Malaysia just said that since they raised the requirements for MyHome, a 95% drop in applications. They are reviewing and will bring the requirements back down to the pre 2020 level.
My old man is Malaysian. I lived there for a bit and visit regularly. Lots of issues - they want to be considered a first world country and have a shiny capital city but the rest of it is lagging a bit. The race mentality/religion is their handbrake. If they could get over that they would be far advanced down the road by now....
I was thinking this too, and am surprised Andrew considers them redundant. I have UK and US right now, but am also eligible for Irish through ancestry. Am definitely considering pursuing, in order to open up the EU.
I am a 1st gen japanese american. As you may know, Japan prohibits dual citizenship beyond the age of 21. Aside from my desire to go back to the country of my heritage and perhaps buy a home in an affordable 1st world country, the japanese passport is reputed to be the best passport in the world for visa free travel. I would love to see a video about the pros and cons of japanese citizenship. Are there any workarounds for to renew japanese citizenship as a former dual passport holder? What advantages does permanent citizenship confer? Is japanese citizenship a hedge against inflation or a major war?
For me the killer combo in terms of passports is Switzerland (as my main passport), Grenada (for access to countries like China, Russia, etc.) and Canada (for US business). Also Canada plus Switzerland means I got two very strong passports just in case one of them drops the allowance for dual citizenship. Plus two or three PRs (e.g. Thailand, Malaysia).
Question: what might happen if I leave Canada, bring my business offshore and stay as a resident of a Low tax country for 10 years. Then I move back to Canada and give up my overseas residency. I happen to have $20M in Banks overseas. Can I bring my money back to Canada without tax?
If you _supposedly_ have $20 million in overseas banks, then why would you bother making a comment on this video, instead of contacting him directly at his business? Unless that’s $20 million in *monopoly* money.
I'm a citizen of Canada, Ireland, Chile and Jordan at birth. I hold a 10-year residence permit in the UAE. I'm considering a fifth citizenship, which one do you recommend, please?
@@HadithOfThaqlain It's not that difficult, actually. It can be a combination of ius soli and ius sanguinis: born in a ius soli country (c1), parents of two different ius sanguinis countries (c2 and c3) and grandparents of also different ius sanguinis countries that acknowledge citizenship by descent from previous generations (c4, c5...). All are considered as citizenships at birth. In fact, just today, coincidentally, I was talking to a person whose daughter has 3 citizenships at birth and was applying for the fourth one.
Wait, can someone say more about Albania? You can have residency there for 5 years without actually spending much time there and still get citizenship?
Ranked 44 (Passport Index) and 52 (Henley). No access to EU (except Ireland), USA, UK, Australia, New Zealand or China. Visa free access to some African countries and Russia.
@@manuelquiroga7994 Thank you for the information. It's evident that I need another passport. I have had mine since February 2020. I had planned a trip to Thailand that same year, however the pandemic happened and the rest is history. My country has been on a downward trajectory for quite some time now and I would never want to leave. However, having an option for if things got really out of hand.
@@AyandaKula Yup, with no visa free access to the above countries, your passport is tier C (maybe C+ if you count Ireland). Try to get at least a tier B passport (Schengen access). I've got an EU (tier A) passport and a South American tier B+ one (visa free access to Schengen area - not that I need it anymore -, UK, Russia and most South American countries). Also, citizens of APEC countries are eligible to apply for the APEC Business Travel Card, which gives you free access (through the diplomatic line at the airport) to 19 countries, including Australia, New Zealand and China.
Even if your second or third passport is second tier in terms of travelling , once uou slap on it a visa from a tier one legacy country, your passport becomes much stronger. 😁
Every day there are new people considering options for a new life. I'm quite sure Andrew isn't expecting people to watch every single video over a multi year span.
@@Murmilone not really this is a second opinion. War in the region is likely and it’s best to be with the neutral countries to avoid fallout on your passport. Georgia is cool with everyone in the region
1. Tier 1
2. Anything you qualify for by descent
3. Country that's different
4. Country that will be left alone during a global crisis
Only descent i qualify for doesn't alow dual citizenship :(
Also, consider which country citizenships are automatically passed onto children without living there.

Ireland passport is now better than UK. Irish can move both to europe and UK.
True
Canada Ireland and New Zealand are all 2 in 1s.
I was thinking this too, and am surprised Andrew considers them redundant. I have UK and US right now, but am also eligible for Irish through ancestry. Am definitely considering pursuing, in order to open up the EU.
Nice. That's what I got
If you have Netherlands passport you have 6 Caribbean island 😊!!!
Andrew: How Many Citizenships Do You Need?
Also Andrew: Yes.
I think the TLDR is simple. If you have a western passport, aim for an eastern one and vice versa. Don't make it complicated.
Eastern as in eastern european or asian?
Mr Henderson, can you talk about Ghana granting citizenship to African diasporans?

1 for every region by common sense

Would love an update on the Armenian CBI and residency to citizenship. I think it's an interesting country that would supplement a Western passport.
You need at least 3. Canada, Ireland and Brazil. And if 4th New Zealand. My 5th choice would be Tajikistan. And residency permit in Mexico and UAE.
Tajikistan?! What's the process for that?

with that kind money , why would want to move back ?

Which citizenships require the least amount of physical presence?
I'm a citizen of Canada, Ireland, Chile and Jordan at birth. I hold a 10-year residence permit in the UAE. I'm considering a fifth citizenship, which one do you recommend, please?
Brazil or New Zealand.
How are you a citizen of 4 countries at birth?

@@manuelquiroga7994 silver spoon in your mouth
Grenada or Dominica
Thank you so much Andrew!
@andrew What are your thoughts about pursuing mexican citizenship as a U.S. citizen? Do the pros outweigh the cons? Is it sufficiently diversified?
I qualify for Canadian and German passports. Should I even bother getting the Canadian? Currently a US citizen
Get both
I am definitely planning to obtain "Multiple Citizenships"
Wait, can someone say more about Albania? You can have residency there for 5 years without actually spending much time there and still get citizenship?
Only one if you live in canada if you want a other citizenship ho to that country and give up Canada for good one or the other.
How good is a South African passport?
@Itsme Alex Please elaborate, what issues have you experienced while using it?
Ranked 44 (Passport Index) and 52 (Henley). No access to EU (except Ireland), USA, UK, Australia, New Zealand or China. Visa free access to some African countries and Russia.

What about the age differences?
I have 8
Which countries?
One is None, Two is One, Three is the new TWO
I hope this is as good as your other 36 recent videos about the same topic

Georgia would be better over Armenia or Turkey because it’s a neutral country you can go to Armenia and Turkey or Azerbaijan if you wanted
You are right but it's much harder to get Georgian citizenship compared to Armenian.
@@Murmilone not really this is a second opinion. War in the region is likely and it’s best to be with the neutral countries to avoid fallout on your passport. Georgia is cool with everyone in the region
Armenia is still pretty good tbh.
Why it isn't enough ? ... Mmm ... Cos you LL be out of work then?
What if i have 3 western passports by birth. Cz de us
Third!
Irela--Oh North Nigeria!
Armenia has the risk of military conscription
Not for the diaspora.
