A couple of things should disqualify a citizenship to appear on Nomad Index: 1- Not allowing dual citizenship. 2. Not possible to acquire for most in reasonable amount of time (5 years or less).
3) global taxation or plans of that
And no health/vax mandates

Surprised the Netherlands is ranking so highly, when they make it very difficult to get dual citizenship and are currently having heated debates on greater wealth taxes.
Not to mention Netherlands has collapsed as a country
It's true that the Netherlands makes it difficult to obtain dual citizenship. However, passport rankings depend on various criteria. You can watch this video to learn about the benefits of a Netherlands passport here: ua-cam.com/video/74TRIv52c1s/v-deo.html
Netherlands is filled with illegal aliens , Jews, and white guilt leftist liberals. It’s over for Netherlands’ culture.
would not have The Netherlands as an option, besides taxes and so on.. i live here and doing research for ways to get out.. On a national level: big big issues with healthcare, education, immigration, housing market, plus deminiishing nature.

Have my Italian citizenship by descent appointment this Thursday in Philadelphia and headed to Luxembourg at the end of the month so my wife can claim her citizenship by descent there. It's taken a long time to get here but the end is hopefully near! 🤞🇮🇹 🇱🇺
How much time 2 b exact ?
@@ViralTubeRecords 5 years for Italy and a little over 2 years for Luxembourg. Gathering of documents and actually managing to get an appointment, in the case of Italy, is the most challenging.
Congrats!
As a Swedish and Finnish dual citizen I do not see any major opportunities as both countries are highly tax prone. Then again in my travel I seldom face difficulties with entrance to countries like Japan, Korea and the 5 Eyes .Russia treated me kindly until the war started . Have not tried to enter since 2022
Love this channel, thank you Andrew
I am also confused by the Spain ranking. Would love if you could make a video on Spain. Love your content!
We go into further detail about Spain in this video: ua-cam.com/video/CFK3Kw0GiqQ/v-deo.html
I love the content, have been watching for a year. I have never seen a video dedicated for people who arent happy where they are but are not multi millionares but are skilled workers in the US which are paying high percent of taxes.

I know this ain't the best passport but Benin is offering citizenship by recognition for descendants of trans Atlantic slave. It's actually very different from what other countries in African market offering. Benin does have a good trend economically with lots of reforms. I might check it out
Yes, Benin is very interesting. Togo too.
You have business ideas to share what to do in Benin? Perhaps Solar cell project , cars imports , food or spices imports , etc.
This video goes into more detail about African passports: ua-cam.com/video/C16NArhXpmI/v-deo.html
Speaking of Trans Atlantic slavery. Netherlands was a originator, leader and didn't stop until way after it was made illegal in USA. Just a horrible history. They actually tried to capture Recife because it was such a lucrative Slave trading destination.
@marshallleo6589 All those black slaves from Africa were captured and sold by other black people. The Netherlands stopped slavery in its territories, Africans are still enslaving each other today. Africa, just a horrible history, and present.
So what about one step below passport? Such as permanent residency? Where you can live freely, own property, but not allowed to vote or a few other things. How do those rate?
For example Mexico has that.
i really do agree with most of the ranking and his analysis.
i suppose people from tier B-C countries like me, the single BEST citizenship to get *realistically* is either ireland (via naturalisation), or malta (via paying lots of money).
_"...it just shows...the very heavy-handed nature"_
I wish more countries did that. The UK is flooded with Albanian gangs and we're too 'polite' to say "No. Out."
Will listen to it later 😍 Sounds insteresting, maybe not much for me but maybe for some of the people I know
Hope you like it!
In my opinion the passports of the future are not only emerging market countries but also countries that are becoming more neutral and in good standing with other countries.Countries that even run their economy differently.These countries are highly underrated some in Asian but not only Southeast Asia some in the middle region of Asia.Also middle eastern and south pacific countries that are doing things completely different than the west and are deciding to go their own way.
Best passports are Spain, Monaco, Lichtenstein, Luxembourg, France, Portugal, Andorra, San Marino, İtalian, Costa Rican, Panama, Brasilian, Argentinian , UAE, South Cyprus, Australian, Palau, Tuvalu, Vanuatu, Belize passports instead of Turkey passport or North Cyprus passport.
Be nimble! Mexico just overwhelmingly voted in a high tax, low freedom, low rule of law president and congress. Time to move on before the wave hits.
I’m so annoyed when I saw that because I wanted to apply for PR this year 🥴
She belongs to the same group of people who control the US. I don't even believe she got "elected" but maybe SELECTED.
The new presidenta is literally exactly the same as the outgoing president whom they’ve had for years already. Not defending them, they are both garbage, but if you were happy with Mexico under AMLO, nothing much should change under Sheinbaum.

Nice Portuguese passports, and Luxembourgish passport.
Nice. I love Switzerland. Unfortunately quit expensive and a passport is not so easy.
This list is interesting - you guys do your rankings completely differently from Henley’s list; this is more comprehensive than theirs for sure but I still think Japan should be higher up.

wtf 😬
To my knowledge the Netherlands is one of the few countries in the EU that doesn't allow more than 1 passport, so if you choose to become a dutch citizen, you must forfeit the other passport(s) and if you leave the Netherlands and you want another passport, the Dutch passport is forfeited. That is something I really need to find a workaround for. Are there any ways @nomadcapitalist?
I have the Brazilian one and in 1 year I can apply the canadian one
It's so great to have that list broken down and graded, Now I am thinking about Ireland. So many great options thank you for putting that together for us Nomad Capitalist!

Considering how many people carry a Spanish passport and how many other southern Europe passports are higher up the list, disappointing to not hear why Spain is so low? Above Oz which you mentioned. What's the reasoning?
Maybe fredom?
In Spain, if you are a male and a lady denounceyou, you are automatically guilty, you should prove otherwise and can cost years in jail and losing your money. In the other side, if you are woman you are always innocent.
Spain: taxes are ridiculously bad, they have a wealth tax, and they don’t allow dual citizenship (unless you’re from a former colony)
High taxes you can only have dual citizenship with a few countries.
@@Corlione yeah there are a load of countries above Spain which this applies to so a reasoning with more substance I'm looking for
@@coolrunnings5383 I have both a Spanish and British passport so not sure how important that is although the wealth tax is definitely a factor. Thanks 👍
Quick question. Which country do you recommend for a retiree on social security income?
Many choices to choose from Bolivia , Paraguay , Thailand , Laos , Vietnam , Malaysia , Philiphines ,etc.
You can watch our video about The Best Retirement Plan with Low Cost of Living: ua-cam.com/video/WFALIFIptzI/v-deo.html
@nomadcapitalist When discussing various areas to live, do you take into consideration livability factors such as air quality, water quality(or if lack of water is looking to be problematic in the near future), food security(do they grow much of their own food, quality of food(is organic produce readily available), natural disasters(discuss the history of an area), climate change(what are likely scenarios in the near future)? Also, generally, are the people welcoming or hostile to expats(immigrants) setting up house in their country)? Do they prefer residents of some countries over others?
There are many different factors we take into account when discussing different countries to live in, in this video we talk about where you could go if war broke out: ua-cam.com/video/aX0Rghmze3M/v-deo.html
Thank you.💜
The "dual cit" score for Netherlands is wrong or at least incomplete. You're not allowed to have a second passport by law. The official dutch government site says: "You might automatically lose your Dutch citizenship if you acquire another citizenship." and "As a rule, you lose Dutch citizenship if you voluntarily acquire citizenship of another country." There are exceptions, yes!
this was how it was in Australia too, before 2002, but it was never actually enforced.
Nederlands have 20 on "dual cit", a very low score. What are you talking about?
How many have lost their citizenship?
@@crazyg74 It was strictly enforced, many people were deported from Perth as a result, however there were many "little-known" exemptions. 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.
I am British but i think i would be better off flushing my passport down the toilet then swimming accross the channel from France to Dover and pretending i am a refugee because this way i get put into a hotel and dont have to pay a penny 🤔
I’m from the US and we are experiencing that same nonsense here. I would be better off ditching my passport, traveling to Mexico and re-entering the US by swimming across the Rio Grande.
Free money and housing for life!
@@Beachgirl1 You have my total sympathy. What pisses me of the most is that i served 15 years in the British Army so i have been to 4 theatres of war for my country and i could have saved the tax payers a lot of money and just went to war against the UK government and the country would be in a much better state than it is now with this shower of war mongering over educated bunch of greedy cowards that are running the show. All those people that have given their lives for so called Peace and Freedom have died in vain . Its a joke that our leaders condemn Putin because he wouldn't allow this situation 🤔
@@Beachgirl1 Go ahead and do it or just pipe down
When the stupid Russian invasion started I had to abandoned my nice village house, sell my car for half price and run across the Moldova border from my own government because otherwise they would send me to war although I don’t even know how to hold a gun. 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. Yeah, occasionally you get a free night in a motel full of cockroaches, where the staff treats you like shit. But I don’t think you’d find it entertaining.
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. Sorry.
What's wrong with a UK passport? It's very valuable
Can you have a dual passport?

_Peru Passport has been ranking up fast the last decade. It is going hand-in-hand with the Booming Economy_
True
@@manuelquiroga7994 and living in the right place in Lima , is a wise decision too.
all Peru has to do is become a democracy with a stable government
@@davidanalyst671a stable government doesn't mean it has to have democracy
About stable political situation , it is nothing to worry about. Peru is the only country in Latin America where Politics and Economy run onto 2 different paths. While politics could be unstable, economy is pretty stable. Economy grows even though political turnmoil. "El Milagro Economico del Peru a pesar de la inestabilidad política" No lack of food, gas, fuel, etc. Overproduction of electricity, abundance of water, good sewage water treatment plants, good agro-exportation, etc. No gangs on the cities as in Mexico, etc.
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’ve got the Portuguese, Spanish and Brazilian
UK person here who got a 🇩🇪 passport via my dad side 🙏🏼 extremely lucky! and I’m still annoyed that 7 years ago we agreed to do brexit

I'm watching from Jamaica 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
Jamaica is an excellent place to be an investor now. Lots of big developments and growth there. They are spending a lot of money on the infrastructure. Lots of very wealthy Chinese restaurants investors there as well. Last time I checked they were not offering citizenship via investment though.
Welcome.
Unbelievable, cannot sleep.
Wealthy western men are not acquiring Western European visas or north American passports. We are going to Eastern Europe (last white safe haven) and south east Asia (where women embrace the patriarch).
As for tax. We have many countries to pick from for zero tax. In fact the only reason I keep my western passport is to keep my western job. Once retired and ready to sell my investments, renouncing my citizenship to avoid taxes and moving to a Eastern Europe and south east Asia.

You can read about Jordan's passport ranking here: nomadcapitalist.com/nomad-passport-index/passport/jordan/
For people considering Ireland, Irish citizenship when obtained via naturalisation comes with caveats. It is subject to revocation if you dont live there after become their citizen
Why isn't Austria in the top 5? ...I got Austrian citizenship through my Jewish ancestry a few years ago I use it all the time but I've bearly the there...
Dual citizenship (after birth) is just for jews
How about Singapore passport
where is singapore
Its getting harder and harder to get citizenship. But you can still work here if you have the skillset to work. We have minimum salary for expats.
In the real world, this list should have the USA near the top simply because this is where you can make money, create and fund a business. A country where professional people can thrive and become successful and where taxes are still extremely low if you live in a red state. I can guarantee that income taxes are heavier in Switzerland than in the USA. Real estate investors in the US can depreciate the asset and can avoid paying capital gains forever. Meanwhile, in places like Switzerland, either you have the money or you don't. Very expensive place to live and 0 opportunity for business or becoming truly successful. Ever heard of a Swiss start up ? Yeah, me neither.
I have no US passport. That didn't stop me from creating an llc and all my banking the the US, and with my client base in the US. Except the US won't chase me around the world for my tax. Being a US citizen would be an absolute nightmare for someone that wants freedom from worldwide taxation, especially if you don't want to live there (and why would you? What argument is there to live in the US? The standard of living is so low compared to so many other places in the world)
I don’t think you considered that Ireland also has the only common travel area with the uk, therefore imo is probably number 1 passport in the world
Uae? Isn't it hard to get it?
This is how Kevin O’Leary became a UAE citizen: ua-cam.com/video/L-N0Y4GMPB0/v-deo.html
I would say that a passport to any EU country would be a good choice because it would then give you access to the whole EU and make it easier to turn around to get citizenship of the EU country of your choice that would not be available to you otherwise.
True, but why would anyone seeking freedom from oppression, censorship, and high taxes want that though? The folks who are clamoring to enter there are the poor, uneducated, unskilled ones who are seeking free stuff, and who could never have qualified for any type of visa to go there under the former rules. I visit many cities in Europe and they don’t even look or feel European anymore. And if while there I post on social media that the Prime Minister is fat I would be arrested and fined and probably get deported.
When you have a second passport, are you restricted to said restrictions on both passports? Or do you have the flexibility of both passports?… Ex. As a Canadian, we would like to get a second passport. If we got the Malaysian one, where you need a visa to enter the US. Would we then be subject to that requirement? Or would the flexibility of being Canadian as well, still be available to enter visa free. Assuming you get the flexibility of both, hence the benefit of doing so. But just wanted to clarify
you entre on the passoprt that is easiest. I am Canadian but I live in France. I hold 3 passports. If I need to go to the US I will exit France on my Irish passport and enter the US on my Canadian one. If I were to try to enter the US on either my Irish or my UK passport I would be denied as I need a VISA to go to the US with those passports.
Heather, no one is denied entry to the USA anymore. And you don’t need a visa. Just go to Mexico and walk across like everyone else. You might even get some free stuff too.
The most powerful passport in the world with a draft is the Singaporean Passport. Other powerful passports are the Swiss Passport and the UAE Passport and the Irish Passport.
How many and which countries don’t allow dual citizenship so I can cross them off my list
EU is sinking and not great future
Clever ppl knew this since they forced United Europe many years ego.its Utopia from the very beginning that works only for smal number of people ,NATO & illegal immigrants from Middle East.
Even though economies of the western EU economies are stagnant there's lots of development going on in Eastern Europe such as Poland and Romania where cost of living and business operating costs are comparatively much cheaper, in Sweden tons of copper and other rare earth minerals are being discovered for EV production, The EU needs to stop prioritising Ukraine and all the other non-sense and get back to getting cheap Russian Oil

What country is #5?
I just want to know who I have to marry to get a great passport that includes visa-free travel back to the U.S.
Which counties do you recommend for finding a "passport wife"?
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.
I'm British and can get an Irish passport because of my ancestry. I'm keen because it gets me access to the EU if I want it, but could dual nationality cause me taxation issues or complications?
That would be a question for our team, and you can email help@nomadcapitalist.com. Generally dual nationality does not cause tax issues; your tax residence does. (Not tax advice)
i hope you have started te porcess of that. It took me 3yrs to get my Irish passport. But it is totally worth it.

Hey with regards to Switzerland your Passport Country page is not entirely correct -> Switzerland since March 2024 has also visa-free access to China! Also your information regarding how long it takes to get a Swiss passport is wrong as it's no longer 12 years but only 10 years!

Its good but its for only 15 days
Indeed.
yeah 27 EU and the UK...
0:04 From 199 to number 1💅💅
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.
@cineman6015 I understand, Switzerland's defence is almost exclusively to defend the country. Unlike some other countries. But like you mentioned. The choice is to pay or serve. Not paying and not serving is not a choice. That said, the Swiss should get bonus points because the passport is more beautiful. 😅
@@ye6207 not to mention you have the choice between 3 civil services, the army being one of them, so you can get around paying if you are ready to give time for the other civil services 🤷🏻♂️ as a swiss, I can say that those that want to avoid military service can do it quite easily. But if you decide to get the nationality when you are older or have already a family, then I would say paying is the best option
This ranking is very “western-world-heavy”… Japan and South Korea in the 30s make zero sense to me.
I would love to see a ranking based mostly on freedoms. I don’t really care about how many countries I can visit without a visa, or what the perception of the country is. I care about whether I’m going to be locked out of stores unless I submit to forced medical procedures, whether I’m going to get locked out of my bank account if I say something wrong on Facebook and whether my kids are going to be conscripted. Obviously your target market is millionaires who want to avoid paying tax and live the high life, but I think there’s a great opportunity for you to serve people like me who want to set up an escape plan/insurance policy in case a SHTF event occurs in their country. Just an idea. 🤷♀️

I have an eu passport and a canadian. As a forward thinker I find both pretty useless knowing what is coming. It's better to be the citizen of a tiny island nation that leaves you alone and live somewhere in SEA.
100%. I have USA and Australian passports. Feel the same exact way.
@@user-xg6yc8ho3wI get the USA one, but isn't the Australian one good when travelling around the world?
@@vincentalakija5515 Well it's about diversifying your TYPE of passport. Having multiple passports that are all Western ones, or even more closely tied like the "5 eyes countries" (USA, UK, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand) is kind of pointless. Because they all follow the same agendas and have similar access to other countries basically. I want to get a non-Western passport like from Asia, Eastern Europe/Russia, Africa, to mix it up and have an escape route from what feels like a sinking ship.
For years I've been dreaming about the Canadian Passport, but I figure out that the Irish is the best one, you can have the right to live in the entire EU plus UK, and the Irish passport is very well welcoming everywhere around the globe :).
Any reason Japan not mentioned?

@@nomadcapitalist Thanks!
What about the Caribbean islands ? I feel this was completely skipped ?
The Bahamas and saint kitts & nevis are what I like the most. Almost heaven!
Oh , I forgot, Cayman Islands too.
I just got my domincan republic citizenship through my mother. Carribean passports are usually in the C to D level when it comes to travel besides St Lucia i believe. But theres really good tax incentives in many of them, including DRs territorial tax system
he didn't talk about them, but they are on the list
they are ok now but in the future they wil cancel their visa free to Europe and that will be very soon maybe next year !!
Australian passport costs are one of the most expensive in the world. It's trivial for HNW people but it should be a consideration.
Aussie passports only cost a couple of hundred dollars. You mus mean the application for residency.
@@user-xg6yc8ho3w Aussie passports are going to be more than $400 each application.
Surprized that Swiss is first... I tried my best to leave that little country for years, my friends too. All good people I know wants to leave or already left. Really
Hi , Swiss perception is really high, where else do you think you would have probably moved? and if yes any particular reason?
@@guneetchowdhary4530 as a normal Swiss in Switzerland we are just treated like people just pay invoices and fill in tax declaration and the country is very small and boring. Health insurance about 600€ per month and you still pay invoices of doctors + it is compulsory. not having insurance is a criminal offense. Swiss is like a small version of the US. To live. But passport bro is OK. Passport is good to leave the country. But you can do with other passports...
I would skip Sweden, I live here, unless you want to live in the countryside and you are happy doing very little, you might not like it here. The gang crime is too high and there are too many bombings every year. Capital gains are 30% flat no exceptions, and income taxes are 20-30% out of your paycheck, and the employer also pays taxes on your behalf outside of your salary, so total effective taxes burden is 45-60%. Go to Portugal. Eu passport can get your just about wherever you want. taxes are good, so is the food and the people are wonderfully laid back.
Switzerland is now ten years.
8d4o0c4 since when?
@@adrian-4767 That change occurred in 2018 or 2019? My daughter was just naturalized (years of residency for kids between the ages of 10-18 count double). If you look on the immigration pages of the Swiss government, it clearly now states 10 years... but you need 10 years, a C-card (permanent residency), language fluency, and an immigration interview/test.
@@8d4o0c4 and how many years were before? (now 10 years you said, but before that?)
How come no Singapore?
Probably because they have to do 2 years of military service and for taxes I dont know
@@ProFaNeZGaming They have very low taxes, but also don't allow dual citizenship.

san marino passport is ranked too low! you guys put 10 points for "double citizenship" but it actually allows dual citizenship! (i am both sammarinese and italian)
But thats the exception i believe, dee
@@mattball7074 some friends of mine are both US citizens and Sammarinese
@@deeseasea after the 10 years eh, hm thats interesting. I have a website if you search imontheball and im about to post about San Marino. Hesitantly I may add though because I dont want the secret to be out hahah theres a great thing going--for millennia!
The most powerful passport in the world without a draft is the Japanese Passport.

Passports are meant for travel, so including criteria like dual citizenship & taxation is absurd. Those factors relate to citizenship benefits & should not be mixed with passport rankings.
