General rule: If dual citizenship is allowed and you are eligible for another passport, just get it. If dual citizenship is not allowed, then you have to debate the pros and cons.

100% that’s what I did - married a Brit and eventually got citizenship. So glad I did being an Aussie by birth!

No huge benefits to British citizenship for Irish citizens. Irish citizens can live and work in the UK as well as vote there and run for office. The main benefit to British citizenship is probably access to a better embassy network.

My Preferred Tier A Passport would be Bulgaria even though it is A minus and is considered to be the worst EU Passport. Reason being that they simply leave you alone in that country when you don't live there.

American who just got UK passport through descent (Father). It’s my plan B and May plant a flag in cheaper northern England. It would make a great base for vacationing throughout Europe without having to transit into the US on a regular basis.

I don’t see the value of the UK passport without the EU

My ancestors left the UK for Africa

Don't want their hard work to go to waste 👍

I am UK citizen and I am trying to leave the country. Taxes are high and are currently being raised and likely to go higher in the future and there is a lot of general Government overreach - although less so than mainland Europe. If you must live in Western Europe it's probably the best of a bunch of rotten eggs. But if you can live elsewhere I would probably do that!

I am honestly considering renouncing my Australian citizenship. This place has gone to the dogs.

To get British Citizenship, you just arrive at Dover on a rubber dingy.
You get free accomodation and meals and get leave to stay and then British Citizenship after 5 years.

Andrew, I think it would be an interesting video and many people would like to know, if you did a video on the best countries to live in, which also give you the easiest and longest lasting travel back to the United States. For example, citizens of the Bahamas can stay up to 6 months in the USA. It might be easier for some people to leave, if they knew how easy it was to come back and visit.

I have a US passport and learned I could do get a UK passport from my father’s former citizenship… so I did! I have both but my father only has a US! Lol

I moved from South Africa to the UK 20 years ago and for the first time I am considering moving back (though I have been advised against this). I used to have this naive, romantic notion I was returning to the land of my ancestors.

The direction this country is moving in is making me very uncomfortable, at least the South African government is not competent enough to brainwash its people, here they have it down to a fine art.

UK will probably go the USA route and tax it's citizens worldwide. That's why I didn't go for it. As a European citizen I am also not convinced the EU won't do the same. So my plan its to get Caribbean citizenship.

If possible, request you to please create a "moving to Scotland" video.... advantages, disadvantages, easy of getting a PR for job or for retirement, etc... thanks.

Being born in Belfast, pretty good deal as we can hold both Irish & British citizenship from birth.

[oliverqueen]

I have UK & France citizenship like my mother, and my dad has Irish (I was born in Ireland too but am somehow not eligible anymore for it) citizenship. Irish is light years clear, far better than both of the others combined.

Dubai newly introduced %9 corporate taxes, maybe you should do an episode about that.

British citizens, I would like to address you, especially those who work in the field of obtaining documents. I am not British, but for several years I have been actively helping British organizations to combat the homeless, animals, etc. In general, I was engaged in charity work. I want to get a UK passport, the fact is that here I found an excellent job in the IT field. I understand that this will not be an easy path, but those who have been through this, please help! I promise to live in good faith and also do charity work! Thank you in advance!
