When I became a US citizen, I was told that I was no longer a citizen of my birth country. I found this to not be true as the US does not communicate your status to that country. The Portuguese consulate in Boston and were able to confirm my citizenship and issue me a citizen card without any problem. My wife and I will be moving to Portugal in the next few months.
Basically, every country decides who its citizens are by their own rules. When you became a US citizen, your oath included language renouncing your other citizenships, but that has no effect if your former country or countries don't recognize that as grounds for losing your citizenship. For example, Canadians who become American citizens do not lose their Canadian citizenship because Canada requires its citizens to formally renounce their citizenship in person in front of consular officials.
@@notthatyouasked6656 At the time, the US did not recognize dual citizenship. They informed me at my swearing in that I was no longer a citizen of my country of birth. I just wanted to let your viewers know that just because this is stated when you become a citizen, not to accept it as truth.
You have a gift to explain things ....i had rest, listening to this 10 min ...you do great videos, nothing stays unclear ....this like ? 5th video from your channel i cliked in two days ....glad i found your channel
I very much appreciate your grounded approach. It throws into stark contrast the advertorial videos of other would-be vendors or providers. As I am just starting out the route for me would seem to be residence for the time being, so your book and videos have made me aware of so many options. And perhaps I might make it to the live event next year, that's if we're even allowed out of the country by then.
At 70 years I don’t feel as though I have 5 or more years to get a second citizenship. This year I’m going to pay just over 200.000. In income tax and I’ve already paid almost 100.000 in property tax. I’m not sure what to expect from the new administration ,taxes could increase considerably. If there is a fast track I’m looking for it.
You didn’t mention about Jamaican citizenship by marriage. It’s pretty instant too. You apply at consulate and wait for up to 24 months but it usually takes 3-9 months.
Interesting. I bet it wouldn't be too difficult finding someone willing to "get married" for a fee of $25K or so. (Citizenship by marriage in Cape Verde would be another option, but most people there speak only Portuguese).
If you're looking for illegal ways to get your citizenship I think it's possible to find someone in any country if you have enough money to do so. However you can lose it even after getting it. Not even mentioning criminal charges, fines, deportation and problems with travelling in the future.
@@samvohra6992 I remember when I was living in NYC for a summer, a girl I worked with from a South American country paid $3000 for an American Citizen to marry her. She lived with him and had a South American boyfriend doing the same thing. That was in 2014, with inflation it's probably gone up 😅
recently really been binging your channel and i just found out im actually eligible for a second passport thru my grandfather.

It also wont really help me in any way but it doesnt hurt either and i firmly believe in claiming any and all passports i can

Instant application for citizenship is possible in Luxembourg upon marriage to a Luxembourg citizen. This is if you and your Luxembourg spouse are legally resident in Luxembourg (no time requirement; you only need to be legally resident at the time of application). Otherwise, you can get it after 3 years of marriage to a Luxembourger without any residency requirements and without having to be legally resident in Luxembourg at the time of application. In both cases, however, you also need to first pass a Luxembourgish language test (understanding at B1 level, speaking at A2 level) and attend citizenship classes. The citizenship granted is by "option" and not by "naturalization". This means that waiting time after applying is 4 months (instead of 8 by naturalization).

I beg to differ a little, as far as Italy is concerned. In the case of “oriundi” (people who are italian descendants down to the 4th generation, i.e. their grandfather was an italian citizen), one can claim the “citadinanza” by running the process locally (i.e. somewhere in Italy, through an immigration agency; a costlier and more painstaking experience, as the applicant needs to travel to Italy and stay there in a designated domicile for as long as 90 days; sometimes 60 days is enough...depends on how fast the “vigile” will show up to make his notes and how good is the agent on dealing with the “comune” officials). It is not about claiming a right to a citizenship, it is about getting the citizenship recognized by the Italian Republic, for all italians are entitled to it by origin, regardless if they are born in Italy or not. Of course if one files it via the local consulate, it will take years. Many years.
My grandfather was born in Italy and came to the US as a child. He had 2 kids, then naturalized, then had my mother. This means my older cousins and their descendants are all Italian citizens, but my siblings and I are not, because my grandfather lost his Italian citizenship by naturalizing before my mother was born.
@@notthatyouasked6656, really? Interesting. In the case of my wife (italian / brazilian), she was born in southern Brazil. All great-grandpas and great-grandmas were italians from the Tuscany region. First we gathered the docs they had, then we researched the ships journey logs till finding her great-grandfather’s name. We sent the whole package to the agent. They filed it into the most suitable and expeditious “comune”, then - after a few weeks - scheduled the period she should position herself somewhere in Liguria as a temporary resident, in one of their designated apartments.

Hi! My parents came to the US from Cuba and are thus technically dual citizens (not that that is any help when they've gone to visit relatives, they're seen as second class Citizens by the state and their rights are restricted (more than the average Cuban) they can't own property in Cuba for example, unless they pay fees and do paperwork to reinstate their full Citizenship and have to jump through hoops not to lose full status again. It's not really worth it, who would want to go live in a totalitarian communist country anyways?). I have Spanish ancestry. Spain was previously offering Spanish citizenship to all those who wanted it that could prove they had a Spanish Grandparent. Spain is also a country that nominally requires you to renounce previous citizenships. There's talk of Spain reopening that citizenship program (delayed by Covid which was seen as a priority), and I'm interested in maybe acquiring Spanish Citizenship this way, but I don't wish to lose my American citizenship, I live here and don't plan on moving any time soon. It's also infamously hard to lose American citizenship. So I'm wondering If you know if I can gain Spanish Citizenship without losing American citizenship, assuming the program is reopened after covid.
I see most countries require no criminal record... What if the criminal record was (for example) DUI from 30+ years ago as a teenager, with nothing since? Any countries take into account that we sometimes do stupid shit as kids, then grow out of it?

Andrew, I'm not born yet and I'm still trying to decide what country I want to be born in. It used to be the decision was easy: Murica baby, the land of the free! But America's future is questionable now until they flush CCP influence out of their government and media institutions. Alternatively, Norway and New Zealand are good choices, IMO. Many Arab & Muslim countries would be good choices because they're insanely wealthy, but they're all religious fanatics living under strict religious laws -- no thanks! But the decision isn't as simple as what country to be born in. I also want to choose the right parents. Of course, I'm limited to families where the woman is pregnant or is likely to become pregnant soon. Given that, I want to choose wealthy parents, but (and you're not gonna like hearing this) too many wealthy people are ass-hats -- they're control freaks, or have silly ideas like everybody in the family has to get up at some crazy cow-milking hour for some moral code or other. So it's not an easy decision.
i think countries are concerned about serious crimes. A dui, traffic ticket or a lone instance of disorderly conduct would not be something to prevent you from living overseas. the best way to look at it is to ask yourself would you want to live next to someone who did what you did. If the answer is no than it is a good chance that it would disqualify you.
Actually, there is a small capitalist country for digital nomads, online entrepreneurs, freelancers and crypto geeks that would be delighted to give you an instant citizenship. On top of that, there are no taxes, no bureaucracy and no strings attached... except other countries might not like that very much. It's called Libernesia and it's our country.
Hi Andrew. I like your chanel very much . My son is 17 and we live in Ukraine. He is going to enter University in Florida to study business. What kind of major you can advise. Your opinion is very valuable . Thank you.
I am a economics major from the University of Minnesota and came across your comment. Aim to study both finance and accounting. Ultimately, a finance major has the most utility. Even if while in 3rd or 4th year and he wants to go into accounting, it is required to have 150 credits to become a certified public accountant. 120 credits is needed for college. Sometimes students take the remaining 30 credits without being in a masters degree program (they are called non-degree seeking students). Finance and accounting can be more challenging than a marketing or a general business degree. Remember that there is nothing wrong with other business majors depending on the person. Also, please be aware that the intellectual investment and career rewards will differ among cities and as one major in one college reach different content than one major at another college. If one has any questions it would be ethical for someone at the University to give counsel regardless of student status.

Isnt it easier to become a citizen of a country that has a declining population. I would think countries such as Russia would be easier to get citizenship to because they have a declining population, huge amounts of space, and a serious lack of males. Personally I regret being born in the USA. Nothing worse then being born in a country where you truly hate the government, the people, and spend 90% of my time complaining about the USA. I lived outside the USA for over 7 years and still complain to everyone i meet how horrible the USA is. I even do that when I am in China or Vietnam. You would be surprised how many Chinese people in China i have told how I think China is heaven on Earth and how Xi Jinping and the Chinese Communist Party are a blessing to China. I would glady become a citizen of China if it means i get rid of this worthless US citizenship. For me the USA has been nothing but a prison.
believe me some will see USA as heaven and some not but the problem is within yourself...fix your mentality and you will see the world different because in your state of mind , you will never satisfy with any country if you stayed too long in it

@@DanTheQueasy-Fisherman I'm a 46 yr old white Male. Dark hair, blue eyes & 6ft2. From what I understand I look like many of the people there. My family is originally from Newfoundland in Canada. We are a very laid back friendly people. I'm sure I'll fit it. I do understand some cultures are not as accepting of others.
How far back does citizenship by decent go? My family immigrated to north america about 371 years ago. The wife is Native american so her family has been here longer.
Not that far.
can u get an instant 2nd citizenship? Depends how good you are at forging documents!
Andrew can you make a video on the possible benefits, but also how to obtain Vietnamese citizenship by marriage? According to one UA-camr you can obtained it around 4 to 8 months. Also mentioned Vietnam allows dual citizenship.
i would love to become a citizen of Vietnam, Then I could join the Vietnamese Communist Party and one day become President of Vietnam. Too bad China is not the eaasist country to get citizenship. I love China and would love to become a member of the Chinese Communist Party and move up to General Secretary
Then I can be a thorn in the side of the USA. veto everything the USA proposes, Always support Russia and Iran in everything they do, and conquer toe moon and mars.
I wonder if the real delay with this process is waiting for the clients to supply ALL of the required documentation? I expect there's A LOT of chasing clients to ensure the documentation is correctly packaged and sent to the respective governmental office.
Yes; most successful people don’t have time to fill out paperwork.
Israel’s Law of Return is pretty instant for Jews who move there. The application process before arriving takes a few months but you get the ID card at the airport as soon as you land.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING US 😇💫🌎
Add Burkina Faso to the list of instant citizenship by marriage

My husband's great grandmother was born in England. Is he a citizen of the the UK in this case?
Doubtful

I should say Britain as Ireland is in the UK and its much easier
Can anyone tell me about becoming a PR in Baja California, in particular Cabo San Lucas?
Gr8 video brother andrew.

Thats just silly
Hi!
My parents came to the US from Cuba and are thus technically dual citizens (not that that is any help when they've gone to visit relatives, they're seen as second class Citizens by the state and their rights are restricted (more than the average Cuban) they can't own property in Cuba for example, unless they pay fees and do paperwork to reinstate their full Citizenship and have to jump through hoops not to lose full status again. It's not really worth it, who would want to go live in a totalitarian communist country anyways?).
I have Spanish ancestry.
Spain was previously offering Spanish citizenship to all those who wanted it that could prove they had a Spanish Grandparent.
Spain is also a country that nominally requires you to renounce previous citizenships.
There's talk of Spain reopening that citizenship program (delayed by Covid which was seen as a priority), and I'm interested in maybe acquiring Spanish Citizenship this way, but I don't wish to lose my American citizenship, I live here and don't plan on moving any time soon.
It's also infamously hard to lose American citizenship.
So I'm wondering If you know if I can gain Spanish Citizenship without losing American citizenship, assuming the program is reopened after covid.
Maybe things will change in the coming years as history is fading and those who lived the leaders who led the Revolution are dead. All the best.
I see most countries require no criminal record...
What if the criminal record was (for example) DUI from 30+ years ago as a teenager, with nothing since?
Any countries take into account that we sometimes do stupid shit as kids, then grow out of it?
Many countries would take that into account.
Another phenomenal video
Once I'm ready, I'm reaching out to you for Portugal via providing 10 jobs. I'd rather get it done right the first time than waste time with all these sites pretending to know how to direct me.
Andrew, you frequently mention great grandparents in your talks. What countries consider great grandparent's citizenship as a route to citizenship? I can't find any.
Many European countries from Italy to Lithuania.
@@nomadcapitalist So not Germany or Canada?
What about Russia?
Does anyone know if Andrew has put out a list of info/documents that a person needs to have ready to start filling out the documents. That way one could have the info ready when it is needed. Thank you.
No, but we have these internal processes for our clientele.
@@nomadcapitalist thank you for replying
Is there anywhere I can go to get my government ID with a picture fast, costa rica is taking 2 years - I have the SS income, can do investment or whatever - covid is causing a year and more wait just to get the ID - Ideas? Thank you.....
I find UK actually ridiculous. I am married to UK citizen, our kids are UK citizens, and I can apply, but I won’t because it’s just way too complicated..
Which citizenship do you have currently?

This might be a stupid question, but what are the benefits of having a dual citizenship ?

Andrew, I'm not born yet and I'm still trying to decide what country I want to be born in. It used to be the decision was easy: Murica baby, the land of the free! But America's future is questionable now until they flush CCP influence out of their government and media institutions. Alternatively, Norway and New Zealand are good choices, IMO. Many Arab & Muslim countries would be good choices because they're insanely wealthy, but they're all religious fanatics living under strict religious laws -- no thanks!
But the decision isn't as simple as what country to be born in. I also want to choose the right parents. Of course, I'm limited to families where the woman is pregnant or is likely to become pregnant soon. Given that, I want to choose wealthy parents, but (and you're not gonna like hearing this) too many wealthy people are ass-hats -- they're control freaks, or have silly ideas like everybody in the family has to get up at some crazy cow-milking hour for some moral code or other. So it's not an easy decision.
😇 instant citizenship and nonextradiction countries. Just saying 😎
Lol. I can't lie. I think about that as well.
Brazil is a good option
What are these forms required that takes forever for people to receive 🤔
I found from many of your videos that between the video titles and the content delivered is a big gap... Actually a misleading gap!
Thank you. 🙏🏼
So an eu citizenship doesn’t mean you’re a citizen of those countries?
is a DUI an automatic deal breaker for CBI programs?
i think countries are concerned about serious crimes. A dui, traffic ticket or a lone instance of disorderly conduct would not be something to prevent you from living overseas. the best way to look at it is to ask yourself would you want to live next to someone who did what you did. If the answer is no than it is a good chance that it would disqualify you.
@@boyar1978 Thanks. It was over 10 years ago, just need to get it expunged.
So if I am a U.S and I have one of my parents that was born in Puerto Rico gain citizenship of Puerto Rico as far as the capital gains tax ?
you still pay to IRS even if you do not live in USA anymore. to prevent this, you have to denounce US citizenship
People in Puerto Rico have been US citizens since 1917.
Actually, there is a small capitalist country for digital nomads, online entrepreneurs, freelancers and crypto geeks that would be delighted to give you an instant citizenship. On top of that, there are no taxes, no bureaucracy and no strings attached... except other countries might not like that very much. It's called Libernesia and it's our country.
Good for you
I wouldn’t live in a country that would have someone like me as a citizen.
Hi Andrew.
I like your chanel very much . My son is 17 and we live in Ukraine. He is going to enter University in Florida to study business. What kind of major you can advise. Your opinion is very valuable . Thank you.
I am a economics major from the University of Minnesota and came across your comment. Aim to study both finance and accounting. Ultimately, a finance major has the most utility. Even if while in 3rd or 4th year and he wants to go into accounting, it is required to have 150 credits to become a certified public accountant. 120 credits is needed for college. Sometimes students take the remaining 30 credits without being in a masters degree program (they are called non-degree seeking students). Finance and accounting can be more challenging than a marketing or a general business degree. Remember that there is nothing wrong with other business majors depending on the person. Also, please be aware that the intellectual investment and career rewards will differ among cities and as one major in one college reach different content than one major at another college. If one has any questions it would be ethical for someone at the University to give counsel regardless of student status.
@@Alec2qint thank you for answer .

Can you make a video about Germany and German Citizenship ?
totally not instant unless one parent is german already. :D
by marriage: 3 years residence together and 2 years married.
if you wed the german early, you just have to sit out the 3 years residence. marriages by germans standards only.
as marriage means residence rights in germany, you have to wait those 3 years but it is almost safe you will end up with german citizenship.

Isnt it easier to become a citizen of a country that has a declining population. I would think countries such as Russia would be easier to get citizenship to because they have a declining population, huge amounts of space, and a serious lack of males. Personally I regret being born in the USA. Nothing worse then being born in a country where you truly hate the government, the people, and spend 90% of my time complaining about the USA. I lived outside the USA for over 7 years and still complain to everyone i meet how horrible the USA is. I even do that when I am in China or Vietnam. You would be surprised how many Chinese people in China i have told how I think China is heaven on Earth and how Xi Jinping and the Chinese Communist Party are a blessing to China. I would glady become a citizen of China if it means i get rid of this worthless US citizenship. For me the USA has been nothing but a prison.
believe me some will see USA as heaven and some not but the problem is within yourself...fix your mentality and you will see the world different because in your state of mind , you will never satisfy with any country if you stayed too long in it
Brazil you can get it by marriage or child adoption😃
