I am Russian. Twice I was rejected the USA visa without any reason and any explanation. I lost 600$ in the application process and another 600$ in changing of the travel plans I had. I haven't seen more arrogant and inhuman officials than those of USA Embassies. They certainly don't make people like the country they represent.
@WilcoMR-S USA still has beautiful natural reserves and many important museums. These are part of the common human heritage, not a private property of the US russophobic government. I has applied for a tourist visa...
I hate what my country does to people trying to visit. IMHO, it comes from political grandstanding, but nobody listens to me. If you were going to see cities, don't worry, you didn't miss anything. But the natural wonders are really something. Go to Australia if you can, and New Zealand. Awesome places; if it makes you feel better, few Americans go there.
I completely agree. I am from Croatia and was rejected tourist US visa too. But next time company I was working for asked business visa for me and with their guarantee I managed to get it and went to US to work for a few months..
In my ignorance with only having a US passport, I only learned a few years ago that most other countries needed a Visa to visit the US. Having a US view point I just assumed that foreigners just did what I did. Buy a plane ticket, book a hotel and go! It was eye opening to know that it wasn't that simple for most of the world to visit the US and other western countries.
in my limited travels on a USA passport only had two visas, first was to Australia, second was to Myramar. both were relatively easy to get, at least easier than dealing with California DMV.
@king balam don't know about ETA, did have a letter of introduction from Stanford Children's Hospital that my son was safe to travel plus copies of insurance showing proof of ability to pay for any healthcare needed while in Australia, to show we would not be a burden to their national health plan.

You mean Myanmar. And AU if you’re staying 90 days or less requires only an e-visa which takes like 15 minutes online. It’s like 20 bucks and good for a year.
@@nhmooytis7058 yes, sorry for my spelling, in 1989 Myanmar only did a maximum of two week visas and it was required to purchase a tour package. We were met at airport in Rangoon by a representative of the Intourist Bureau, who was very helpful and cautioned us on what not to do during our stay. Everyone we met was amazing, polite and helpful. Inle Lake with floating gardens. Perhaps now they do visas for longer durations.

It should be easy to enter the US. Forget the passport and change your name to Jesus or Pablo, put on some old clothes, and sneak across the Southern border. They will greet you with open arms and probably give you some money.
Angola? - Who cares! Love the honesty. I mean, why would you care about a country you have no interest in ever visiting? We have to be practical, most people will never visit close to even 100 countries in their entire lifetime - let alone - 50. Most don‘t even leave their own country.
@@carlosdgutierrez6570 It's because increasingly people cannot own homes and land nor do they have children. Therefore they delude themselves into thinking they are sophisticated by living in small apartments in crowded cities and "class signaling" ( the more accurate term for " virtue signaling) to delude themselves. There is no wisdom or maturity in globe trotting merely status seeking. It is indeed sad and poor compensation for the lack of a real future.
Tino I'm currently here in CDMX. Been here on and off since Summer of 2018. Doing research on getting a residency here, since I'm happy planting a root here. How did you find the process? Easy? Tough?
Congrats! I'm actually in acapulco now! It's becoming much safer than in 2018 but that was not too long ago. Was it easy to get Mexican perm residency?
If you have the means to do Citizenship by Investment you can also just hire a Visa Agency who will fill forms and stand in line for you to get a CUNA visa.
Canada no longer allows residency by property investment. You can if you start a business though. Except Quebec allows it if you spend $1.2 Million. I think Australia requires $750k investment for residency.
Thank you for another great video, Andrew. Your personality shines just a little brighter here :-) love that. Having had to apply for a visa to the US in the past, dear oh dear, not exactly a jolly experience, not a rule however. I wonder how they treat Americans such as yourself who gave up US citizenship and ask for a visa with a passport from another country?
@@emanuelriquelmemontoya3819 True, but I don't need to live in either country. I was born in Brazil and acquired Italian citizenship by descent. Total cost was around 5k euros in papers and bureocracy, and now I can go pretty much anywhere in the world without a visa.
@@tigervalley62 brazil has very socialist politicians and socialist countries like Argentina and South Africa are very quick to impose new taxes really quickly and Argentinean friend told me that the new socialist president in less then 1 year add another 14 taxes including a wealth tax and south Africa they added a citizenship based taxation really quickly so if socialism wins in brazil maybe people won't have enough time to scape and italy has one of biggest economic crysis in europe and the eu economic zone favours high taxes and regulations instead of austerity from the politicians so it can be a problem
I'm in UK. Much quicker to list the countries I can still visit. None. Not even allowed to visit my Daughter in Glasgow. Turns out totalitarianism isn't all it's cracked up to be.
As a Dominican with only USA VISA (but interested in visiting Europe, Canada, NZ and Australia), I find the USA VISA the most charitable one once you get it. Fill out a long annoying and invasive form, pay $160 USD fee, do your "interview" at the the US embassy (of which they have one everywhere), if you're approved you generally get a multiple entry for 10 years and you get your passport back in less than a month. When I research the fees and processes for the Schengen, UK or NZ VISA, I immediately get a headache. For comparison, to apply for a 10 year multiple entry VISA to the UK, you have pay over 800 pounds. For NZ I'd have to mail my passport to Washington DC. So unfriendly.
I'm from the Dominican Republic as well and I experienced the same frustration as you, despite acquiring a US, or Canadian tourist visa is pretty annoying with sizeable fees at least they usually will grant you a 10-year tourist visa but if you wanna go to anywhere in the European union we no only have to get a visa but the visa cannot even last longer than 3 months which means you have to pay the fees and do all the paperwork every time you wanna travel there, as far as I know, they have a process in which if you travel there often you can a apply for a visa that can last from 1 year to 5 but is still a headache.
The best thing is to have a rich country passport for the rich or economically stable countries and a poor country passport for visiting the poor countries for your own safety

I'd renounce Citizenship in a heart beat if I could find anywhere else better to go. America is in the process of collapse, but unfortunately, no where else in the world offers the freedoms and opportunity that America has forsaken.
Marcus the US offers the best economic opportunities, yes!. Everything else about the US is subjective. Nevertheless, when US Companies are leaving the US, those economic opportunities go down in numbers. So what are these "freedoms" you are seeking that ONLY the US has? I'm VERY curious to know.

Like the way A.H. astutely and seamlessly weaves his way through a discussion of far-flung countries as relates to their passport/visa regulations. There's probably no one more dedicated to the world citizen way of life than Mr. Goody Two Shoes. Agree with him or not, you'd have to admire his understanding of business and investment anywhere on the planet and his ability to explain virtually every aspect of the complexities with clarity.

Well... What you said is true, to an extent... The whole world can be your oyster, if you have the right Passports Portfolio. Back in US after two years, specifically NYC which for all intent and purposes is the only city that matters, it just reiterate my intention to leave, close the door behind me and throw away the key. If I must come back for businesses I'll make it happen with the aforementioned option or just send an executive on my behalf. I've always agreed with *go where you are treated best* and that does not longer includes U.S.A. for a plethora of reasons. On a uplifting note I really like your suit, haircut and new set Andrew 😘👌🏽!
I enjoyed traveling around Equatorial Guinea mainly because it was the last Spanish speaking country I hadn't visited. But I cannot possibly imagine what you would do on a honeymoon.
"feel more at peace" is the right words. With the "most powerful" passport in the world, it's really tiring to keep from being punished for not fulfilling orders that are mandatory. I am thinking how to get out of this. I don't have millions to buy or invest. I don't see myself working as a foreigner in a country for 5 or 8 years for a new citizenship.
Even with a US passport I had to go to the embassy to get a visa for India. It was a minor inconvenience. Thankfully there was one in the city I lived in. I think I even walked there on my lunch break. Came back late from lunch, but otherwise not a big deal.
I know this post is over 1 year. However, did you get the 10 year Visa to India? I know India and China offer 10 year Visas to US Passport holders. Not expensive at all.
The only reason I would ever give up my US citizenship is to escape global taxation, but I don't even make enough money yet for that to be an issue. Some day though, if the FEIE is erased or something else like that happens, I will take one last long road trip around the country, see the grand canyon, do some hikes in Alaska, and then renounce once and for all.
There are still some benefits I could think of by being in America - like access to many different careers that in other countries (incl. Canada and EU) would be paying much less and you'd just have less opportunities. (I originally posted it as a reply to someone else, but I think it could also fit here) Having a Green Card is actually a superior status to being an American citizen, if you can get it. I'm a non-US person and if I ever get a reason to live permanently in the States this is as far as I'd go, but I would not go all the way and naturalize. A Green Card grants you with all rights and privileges an American would have except for voting, running for office and some government jobs that require a clearance. With the Green Card, it's a much easier process to sever your ties to America - along with the global taxation that comes with it.
I have a British passport by birth which cannot be denounced, an Australian passport from 1998, 3 year residency visa in Vietnam and 5 year business visa for China. I do well on the two passports over the years and pay no tax as I own the parent company in The Cayman Islands, I don't get chased for tax anywhere, never have. I will be in Chennai India for the next 3 years come March, final ESCAPE from socialist Mexico, so maybe I will apply for residency in India and maybe retire there. I guess I am an 'earth citizen', aren't we all?
I find British, Polish, South African and New Zealand work well for me. I abandoned my Green Card, it was my worst move and took me 9 years to get. Only stayed 3 years before I decided to pack up and leave. The countries I care most about being in are Slovenia, Japan and Scotland. Then Spain, South Africa, Bulgaria and New Zealand.

This video is clearly not for those who want to see the whole world. I want to visit every country one day - maybe I’m the only one in this list? Lol Also I must say, I don’t like how negative the view on mentioned sub Saharan African countries is here 😕.
Of course if you apply for a visa you can probably visit what, all of those countries, with a possible exception for the US depending on which consulate officer is reviewing it?
Many countries absolutely depend on tourism and outside business investment as part of their GDP. Most will open up as soon as possible mostly with the same agreements, with medical testing and possibly quarantine. Some never closed, like Korea. American currently in Taiwan.
In Serbia you can renounce your citizenship but the country will never renounce you. You can come back any time and pick up where you left off. The fact of having a birth certificate trumps everything else. Many people renounced their citizenship since it was a requirement by their adopted new country. But they enjoyed having their birth country still honoring their rights as citizen.
I don't think I'm anywhere near ready to give up my US citizenship. Just looking to add a few plan B's, C's, D's, etc. for living purposes if it came to that. For now, I can deal with the tax complexities.
Hey Andrew, If you want to travel into the U.S now you can blow off the visa, find a patch of unfinished border wall and just walk across into California or Texas. If your Spanglish is passable as native, U.S. Customs may detain you but only long enough to provide you with fulll American citizenship, free health insurance and a pre-filled mail-in ballot. Bienvenidos!! 👍🏼🙍🏻♂️👍🏼
I'd love to hear your experiences getting a visa to the US after giving up citizenship. How long does that sort of visa take? I'd imagine a lot of Americans watching have family back in the US. Can you get back quickly if something happens to them?
The newer introduction says "7 and 8 figure entrepreneurs" rather than "successful entrepreneurs." I guess if you make 900,000 per year, you're not worth the effort LOL.
To not be able to visit your home country without a visa is a big "freedom" or "peace of mind issue" for many who will have emotional ties, friends and family there. What if a family member is taken sick and you need to rush back? Or funerals etc, or just spontaneity? Getting a visa and entry to the USA is NOT a straightforward, pleasant and guaranteed process at all, even for me on ESTA as a European on a tier A passport I get grilled and barked at when visiting there. For me any complete passport portfolio for ex citizens must include visa free access to their home country. It's probably the very one country everyone would like to visit without strings - where they are originally from and where their roots are.
Well said. I’m Indian origin in possession of an Australian passport . I’ve applied for the Overseas Indian Citizen program for the same reasons you’ve mentioned. The only thing you need to know now is that I’m in India with family during the COVID situation.
@@nayaknaresh yes not everything in life is business and taxes! We're human too, we travel for a multitude of reasons. Glad you're well with your family
@@nayaknaresh with the new clampdown on global taxation and on income "arising in India"...OCI & investments in India lost theur sheen to me big time. Earlier by virtue of physical absence I could be tax free...if the devaluation took away my earnings the kind tax regime let me make some....now that's not the case. Rather enter India on a tourist Visa than through OCI...you are still standing in a queue anyway! Its not like am gonna stay there longer than 120 days ever...or think of investing or voting...or keep up with the moody RBI or crazed everchanging tax laws. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy the food, the palaces and color! But as an Indian, I no longer wish the OCI on the non resident Indian. I think its just a tax data collecting tool, and offers little else. Sorry.
@@wealthcreation6829 residency in India is based on the physical presence test, not citizenship. You need to be more than 4 months in India to be deemed resident. The type of passport or visa you hold doesn't matter to the income tax office. An Indian tourist visa is notoriously difficult to obtain. You also cannot re-enter India or reapply for a tourist visa for some time atleast once you have visited on a tourist visa. This is why most foreigners try to obtain an OCI foreigners card.
I believe in strong passports... especially for your children's sake. I like Portugal,Spain, UK, France, and Canada for their perks... the USA passports only real benefit is its a little harder for you to get hit with a drone strike when you have one.
One of the secret advantages of having a US passport is that you can change your identity at any time anywhere in the world and have multiple identities and carry multiple passports, as long as US is your home nation. No other nation has those kinds of perks, except the UK.
Still haven't figured out which passports you have...n which ones you going for next? This was a more funny video...we tend to get carried away by the herd mentality...
I'm a young 23 year old Mexican American currently living in NC. And I've had plenty of thoughts in the past about owning some land in a rural red state region with lower tax rates and also own property in Mexico. With all the political chaos and the likelihood of increased taxes and inflation in the future, I believe my ideas have been on the right path.

The biggest issue is that many routes go through the US or the cost of traveling goes down significally if you go through the US. So let say from Japan to Mexico, it will be around 2k usd, while if you go through LA it will go down to 1.5k usd. Same if you go through Toronto or Chicago down to 1.3k. So is not just a matter of avoiding going to the US but also passing by.
@@jordanwentzell5220 that's neither here nor there. The point is that there is more than just not being able to enter certain countries but even when you don't want to enter you can still be affected.
@@Jzarecta Sure. Also remember transiting through the US means dealing with the TSA, lack of sterile transit and other inconveniences. As a Canadian citizen I could transit through the US visa free, but I refuse to for these reasons.
So given the criteria of where you can't go and where the US passport would have gotten you, I have concluded that in addition to Comoros & St Lucia, that only Serbia would give you Kazakhstan & Mongolia without Paraguay & as an added bonus Vietnam. After that examining who is in & who is out for Paraguay, Mexico, Thailand & South Africa eliminated South & Central American countries from contention. I don't know if Thailand gives some special treatment to the MM2H visa holders, but assuming that it does not that leads me to believe citizenship by exception & a Georgian passport is on the list, & finally either Antigua & Barbuda or possibly though highly unlikely Saint Vincent being on the list. Alternatively if there were some exception to the rule against dual citizenship, I would say a Maldives passport gave you South Africa & Thailand with Serbia filling out what was lacking from Saint Lucia & Comoros, but it would have also given you Brunei. I can't be too far off can I? There is also the highly unlikely possibility of South African citizenship.
Actually, the US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand are to be avoided! The moment you land in these countries, you are immediately treated as a potential criminal on a "guilty, until proven innocent" basis. I much rather travel to more welcoming tourist destinations that don't require a visa for most Westerners and let you through without much bureaucracy!
For me, the benefits of US citizenship outweigh the costs. HOWEVER, I'm not at all convinced that it'll always be that way. Change is coming to the US; and it won't necessarily be good.
@Independent Thinker The CCP is the world's most dangerous regime! No ifs, ands or buts. They are slowly but surely (and covertly) trying to take over Canada (and Australia, if I'm not mistaken). The current Canadian government is a slave and worhipper of the CCP!
@Independent Thinker While the fall of the USA will affect every country on the planet, only the Western nations will suffer more, whereas, China and Asia will be the least affected. As Andrew mentioned in a previous video, we are beginning to witness a redistribution of wealth, in this case, from the west to the east. When Rome fell, it affected the other countries, but the world eventually adapted and moved on. The same happened with the Babylonian Empire and the British Empire, and for us, it will be no different.
@Independent Thinker Actually, I intend to by following Andrew's advice: I'm going where they treat me best! I recommend you do the same! All the best to you! ;)
I am a US citizen by birth. Other then Europe or certain Latin America, I have had to get visas for where I want to travel. Interestingly, you need a visa for India and Vietnam....two countries I go often. My wife is Vietnamese, and my ancestry in Indian. I get treated wore as an American when I arrive in Mumbai Airport, then a European or Latin American. I even threatened to walk over to the airline counter and immediately return home (and spend my US dollars elsewhere)...in India. I even threatened to tear up my India visa in front of the immigration officer. I was being harassed, and they were harassing my wife....me for being American, my wife because her US passport listed birthplace as Vietnam. After my 'bucking up' at 2:00 AM, they stamped the passport and let me through.
You blew some wonderful opportunities in Brunei. I work differently than you. I speak the language know their history, economy, and political views. This enables me to make some great connections and great deals. I understand your focus is different. Your concern is low taxes and multiple passports. 👍
What are your citizenships now? In DR is you get at least $1500 you can apply for the retiree resident permit which allows you to apply for citizenship in just 6 months after becoming a resident, which takes about 45 days from what I read
If you can get a Visa then it’s not true that you cannot longer visit those countries. I have a both are UK and US passport and most countries outside of the EU you still need a Visa e.g. Turkey Africa Asia.

Now am in Australia and my plan to go next to Japan went pfft due to Covid.
Been watching a lot of your videos lately and it is captivating, but I have to say, from my perspective after seeing this particular video, you made your world and your travel opportunities a lot smaller for a tax break (to put it short.) Not for me personally.
You don’t need to live in America in order to keep your passport, so your excuse that you have it up because you don’t like the rules imposed on you makes no sense. Why don’t you just be honest and tell people the real reason you gave up one of the most valuable passports in the world in favor of a mediocre Caribbean one.
Great vid. I’m heavily invested in real estate in US. If Trump doesn’t get re-elected, I’ll likely see what options are out there. Likely Caribbean. Best option to liquidate US real estate and invest elsewhere? Appreciate any input. Second chapter of your book. Enjoying it 🤙

Under current law... YES, you're still entitled to benefits. The only thing is, at some point, there's going to have to be an overhaul of the laws and policies concerning social security (since the system is going to be totally broke in a few years); and it wouldn't shock me if they were to change the law to eliminate benefits for those (former) Americans who've renounced their citizenship.
But you never have to wait in line to get a visa! You can just use a visa agency which would charge you, say, EUR 40 on top of the regular price of a visa. Beats waiting in line for me. But I decided to get my Chinese visa from the consulate in 2012, when it was still possible. Now, it is not - you have to use an agency.
There are a lot of passports that are better than usa passports. And these are not even from western countries. Asian passports allows you to travel to more countries and most of them does not require visa to enter.

Love the honesty. I mean, why would you care about a country you have no interest in ever visiting? We have to be practical, most people will never visit close to even 100 countries in their entire lifetime - let alone - 50. Most don‘t even leave their own country.
True.
Most don't leave their own state!
@Vlad Xavier why? I have never understood why travel has become some sort of mythic quasi religious milestone.
@Vlad Xavier - couldn’t agree more 👍
@@carlosdgutierrez6570 It's because increasingly people cannot own homes and land nor do they have children. Therefore they delude themselves into thinking they are sophisticated by living in small apartments in crowded cities and "class signaling" ( the more accurate term for " virtue signaling) to delude themselves. There is no wisdom or maturity in globe trotting merely status seeking. It is indeed sad and poor compensation for the lack of a real future.
Embassy? Interview? Passport? 😂🤣Just walk across the Mexico border and the U.S. will give you citizenship...duh😆
I'm Canadian just got my permament resident in Mexico yesterday. Love it hear in Mexico City and Acapulco!
I keep seeing videos all over the internet it's the most dangerous place on the planet (Both of those cities). Do you feel safe there?
Tino I'm currently here in CDMX. Been here on and off since Summer of 2018. Doing research on getting a residency here, since I'm happy planting a root here. How did you find the process? Easy? Tough?
Congrats! I'm actually in acapulco now! It's becoming much safer than in 2018 but that was not too long ago. Was it easy to get Mexican perm residency?

If you have the means to do Citizenship by Investment you can also just hire a Visa Agency who will fill forms and stand in line for you to get a CUNA visa.
@Steve Meier that’s smart:)
Canada no longer allows residency by property investment. You can if you start a business though. Except Quebec allows it if you spend $1.2 Million. I think Australia requires $750k investment for residency.

Thank you for another great video, Andrew. Your personality shines just a little brighter here :-) love that. Having had to apply for a visa to the US in the past, dear oh dear, not exactly a jolly experience, not a rule however. I wonder how they treat Americans such as yourself who gave up US citizenship and ask for a visa with a passport from another country?
Cavity searches.

Brazilian + Italian passports, a very versatile combination.
both are very caothic countries though
@@emanuelriquelmemontoya3819 True, but I don't need to live in either country. I was born in Brazil and acquired Italian citizenship by descent. Total cost was around 5k euros in papers and bureocracy, and now I can go pretty much anywhere in the world without a visa.
But have beautiful women !

@@tigervalley62 brazil has very socialist politicians and socialist countries like Argentina and South Africa are very quick to impose new taxes really quickly and Argentinean friend told me that the new socialist president in less then 1 year add another 14 taxes including a wealth tax and south Africa they added a citizenship based taxation really quickly so if socialism wins in brazil maybe people won't have enough time to scape and italy has one of biggest economic crysis in europe and the eu economic zone favours high taxes and regulations instead of austerity from the politicians so it can be a problem

"Countries I Can No Longer Visit" - sure you can, get a visa :)
As a Dominican with only USA VISA (but interested in visiting Europe, Canada, NZ and Australia), I find the USA VISA the most charitable one once you get it. Fill out a long annoying and invasive form, pay $160 USD fee, do your "interview" at the the US embassy (of which they have one everywhere), if you're approved you generally get a multiple entry for 10 years and you get your passport back in less than a month. When I research the fees and processes for the Schengen, UK or NZ VISA, I immediately get a headache. For comparison, to apply for a 10 year multiple entry VISA to the UK, you have pay over 800 pounds. For NZ I'd have to mail my passport to Washington DC. So unfriendly.
I'm from the Dominican Republic as well and I experienced the same frustration as you, despite acquiring a US, or Canadian tourist visa is pretty annoying with sizeable fees at least they usually will grant you a 10-year tourist visa but if you wanna go to anywhere in the European union we no only have to get a visa but the visa cannot even last longer than 3 months which means you have to pay the fees and do all the paperwork every time you wanna travel there, as far as I know, they have a process in which if you travel there often you can a apply for a visa that can last from 1 year to 5 but is still a headache.
"no longer visit without applying for a tourist visa
My great aunt gave up her US citizenship when she was living in Lithuania during Germany occupation, It took 15 years to get it back.
Why did she give it up?
Self preservation, with 3 kids and wife of a political activist she had few options
Not gonna lie, I watch the intro a few times before continuing with the rest of the video, it's too good. Great info as always Andrew!
The best thing is to have a rich country passport for the rich or economically stable countries and a poor country passport for visiting the poor countries for your own safety
LOL! "Rich country passport"? If a country is "rich", make sure your FIRST question is how they got that way! LOL!
@@Reality_TV And then ask about income tax and capital gains taxes. Rich countries demand a lot.

I'd renounce Citizenship in a heart beat if I could find anywhere else better to go. America is in the process of collapse, but unfortunately, no where else in the world offers the freedoms and opportunity that America has forsaken.

Marcus the US offers the best economic opportunities, yes!. Everything else about the US is subjective.

Like the way A.H. astutely and seamlessly weaves his way through a discussion of far-flung countries as relates to their passport/visa regulations. There's probably no one more dedicated to the world citizen way of life than Mr. Goody Two Shoes.

Seems like the best passport in the world is Canada. You can enter anywhere you want. Also pay no taxes if you become a non resident.
Not anymore. Trudope is ruining the country and they may impose a citizenship based taxation system. I still can't travel there because I refuse to get the jab for which there are NO long term safety or effectiveness studies due to the fact that it's such a new thing, never done before. I refuse to be a guinea pig.
Well... What you said is true, to an extent... The whole world can be your oyster, if you have the right Passports Portfolio. Back in US after two years, specifically NYC which for all intent and purposes is the only city that matters, it just reiterate my intention to leave, close the door behind me and throw away the key. If I must come back for businesses I'll make it happen with the aforementioned option or just send an executive on my behalf. I've always agreed with *go where you are treated best* and that does not longer includes U.S.A. for a plethora of reasons. On a uplifting note I really like your suit, haircut and new set Andrew 😘👌🏽!
Thanks a lot for the great point and compliment😎👏
If NYC was the only place to live in the US the whole country would be empty. NYC is one of the only cities that doesn't matter.
Hi can u suggest me which country is suitable to migrate along with my family.i am from India.
The US passport is super overrated

...anyone can get into the USA by walking across the border...and be treated better than a citizen...
"feel more at peace" is the right words. With the "most powerful" passport in the world, it's really tiring to keep from being punished for not fulfilling orders that are mandatory. I am thinking how to get out of this. I don't have millions to buy or invest. I don't see myself working as a foreigner in a country for 5 or 8 years for a new citizenship.
try having an Indian passport.
@@expertonion lol nobody wants one of those
Even with a US passport I had to go to the embassy to get a visa for India. It was a minor inconvenience. Thankfully there was one in the city I lived in. I think I even walked there on my lunch break. Came back late from lunch, but otherwise not a big deal.
They do have an eVisa
I was there for years ago and got mine online.
I know this post is over 1 year. However, did you get the 10 year Visa to India?
I know India and China offer 10 year Visas to US Passport holders. Not expensive at all.
The only reason I would ever give up my US citizenship is to escape global taxation, but I don't even make enough money yet for that to be an issue.
Some day though, if the FEIE is erased or something else like that happens, I will take one last long road trip around the country, see the grand canyon, do some hikes in Alaska, and then renounce once and for all.
There are still some benefits I could think of by being in America - like access to many different careers that in other countries (incl. Canada and EU) would be paying much less and you'd just have less opportunities. (I originally posted it as a reply to someone else, but I think it could also fit here)
Having a Green Card is actually a superior status to being an American citizen, if you can get it. I'm a non-US person and if I ever get a reason to live permanently in the States this is as far as I'd go, but I would not go all the way and naturalize.
A Green Card grants you with all rights and privileges an American would have except for voting, running for office and some government jobs that require a clearance. With the Green Card, it's a much easier process to sever your ties to America - along with the global taxation that comes with it.
I have a British passport by birth which cannot be denounced, an Australian passport from 1998, 3 year residency visa in Vietnam and 5 year business visa for China. I do well on the two passports over the years and pay no tax as I own the parent company in The Cayman Islands, I don't get chased for tax anywhere, never have. I will be in Chennai India for the next 3 years come March, final ESCAPE from socialist Mexico, so maybe I will apply for residency in India and maybe retire there. I guess I am an 'earth citizen', aren't we all?
You can renounce your British citizenship & passport. The taxes one pays in the UK is so high, I don’t see why people want UK passport.
I find British, Polish, South African and New Zealand work well for me. I abandoned my Green Card, it was my worst move and took me 9 years to get. Only stayed 3 years before I decided to pack up and leave.
The countries I care most about being in are Slovenia, Japan and Scotland. Then Spain, South Africa, Bulgaria and New Zealand.
Scotland is a trans woke nightmare.

So refreshing to have someone actually giving their opinion without a vanilla covering on everything. Thank you.
Of course if you apply for a visa you can probably visit what, all of those countries, with a possible exception for the US depending on which consulate officer is reviewing it?
You are lucky not to have US citizenship.
It's too bad this doesn't apply at the current moment with all of the border closures. How do we know the visa policies will be the same post-corona?
Many countries absolutely depend on tourism and outside business investment as part of their GDP. Most will open up as soon as possible mostly with the same agreements, with medical testing and possibly quarantine. Some never closed, like Korea. American currently in Taiwan.
In Serbia you can renounce your citizenship but the country will never renounce you. You can come back any time and pick up where you left off. The fact of having a birth certificate trumps everything else.
Many people renounced their citizenship since it was a requirement by their adopted new country. But they enjoyed having their birth country still honoring their rights as citizen.
I don't think I'm anywhere near ready to give up my US citizenship. Just looking to add a few plan B's, C's, D's, etc. for living purposes if it came to that. For now, I can deal with the tax complexities.
I am looking at Poland because you can add a lot of Eastern countries that either are Visa Free or evisa which is much easier.

To not be able to visit your home country without a visa is a big "freedom" or "peace of mind issue" for many who will have emotional ties, friends and family there. What if a family member is taken sick and you need to rush back? Or funerals etc, or just spontaneity? Getting a visa and entry to the USA is NOT a straightforward, pleasant and guaranteed process at all, even for me on ESTA as a European on a tier A passport I get grilled and barked at when visiting there.
For me any complete passport portfolio for ex citizens must include visa free access to their home country. It's probably the very one country everyone would like to visit without strings - where they are originally from and where their roots are.
Well said. I’m Indian origin in possession of an Australian passport . I’ve applied for the Overseas Indian Citizen program for the same reasons you’ve mentioned. The only thing you need to know now is that I’m in India with family during the COVID situation.

Rather enter India on a tourist Visa than through OCI...you are still standing in a queue anyway! Its not like am gonna stay there longer than 120 days ever...or think of investing or voting...or keep up with the moody RBI or crazed everchanging tax laws.
Don't get me wrong, I enjoy the food, the palaces and color!
But as an Indian, I no longer wish the OCI on the non resident Indian. I think its just a tax data collecting tool, and offers little else. Sorry.
@@wealthcreation6829 residency in India is based on the physical presence test, not citizenship. You need to be more than 4 months in India to be deemed resident. The type of passport or visa you hold doesn't matter to the income tax office. An Indian tourist visa is notoriously difficult to obtain. You also cannot re-enter India or reapply for a tourist visa for some time atleast once you have visited on a tourist visa. This is why most foreigners try to obtain an OCI foreigners card.
I believe in strong passports... especially for your children's sake. I like Portugal,Spain, UK, France, and Canada for their perks... the USA passports only real benefit is its a little harder for you to get hit with a drone strike when you have one.
One of the secret advantages of having a US passport is that you can change your identity at any time anywhere in the world and have multiple identities and carry multiple passports, as long as US is your home nation. No other nation has those kinds of perks, except the UK.
Can you do a video about entrepreneurs that are dual Canadian and US citizens? There are roughly 1 million of us living in Canada.

The biggest issue is that many routes go through the US or the cost of traveling goes down significally if you go through the US. So let say from Japan to Mexico, it will be around 2k usd, while if you go through LA it will go down to 1.5k usd. Same if you go through Toronto or Chicago down to 1.3k. So is not just a matter of avoiding going to the US but also passing by.
Many people save seven figures in taxes by not being a US citizen...orders of magnitude more than the cost of flights.
@@jordanwentzell5220 that's neither here nor there. The point is that there is more than just not being able to enter certain countries but even when you don't want to enter you can still be affected.
@@Jzarecta Sure. Also remember transiting through the US means dealing with the TSA, lack of sterile transit and other inconveniences. As a Canadian citizen I could transit through the US visa free, but I refuse to for these reasons.

Great info as usual Andrew. Side note: I am inspired to paint my home office those colors!
I like it!! Feel in peace is what it's all about.
So given the criteria of where you can't go and where the US passport would have gotten you, I have concluded that in addition to Comoros & St Lucia, that only Serbia would give you Kazakhstan & Mongolia without Paraguay & as an added bonus Vietnam. After that examining who is in & who is out for Paraguay, Mexico, Thailand & South Africa eliminated South & Central American countries from contention. I don't know if Thailand gives some special treatment to the MM2H visa holders, but assuming that it does not that leads me to believe citizenship by exception & a Georgian passport is on the list, & finally either Antigua & Barbuda or possibly though highly unlikely Saint Vincent being on the list. Alternatively if there were some exception to the rule against dual citizenship, I would say a Maldives passport gave you South Africa & Thailand with Serbia filling out what was lacking from Saint Lucia & Comoros, but it would have also given you Brunei. I can't be too far off can I? There is also the highly unlikely possibility of South African citizenship.
Actually, the US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand are to be avoided! The moment you land in these countries, you are immediately treated as a potential criminal on a "guilty, until proven innocent" basis. I much rather travel to more welcoming tourist destinations that don't require a visa for most Westerners and let you through without much bureaucracy!
Awesome video as always. Andrew could you do a video about specific countries offering paper residency? Thanks...
For me, the benefits of US citizenship outweigh the costs. HOWEVER, I'm not at all convinced that it'll always be that way. Change is coming to the US; and it won't necessarily be good.

@Independent Thinker The CCP is the world's most dangerous regime! No ifs, ands or buts. They are slowly but surely (and covertly) trying to take over Canada (and Australia, if I'm not mistaken). The current Canadian government is a slave and worhipper of the CCP!
@Independent Thinker While the fall of the USA will affect every country on the planet, only the Western nations will suffer more, whereas, China and Asia will be the least affected. As Andrew mentioned in a previous video, we are beginning to witness a redistribution of wealth, in this case, from the west to the east. When Rome fell, it affected the other countries, but the world eventually adapted and moved on. The same happened with the Babylonian Empire and the British Empire, and for us, it will be no different.

I am a US citizen by birth. Other then Europe or certain Latin America, I have had to get visas for where I want to travel. Interestingly, you need a visa for India and Vietnam....two countries I go often. My wife is Vietnamese, and my ancestry in Indian. I get treated wore as an American when I arrive in Mumbai Airport, then a European or Latin American.
I even threatened to walk over to the airline counter and immediately return home (and spend my US dollars elsewhere)...in India. I even threatened to tear up my India visa in front of the immigration officer. I was being harassed, and they were harassing my wife....me for being American, my wife because her US passport listed birthplace as Vietnam. After my 'bucking up' at 2:00 AM, they stamped the passport and let me through.

I've gone to Venezuela on a non-US passport. Would have needed a visa with US passport that is damn near impossible to get due to all the troubles with the country.
Sorry if this question has been asked, but if I renounce my US citizenship do I get to keep my Social Security benefits?
Under current law... YES, you're still entitled to benefits. The only thing is, at some point, there's going to have to be an overhaul of the laws and policies concerning social security (since the system is going to be totally broke in a few years); and it wouldn't shock me if they were to change the law to eliminate benefits for those (former) Americans who've renounced their citizenship.

Yes

keep paying your medicare.

But you never have to wait in line to get a visa! You can just use a visa agency which would charge you, say, EUR 40 on top of the regular price of a visa. Beats waiting in line for me. But I decided to get my Chinese visa from the consulate in 2012, when it was still possible. Now, it is not - you have to use an agency.
you're not missing much with regards to not being able to travel to Canada.
You still need visas as an American. I have had to get them for India, China, Viet Nam, and Brazil
There are a lot of passports that are better than usa passports. And these are not even from western countries. Asian passports allows you to travel to more countries and most of them does not require visa to enter.
