@@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.
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.

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?
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..
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.
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.
@@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
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.
Andrew I’ve been enjoying your blog over the years and your channel now as well. I’d love to have you on the World King show in the future! We will talk soon! Keep it up
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 😘👌🏽!
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.
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.
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.
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 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
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?
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?
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.
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.
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.
US and UK citizens are required to get Iranian visas. US and UK citizens who arrive in Iran must get guides with them all times while travelling around. Irish citizens and EU citizens get less visa restrictions and no guides need.
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.
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.

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.
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.
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.
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
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?
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.
"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.

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!! 👍🏼🙍🏻♂️👍🏼
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.
I have been fortunate enough to visit many countries with NO passport. US Navy for 20 years. Germany, Hong Kong, China, Singapore, Australia, Mexico, Philippines, Japan, Korea, Thailand, Bahrain, UAE, Iraq, Kuwait and Greece. I lived in the Philippines for 3+ years and Greece for a year.
Tino, I was there, not like you think. Things are expensive and not safe. I lived in century village deerfieldbeach florida, having a blast and cheaper than Costa Rica.

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.
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.

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.
this is a great topic, no doubt.👍 but re: certain of the countries you mentioned: it's misleading to say you can't visit certain nations - until the very end - when you say you CAN, actually, visit certain of these nations, after all...with a visa. so, it would be fare less out of order to be CLEAR re: ones you can visit with a visa vs. those you, *literally,* are completely-full-stop-forbidden to visit, *at all.* 😐
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.

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.

Over a year ago I had seen a video by a world traveler. He did not have a passport book. He had a card which looked to be the size of a credit card. When he came into airports he showed the card which said citizen of the world and he was admitted entrance to each country. Do these exist today and how good are they?
@@shirleylake7738 I would say it’s convenient because you can put it in your wallet and therefore it’s less likely to be lost or stolen than a passport? It’s the size of a credit card. they are available here in Finland. US also... I do not think it’s a citizen of the world they are issued from your country of residence so will be similar to your own passport.
I am curious. You leave a certain country, let's call it country A, for example, with one passport, and depending on where you are going, of course, you present a different passport to get in that country, let's call it country B. When you leave B to go back to A which passport do you use? Don't they look for that stamp from where you have been?
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.
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...
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.

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.
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
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.

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
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.

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.
So it's not that you can no longer go there but you choose to or don't want to apply for a visa.
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 am a Brit and Aussie. I can’t travel to either at present due to current mind virus

"no longer visit without applying for a tourist visa
I was wondering when this video would come. Honestly you can still travel most of the world.
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.
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.
I'm a young 23 year old Mexican American currently living in NC.

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.
@@andrewgates9333 LOL
'the employee just wants to put the stamp on the visa and go to lunch" 😆
Loool!!! Ikr
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?
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.
I hope the situation is better now. Family, opportunities and friends await.
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.
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.
US and UK citizens are required to get Iranian visas. US and UK citizens who arrive in Iran must get guides with them all times while travelling around. Irish citizens and EU citizens get less visa restrictions and no guides need.

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 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.

You don't need a visa to go through the USA. They accompanied you to the transfer area to make sure
you don't sneak out.
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.
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.
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.

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.
"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.

The CUNA countries ..... you sure got the abbreviation down to T. I will start using it😀
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.
I have been fortunate enough to visit many countries with NO passport. US Navy for 20 years. Germany, Hong Kong, China, Singapore, Australia, Mexico, Philippines, Japan, Korea, Thailand, Bahrain, UAE, Iraq, Kuwait and Greece. I lived in the Philippines for 3+ years and Greece for a year.
I've heard Costa Rica is nice. I heard if you have your retirement check automatically deposited at a bank there they let you live there no problem.
Tino, I was there, not like you think. Things are expensive and not safe. I lived in century village deerfieldbeach florida, having a blast and cheaper than Costa Rica. I bought my condo cash $50k, monthly living expenses $600including taxes,Hoa and utilities with free transport, clubhouse,life security guards , 3 mile x 3 mile walking, cycling track, beautiful landscape, safe and many more etc...
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.
This video resonates with me so much. Time to leave Australia again.
Honestly thought that list would be shorter.
And didn't expect places like Canada and Australia to appear ... But visas are pretty easy so.... Meh
As a Canadian resident, not being able to travel here is not big deal. The place is expensive and way over-rated.

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.
this is a great topic, no doubt.👍 but re: certain of the countries you mentioned: it's misleading to say you can't visit certain nations - until the very end - when you say you CAN, actually, visit certain of these nations, after all...with a visa. so, it would be fare less out of order to be CLEAR re: ones you can visit with a visa vs. those you, *literally,* are completely-full-stop-forbidden to visit, *at all.* 😐
Not sure if it has been discussed in one of your earlier videos, but regarding passports one also has to consider children
US passport means paying the highest landing fees when you travel too.
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.

@@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.

When he came into airports he showed the card which said citizen of the world and he was admitted entrance to each country. Do these exist today and how good are they?
Yes it’s a passport card and it’s equivalent to a pass port you can get them in the US and some European countries.
@@anneofgreengables1619 Thank you. Do you happen to know of any advantages or disadvantages of the card?

I am curious. You leave a certain country, let's call it country A, for example, with one passport, and depending on where you are going, of course, you present a different passport to get in that country, let's call it country B. When you leave B to go back to A which passport do you use? Don't they look for that stamp from where you have been?
