Who wouldn’t want that? Having dual citizenship - or even multiple citizenships - is an important step to internationalizing your life so that no single government ‘owns’ you.
Looking after your growing net worth, tending to your business, and balancing family life all at the same time is hard work. You don’t need to worry about what happens if there is civil unrest or if your government suddenly decides to raise the tax rates.
Not if you have ‘citizenship insurance’. Not if you have a second passport.
A second passport will ensure that you reap all the benefits - tax optimization, improved travel potential, protection against controlling governments, and more - counterbalanced by an acceptable (to you) level of risk.
In this video, Andrew shares the ten worst passports and explains why they don't matter.

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 🤣.

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 2 жыл бұрын
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 2 жыл бұрын
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.

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.

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.
