If I have to spend a ton to get an Egyptian passport...I want something big in return ...like a pyramid...

Come here to Canada and have the authentic experience of having your bank account frozen!

France has the best tax treaty with the US for retirees. Zero taxes on your US pension and zero taxes on capital gains. After three months of residing continuously in France, you are then eligible to apply for the public health system in which you only pay 27 euros to see a general practitioner.

You give a very laboured briefing to get across a few points.

My son says he has a Turkish Passport. Interesting to understand how he did it. It came as a shock as the only other person from the family that went there was blown to bits at Gallipoli. It is so surprising how things change in subsequent generations.

"Plan C, D, F"...I'll probably have to take plan F since that was my most common letter during school...

THIS, is the content i subscribe for. You are awesome Andrew, Thank you again!

It is easy in Brazil. Just go there, look for a simple job and ask for your visa to be changed. Live there for 5 years and you get a passport.

I have a passport of a legacy country and another of an emerging country. I'm good.

[erkinoks]

This is amazing thank you so much Andrew 👏

Thanks for your work, another very interesting video. Is there actually a video in which the Palau ID is discussed?

Stack up 6 or 7 figures and you will acquire second citizenship pretty easily in a handful of caribean nations. The other way around is to pile humongous amount of money into a business or stocks to reap dividends before getting naturalized.

Sometimes a permanent residence in a country might be better than citizenship.

Can you make a video on what residence permits with a path to citizenship that you can get by being in certain in demand fields without needing a work visa supported by a company in the foreign country necessarily? For example, I am looking into moving to Colombia and found out I qualify for residency through the independent professional visa option. I think I’ve seen a similar program for Ireland who needs people from certain skilled professions (ex. I’m a speech-language pathologist) or El Salvador that’s offering their free 5, 000 passports to skilled professionals. Would be another interesting “free” residence/passport option that I believe some countries offer but it’s not a highly discussed option

My son is applying for Italy. My wife came from Italy as a teenager, and my grandparents came from Italy (1912). So I think he has some chance, but it is a long process.

Coming back to your country of birth, having all German roots, speaking the language, looking German, but only having a Canadian passport (due to German regulations at the time) makes you eligable for a stay in Germany for up to 90 days. That's it!

Please advise your viewers NOT to move to Costa Rica. This country is EXTREMELY expensive. It’s more expensive than many countries in Europe. We call it Monaco of Central America. We are returning to US with plans to move somewhere else after living here in Costa Rica for 4 years.

Great post. I definitely would not want an Egyptian passport. Many countries make it very difficult to visit with one.

Interestinly, Jordan does not only come with a citizenship program, but also with a permanent residency program for property investment as low as usd 200'000. As the passport is not powerful anyway, maybe the residency program is the better option for retirees.

For me Akaba is a high end place to live, with all amenities given and a great tax regime (only local income is taxed and due to special economic zone, goods are duty free and consumer prices are very affordable). And the property prices are considarably low for such a prime place with perfect year around climate.

I just wonder why is this option not more famous?

I live in Sharm el Sheik (Red Sea) and I love it. After 25 years in S.E.A I\m happy here. Red Sea cities are very relaxed and western woman wear European clothes. Weather is fantastic, although summer is hot.
