-unlikely event that civilians are unwilling to help a person in dire straits, the king would step-in to assist that person, as one would expect from a patriarch (father of his people). The head of any nation ought to be the penultimate patriarch, not a selfish buffoon. DEMOCRACY is almost as evil, because, just as the rabble favoured the murderous Barabbas over the good King Jesus, the ignorant masses will overwhelmingly vote for the candidate which promises to fulfil their inane desires, rather than one which will enforce the law, and promote a wholesome and just society. Read Chapter 12 for the most authoritative and concise exegesis of law, morality, and ethics, currently available. Even in the miraculous scenario where the vast majority of the population are holy and righteous citizens, it is still immoral for them to vote for a seemingly-righteous leader. This is because that leader will not be, by definition, a king. As clearly and logically explicated in the previous chapter of this Holy Scripture, MONARCHY is the only lawful form of governance. If an elected ruler is truly righteous, he will not be able to condone the fact that the citizens are paying him to perform a job (which is a working-class role), and that an inordinate amount of time, money and resources are being wasted on political campaigning. Furthermore, an actual ruler does not wimpishly pander to voters - he takes power by (divinely-mandated) force, as one would expect from the penultimate alpha-male in society (the ultimate alpha-male being a priest). The thought of children voting for who will be their parents or teachers, would seem utterly RIDICULOUS to the average person, yet most believe that they are qualified to choose their own ruler - they are most assuredly not. Just as a typical child fails to understand that a piece of sweet, juicy, healthy, delicious fruit is more beneficial for them than a cone of pus-infested, fattening, diabetes-inducing ice-cream, so too can the uneducated proletariat not understand that they are unqualified to choose their own leader, even after it is logically explained to them (as it is in this chapter, as well as in the previous chapter). And by “uneducated”, it is simply meant that they are misguided in the realities of life and in righteous living (“dharma”, in Sanskrit), not in facts and figures or in technical training. Intelligence doesn't necessarily correlate to wisdom. No socialist or democratic government will educate its citizens sufficiently well that the citizens have the knowledge of how to usurp their rule. To put it frankly, democracy is rule by the “lowest common denominator”. It should be obvious that ANARCHY can never ever succeed, because even the smallest possible social unit (the nuclear family) requires a dominator. Any family will fall-apart without a strict male household head. In fact, without the husband/father, there is no family, by definition. The English noun “husband” comes from the Old Norse word “hûsbôndi”, meaning “master of the house”. The same paradigm applies to the extended family, which depends on a strong patriarchal figure (customarily, the eldest or most senior male). Likewise with clans, tribes, villages, towns, cities, and nations or countries. Unfortunately, there are many otherwise-intelligent persons who honestly believe that an ENTIRE country can smoothly run without a leader in place. Any sane person can easily understand that even a nuclear family is unable to function properly without a head of the house, what to speak of a populous nation. The reason for anarchists' distrust of any kind of government is due to the corrupt nature of democratic governments, and the adulteration of the monarchy in recent centuries. However, if anarchists were to understand that most all so-called “kings/queens” in recent centuries were not even close to being true monarchs, they may change their stance on that inane “system”. Most of the problems in human society are directly or indirectly attributable to this relatively modern phenomenon (non-monarchies), since it is the government’s role and sacred DUTY to enforce the law (see Chapter 12), and non-monarchical governments are themselves unlawful. One of the many sinister characteristics of democracy, socialism, and other evil forms of governance, is the desire for their so-called “leaders” to control, or at least influence, the private lives of every single citizen (hence the term “Nanny State”). For example, in the wicked, decadent nations in which this holy scripture was composed, The Philippine Islands and The Southland (or “Australia”, as it is known in the Latin tongue), the DEMONIC governments try, and largely succeed, in controlling the rights of parents to properly raise, discipline and punish their children according to their own morals, compulsory vaccination of infants, enforcing feminist ideology, limiting legitimate powers an employer has over his servants, subsidizing animal agriculture, persecuting religious leaders (even to imprisonment and death, believe it or not. Personally, I have been jailed thrice for executing God’s perfect and pure will), and even trying to negatively influence what people eat and wear. Not that a government shouldn’t control what its citizens wear in public, but it should ensure that they are MODESTLY dressed, according to the guidelines outlined in Chapter 28, which is hardly the case in Australia, the Philippines, and similar nations. At least ninety-nine per cent of Filipinas, for instance, are transvestinal, despite Philippines pretending to be a religious nation. Cont...

I heard my hubby talking about that...his father was greek American (he passed away) but...he was carefuñ not to go back with his 2 sons.

This isn’t true, I got exempt from doing military service, got my passport before 18 and visit Greece most years and never had a single problem.

That is the only hiccup. I got my citizenship through my father and hold duel citizenship.

When Greece joined the EU, those hardline positions were dropped in favour of more progressive approaches to citizenship. Whilst conscription is mandatory for a Greek born person, conscription or forced conscription on duel citizenship people was dropped. At least in my case it was.
