Rights of EU Citizens (That Many Somehow Don't know!)

EU citizenship is AMAZING! If you have EU citizenship you're free to live, work and study in any of the 27 member states. You can spend as much time in any of the member states as you wish!

If your spouse has EU citizenship but you don't you're still able to move to any country you wish with your spouse.
You can get healthcare in any country, you can open bank accounts and send your kids to school. Hassle free!

Moving between EU countries is like moving from a city to a city within the same country. If you're an EU citizen you DO NOT need a visa to live in another member state: no need for business visas, Golden visas, student visas, or any other kind of visas. You can come and go as you wish, and you can bring your family with you.

Interestingly enough, many people don't know this. They don't know which rights do they have as EU citizens.

As we always say, EU citizenship is a golden ticket as it opens so many doors to yourself and your family. Even though EU countries have stronger or weaker passports (for example some countries can travel to the US and Canada visa-free, while others can't) getting a passport of any EU country is a great asset worth having.

Another neat thing is that if you're in a foreign country and need emergency consular assistance, and your country doesn't have a consulate in the country, you can receive assistance from any other EU country's consulate. Btw great channel. Much better than the Crapitalist channel.

You have a legal right to a bank account, but convincing a bank to let you open an account when you don't live in the country is an uphill battle

You should make a video on Top rank passports and your methodology for ranking passports.

This was a good one. I’ve been living in Portugal on D7 and was hoping to naturalize after five years. However, I did more research and found out that I’m actually eligible for Italian through my ancestry. I have job opportunities in Asia and don’t want to waste any more time. It will be fantastic that I won’t waste any more time and still get an EU citizenship with tons of benefits. If I want to go back to Portugal later or any other EU state I can. And of course as a travel document it’s fantastic along side others and I’ll never have an overstay problem in the EU

Also, if you are an EU citizen you could go to St Marteen for instance.

From a former EU citizen in the UK this is a great video. Shame our rights are now barely anything .

[snterp]

Finally good to see we have some rights and not just obligations to fund an ever-expanding oppressive bureaucracy. The free movement of people is a great thing though. Banks DEFINITELY don't always comply with EU rules.

Another major advantage of having an EU nationality is that you have an ease-of-access to live/work in non-EU Switzerland. However this benefit does not extend entirely to all EU nationals as those coming from some of the more recently joined countries (Romania/Bulgaria/Croatia) have a few more hurdles to go through - but nothing major from what I understand.

Boy am I really glad we in the UK pulled out of the EU, just what we need in this country is less rights and more restrictions #sadsarcasm

[mikes]

Right to an EU bank account only works if you are a tax paying resident. Otherwise you'll just be kicked out by most bank as they don't want to deal with the compliance cost... and doing it half, still pretending to be resident might get you into tax problems later on.

What are the easiest options for Americans? Portugal?

[paulfranchandyman]

Hello. Great video and information. I'm wondering how you arrived at the $750, 000 figure as the value of a EU passport? Please clarify. Thank you.

[kathrynd]

Thanks, there is definitely a value in the EU Passport!

[musavillarin]

You can do a video about the Benefits to get an Ecowas passport because I am thinking about it

As an EU national from country A, living and working in country B, could they stop their residency in country B and move to country C willy-nilly, and become tax liable for their income in country C exlusively, as soon as they have acquired residency in country C?
