    You should also include factors like Mandatory Military Service and Personal Safety and Security (aka Low Crime Rate) in your passport rankings for the coming years.

I was a refuge in Moldova and France. You guys have no freaking idea what it is like to have a kid, a pregnant wife and the whole life left behind because of two dictators genociding your nation.

      I’m in the USA now. Working on Uber, paying my taxes. Rent is $2000 and for $5-10k you could buy a village house in Ukraine. They extend my permit to stay here every year but it’s not immigration, so you are still a guest. And you have to pay $1000 to extend your work permit. And you can’t leave the country to go to the cheaper dentist or they won’t let you back in. Food is shit and 5 times more expensive than at home. You guys have no idea what you are talking about.

That law automatically exempted those who had the citizenships automatically by descent (i.e. born with the citizenships), and those who naturalized as Australian citizens before 1900.
      Also, those who came to Australia as refugees at the end of WW2, had visa conditions on their Refugee visa which let them retain their citizenship, permitted them to naturalize after 10yrs as Australian (retaining their other citizenship), but prohibiting them from ALL welfare except the old age pension providing they worked and paid taxes. The last condition applied to all future generations unless one parent was an Australian citizen by descent or by "right of soil" (Australia was a "right of soil" country until 1993) providing they (or their parents) didn't enter Australia on a Refugee visa issued at the end of WW2.

    It really depends on who you are and your situation, like which places you're descended from. Even your ethnicity determines which countries are better for you. European countries are great for some people and not so much for others. You need a foothold in those places to really be prosperous. EU passports are great to have but how many are great places to actually live? Only some of them.

    I don't understand how Swiss and Finnish passports provide more freedom than lets say Luxembourg given that Switzerland and Finland do have military conscription. Also, from taxation, from the moment you leave the country, they will not tax you, and do not give a shit anymore about you. Also compared to neighbouring countries, the actual tax rate is lower. The biggest downside of a Luxembourgish passport is the limited network of consulates abroad in case you have an emergency, usually you'll end up in a Belgian or Dutch consulate.

      About the military conscription in switzerland, it's very easy to be medically discharged or you can simply pay a certain amount per year to not do the service. Also, it's a defensive army meant to act as a deterrent, and the probability of a conflict happening on swiss soil is almost non existant at the time.

      @matthewnirenberg 5 місяців тому

      Hate to break it to you but the world for the most part doesn't work like that anymore. Scam marriages (what you're describing) are hated by ALL countries as they don't want people thinking so little of their citizenship and country. The only thing that being in a genuine long-term marriage (and having children) will achieve is a "partner" or "marriage" visa and a reduced time to naturalization. You'd be required to live there full time with your partner, learn the language, history and integrate into society completely. Basically its only done if genuine and if you plan on living in the country long-term. You still have to pass the same testing and assessments as anyone else wanting to naturalize.
      If you want something quick - just do CBI and buy your way in legally. If that's too expensive, look at residence by investment as its generally more affordable and offers a shorter path to permanent residence which eventually leads to citizenship.
      As for access to CANZUK & CUNA - they're all dying a slow death known as "complete economic collapse" - its being dragged out by brain-dead politicians who keep hyperinflating the economy so things momentarily look good on paper but in reality are collapsing. Look at Australia - the money is being de-valued rapidly (i.e. it has SFA buying power), crime is at all time highs, the cost of living tripled since 2020 and is only increasing every week. Taxes are going through the roof (both existing ones getting increased and new ones being introduced) and those who can are leaving before the places totally collapses. Govt spending is only increasing and money that doesn't exist is being spent like no tomorrow. The debts HAVE to be paid which is why the "west" WILL collapse.
      Honestly there's zero reason for ANY follower of Nomad Capitalist to go to CANZUK or CUNA as its not worth the danger (as crime is sky-rocketing), nor is it worth risking being in CANZUK or CUNA and then being told to "pay taxes because you were here" as they're making it easier to fall into their tax residency because they're desperate for taxes.
