Bro I think I'm blessed cuz I have the Spanish visa but cuz my parents are Algerians I have the Algerian one too. So I can switch between those. (Although here the law says I can't use my Algerian passport if I'm Spanish citizen but they can't force me to burn my passport so I still have it).
I think we can agree that EU passport > any other passport, because not only are they the stronger ones, but albo allow you to travel around EU without passport, live and work there without any permits or visas, insurance around EU, and give you benefits at the airports such as much faster, automatic passport control when it’s needed, so basically you can travel around the whole continent as if it was your county, due to this fact. Borders don’t even have controls, and most of the times they are invisible and not marked in any way, so you don’t even realize when you’re crossing the border, so I’d rather have EU passport, then any other passport.
Very true. I have both, US and Polish passport. If not these stupid laws requiring you to use US passport all around the world and needing a stamp in the passport to use international driving permit, I would use my Polish passport in Europe anytime over the US one!

I'm from South America, I see some differences between passports. In some coutries the controls in airports are more strict for people of my area, I heard stories even of discrimination.

I have another reason for being a "Passport Bro" that many people don't think about. I am a Digital Nomad, of course, but I am at the stage in my life when my duty to care for my aging mother is starting to kick in. Young men become "Passport Bros" for romantic reasons, and for finding someone to build a life with. Others take this route in order to build their dream business and not have it snuffed out at birth by an over-weening State. I have done both but now the reason I referred to above is kicking in. My mother is in a country with a crumbling health service, and there is no way I would consign her to rotting in some "care home" where the underpaid and over-stressed "carers" couldn't care less about her. I live in a country where her health insurance costs less than her annual local government tax. We have already chosen a lovely, kind nurse for her, whom she has come to know. We have all the pieces in place to move her to a place where she will be treated best ... far better than in the dystopian hell-hole that the "West" has become.

I like what he is saying but I have a small story to inform people, not to be contrarian or something, just I really think it is important for everyone to be aware of. It's a response to "I don't necessarily want to be associated with what a country does" for neutrality in passports. Just so everyone knows: I am absolutely NOT dogging or mocking ANYONE in this story, it showed me I am quite in a position of privilege and don't agree with some of this video. So just some context, I am an American (citizenship and passport). I was living in [the country of] Lebanon for couple of years. There, I had met MANY people with different passports (and citizenships). To name a few, Lebanese (obviously), Syrian, Ethiopian, Phillipines, and rarely Iraqi or Palestinian. My coworker was Syrian and possessed the Syrian passport. Lebanon currently has some laws as to what Syrians (people who hold Syrian passports) can do in Lebanon. Some things include (but not limited to) not being allowed to play the lottery in their name, or owning some kinds of property. So, one day his passport was going to expire, and he overstayed his visa for quite some time. If he (legally) crosses the border of Lebanon into Syria or go to the Syrian embassy in Lebanon, the Lebanese officials will throw him back into his home country of his passport (Syria, this fact will be important later) and/or Syrian officials will capture him and force him to attend compulsory military conscription. That is a requirement being a Syrian citizen that you must attend I don't know how long but sometime in your lifetime, and many people don't want to do it for many reasons. Regardless of pride or nationalism, my former Syrian coworker would like to have a different passport (become a citizen to another country) since it gives him, word for word verbatim: "a different kind of life". He wouldn't have to deal with this nonsense, that's DEEP! So when the gentleman in the video says he doesn't want to be associated with what a country does and he gave examples of going around the world putting his money where HE wants because American Government (or any government) doesn't let Americans (US Passport holders) do certain investments, that makes me only assume in somewhat of an ignorant way that he has high-end salary clients or something. Because that example I gave of my Syrian coworker? A LOT of people have "bad" passports, and whether they like it or not they are TIED to that regime or country just as I am tied to any American government regardless if I agree/disagree with the politics. When my friends in Lebanon were concerned my Syrian coworker would be sent back to Syria, they said sent BACK to Syria not kicked OUT of Lebanon! Because governments return you to what country your passport is! If you have Saint Kitts and Nevis passport that's all fine and well, but again most people I know I'm talking down to the gritty nature of it the thick and thin, when they get sent back to their homeland the first thing would be doing is trying to get a job, use resources, do SOMETHING to build. If you're just this investor shoving money around collecting passports, then YEAH having a "bad" passport won't affect you, you aren't going to feel the thick and thin of all of it. As they say in Lebanon, "If I had millions of [US] dollars, I would live in ANYWHERE, Afghanistan, middle of Mongolia, and not give a fuck about anything or any problems". So it wouldn't matter to them if they had money, that's not the issue for most!
If I get a resident passport in for example Argentina, does that mean I pay income tax in that country? I'm a retired American and I have to pay taxes there even though I don't live there. Would more passports just mean more countries to pay income taxes?
A passport is a citizenship. Citizenship isn’t tax residency (expect in the US). Tax residency is usually based off where you actually reside, for how long, how and where you make your income, and what you own in the country. Each county defines it differently, but its usually some combination of those. For people who aren’t US citizens, you can in theory be tax-resident nowhere (but you have to keep moving).
Jesse is right. Most countries define tax resident by living more than 183 days a year in that country so if you live in 3 different countries side by side (say 120 days each), you are tax resident nowhere 😅
I have an Italian and Brazilian passport. Used to think my Brazilian passport was kinda useless but looking at how things are going, I'm happy I have it
the BRICS will change many things also for middle eastern passports like Saudi , UAE and also in the process Bahrain and Kuwait and Oman and Jordan !!!! no more privilege for some countries
wish there was a channel like this but for reviewing options for non-western folks looking to build capital for future wealth-building 😂 My problem is the other way round - I've got a boring weak ass "crappy" Asian passport so no access to high paying jobs or business opps. 😢
Howso? I love all this stuff but I’ve started to become genuinely curious how much benefit you really get once you have certain key passports. I can understand wanting at least 1 EU Passport, and maybe 1 CARICOM Passport, but outside of maybe one from Australia, NZ, Canada or Japan, what’s even the upside to getting more passports? I mean why would that be better than just a residency permit?
@@hipreference I travel all the time, and the two I have are great passports, but they still won’t allow me to many places without visa. Plus there are some specific examples: during covid Italians weren’t allowed to leave Europe, so I used the Polish passport
@@hipreference A big reason, I've heard Andrew say, is to permit one to flee to a safer area when the proverbial sheist hits the fan. In that scenario, many jurisdictions won't be issuing residency permits - especially not at a moment's notice...
The passport strength is about convivence, yes someone with money can get the visas they need, that takes time and effort vs just getting up and going.
I often travel to fascist countries, and the United States passport does not give me visa-free travel to rogue states like Russia, North Korea, and Iran, which are big customers in the arms business. The NATO war of aggression has slowed my access to these critical markets, and everyone knows the future is fascism; look at the Chinese market compared to the United States. It does not matter that the United States has a third of the global wealth and is the wealthiest consumer market in the world when there are so many poor countries aligned with China that will tax me less.
I am from Argentina and my last name is German. All my friends are European descents. Several have EU passports. How come we are not a Western country?
People who don't travel anywhere (outside their native country) won't need one to be honest. People like me have to check on family outside my country (USA) so I need a passport to travel. I know some friends who have never left the US, so for them a passport was this new concept they have to study up on.
A USA passport gave me freedom and a chance to build my new life 45 years ago. I would not call it a bad passport, but you can have another if you want
Completely agree with you. USA is a great passport 45 years ago and today as well. If someone does not appreciate it by all meeans dont hesitate and relinquish your citizenship.
Why would you want a passport for a country that has 1/3 of the global wealth and the richest consumer market in the world? Also, the country that funds 1/3 of all R&D spending globally which is the largest of all other nations; when can I get visa-free travel to Russia with another passport?
It is never better, but easier said if you were born with a passport where you are treated respectfully by default. Big example? wait until you qualify for a world championship and you cannot go because you do not know if "your visa will be issued or not" or because there are no appointments for a visa for 6 months and you have to plan your trip 2 years in advanced to be given a one month visa after all the hustle.

He's telling you to get a second passport. If you want to do it, then do it. If not, moaning isn't going to change anything. Lots of Africans get second passports.
Yeah the US passport is problematic (if you don't leave there) due to its tax responsibility. But saying that a EU passport or one from an advanced Asian country is not very sought after, and beneficial is stupid. Try to do anything with a African or bad parts of South American or problematic Asia passport. Yes, the offshore countries that you sell passports from is a great option for many because as former European colonies their citizens get sympathetic treatments by European immigration. But you don't see europeans or Japanese or US citizens buying those.
Having a Turkish passport is not a good opportunity for schengen visa, we can"t book for any European country visa application date!!!

U.K. passport were the best (for me)! but now it's f**king horrible since they've left the EU zone. I would rather have Danish, German or other EU passports.
EU passports give you a ton of benefits. “Freedom of Movement” means you can live, work, retire, study, invest etc in any EU country, and idk if you have kids or grandkids but if you pass it on to them they can take advantage of the amazing Universities available for free or at reduced fees to EU students. That alone is worth the price of admission, especially if you can get Citizenship by Descent or find a relatively affordable and swift way to become naturalized.
What is the criteria for becoming a Nomad capitalist client eg: is being a millionaire (high network ) mandatory, do you need to be an entrepreneur, can one maintain his real estate properties in the US after renouncing US citizenship ?

I could only imagine what it must feel to have an !sra3li passport as your only passport... The most despised country in the whole wide world these days... I'm Costa Rican (by birth), Spaniard (by descend), US citizen (prior military service) and these days I hide my US passport more and I'm now thinking it might be wise to replace my CRI and ESP passports so they don't have a city in the USA as the place of issuance, due to the genocide in Gaza perpetrated with US taxpayer money and bombs. (I'm proud to have made my tax bill for 2023 ZERO)
"When I was a US citizen, I avoided going to the US." Yeah, I'm right there with you! I have to go back to the US in two days, and I'm not looking forward to it. $800/nt at the Sarasota Ritz, then I have to rent a car and drive everywhere. Dinners will be $100 a pop for mediocre food. Not to mention everyone is just in that American bubble and can only talk about a very limited number of subjects and places. I'm seriously looking into giving up my citizenship. As someone who is all about value, I don't see the value in living in the US or being a US citizen given the alternatives.
Umm... Why is everyone harassing Turkey? I mean, we can't go to EU but we CAN go to South America, Southeastern Asia and Central Asia much easier than a US citizen, especially to Middle East and Central Asia, US of A citizens have to get visas which are exceptionally hard for US, while we can just go by with just a passport. So if we aren't gonna go to Western Europe or Mexico (They just don't allow us on the border cuz they say "You guys may escape to US from Mexico!") our passport is relatively good.

A US passport can be a nightmare if you are expatriate because you will pay taxes based on citizenship instead of the income you earn. In a multipolar world, you need to have the most convenient passport to make business. Western countries can have prestige based on the number of countries you can visit visa free, however, is it the best option for your person goals? Think strategically by studying what is the best for you without patriotism.

Regardless of pride or nationalism, my former Syrian coworker would like to have a different passport (become a citizen to another country) since it gives him, word for word verbatim: "a different kind of life". He wouldn't have to deal with this nonsense, that's DEEP!
So when the gentleman in the video says he doesn't want to be associated with what a country does and he gave examples of going around the world putting his money where HE wants because American Government (or any government) doesn't let Americans (US Passport holders) do certain investments, that makes me only assume in somewhat of an ignorant way that he has high-end salary clients or something. Because that example I gave of my Syrian coworker? A LOT of people have "bad" passports, and whether they like it or not they are TIED to that regime or country just as I am tied to any American government regardless if I agree/disagree with the politics. When my friends in Lebanon were concerned my Syrian coworker would be sent back to Syria, they said sent BACK to Syria not kicked OUT of Lebanon! Because governments return you to what country your passport is! If you have Saint Kitts and Nevis passport that's all fine and well, but again most people I know I'm talking down to the gritty nature of it the thick and thin, when they get sent back to their homeland the first thing would be doing is trying to get a job, use resources, do SOMETHING to build. If you're just this investor shoving money around collecting passports, then YEAH having a "bad" passport won't affect you, you aren't going to feel the thick and thin of all of it. As they say in Lebanon, "If I had millions of [US] dollars, I would live in ANYWHERE, Afghanistan, middle of Mongolia, and not give a fuck about anything or any problems". So it wouldn't matter to them if they had money, that's not the issue for most!
If I get a resident passport in for example Argentina, does that mean I pay income tax in that country? I'm a retired American and I have to pay taxes there even though I don't live there. Would more passports just mean more countries to pay income taxes?
A passport is a citizenship. Citizenship isn’t tax residency (expect in the US). Tax residency is usually based off where you actually reside, for how long, how and where you make your income, and what you own in the country. Each county defines it differently, but its usually some combination of those. For people who aren’t US citizens, you can in theory be tax-resident nowhere (but you have to keep moving).
@@jesselloyd207 thank you.
Jesse is right. Most countries define tax resident by living more than 183 days a year in that country so if you live in 3 different countries side by side (say 120 days each), you are tax resident nowhere 😅

Educate yourself, real education is a good wealth
I have 🇮🇹 and 🇵🇱 passports, and it would be useful to have more!
Howso? I love all this stuff but I’ve started to become genuinely curious how much benefit you really get once you have certain key passports. I can understand wanting at least 1 EU Passport, and maybe 1 CARICOM Passport, but outside of maybe one from Australia, NZ, Canada or Japan, what’s even the upside to getting more passports? I mean why would that be better than just a residency permit?
@@hipreference I travel all the time, and the two I have are great passports, but they still won’t allow me to many places without visa.
Plus there are some specific examples: during covid Italians weren’t allowed to leave Europe, so I used the Polish passport
@@hipreference A big reason, I've heard Andrew say, is to permit one to flee to a safer area when the proverbial sheist hits the fan. In that scenario, many jurisdictions won't be issuing residency permits - especially not at a moment's notice...
Extradition laws, you can do something big and escape there, after a while your search disappears@@hipreference
Andrew I never heard you talk about the Isle of Man can you please share your take?
The passport strength is about convivence, yes someone with money can get the visas they need, that takes time and effort vs just getting up and going.
I often travel to fascist countries, and the United States passport does not give me visa-free travel to rogue states like Russia, North Korea, and Iran, which are big customers in the arms business. The NATO war of aggression has slowed my access to these critical markets, and everyone knows the future is fascism; look at the Chinese market compared to the United States. It does not matter that the United States has a third of the global wealth and is the wealthiest consumer market in the world when there are so many poor countries aligned with China that will tax me less.
There's literally no downside to having a western passport (except USA where you have to file). There's also nothing wrong with getting more.
I hate my south African passport sometimes 😢
I love South Afrika, i need to go there.
What about a Russian passport? I feel a lot of pain for that now, cause I haven't done anything wrong, but have problems because of citizenship.
I am from Argentina and my last name is German. All my friends are European descents. Several have EU passports. How come we are not a Western country?
To be happy I do not need a passport.
People who don't travel anywhere (outside their native country) won't need one to be honest. People like me have to check on family outside my country (USA) so I need a passport to travel. I know some friends who have never left the US, so for them a passport was this new concept they have to study up on.
A USA passport gave me freedom and a chance to build my new life 45 years ago. I would not call it a bad passport, but you can have another if you want
you missed his point...and you even said it...45 years ago! times are not the same anymore
Usa 45 years ago was a dream ,now a nighrmare
Completely agree with you. USA is a great passport 45 years ago and today as well. If someone does not appreciate it by all meeans dont hesitate and relinquish your citizenship.
AMEN brother!

Wise words. Any take on why China has given visa free entry to Spain and 3 other European countries for 1 year?
Malaysians get visa free entry to China too.
I believe they are low on money and they need tourist to spend money in china. Especially when they are heavily sanctioned by the west
Here's a video idea: countries that are gun friendly, like Czech, Switzerland and you could get a citizenship there.
europe is not obsessed with guns, for good reasons. switzerland has a lot of guns BUT they are also well regulated. it's a privilege, not a right.
Thanks for the suggestion, we have already covered it in this video: The Best Countries for Gun Owners

Authoritarian
A gun is useless in Switzerland except for hunting and it’s hard to get the nationality
Guns aren't the problem. You can have a gun, legal or illegal. Your problem will be ammo.
Insanity! I would not give up my USA passport for any amount of tax breaks. Go ahead and do it and be like Lee Harvey Oswald. Ridiculous idea.
Why would you want a passport for a country that has 1/3 of the global wealth and the richest consumer market in the world? Also, the country that funds 1/3 of all R&D spending globally which is the largest of all other nations; when can I get visa-free travel to Russia with another passport?
@@samuelcalkin3516 Because I would not deal with as you put it facist countries for money. Thats why.
@@AJV-handlebus Everyone's passport strategy is different
It is never better, but easier said if you were born with a passport where you are treated respectfully by default.
Big example? wait until you qualify for a world championship and you cannot go because you do not know if "your visa will be issued or not" or because there are no appointments for a visa for 6 months and you have to plan your trip 2 years in advanced to be given a one month visa after all the hustle.
13:08 It's so hilarious!😂
5 passports sound like a good idea until it’s time to renew all 5… I have 2 and it’s a pain in the ass. I can’t imagine 5.
One passport is a MAJOR issue.... they shut down your passport, you're done. The issue with multiple passports is the taxes.
I think if a friend chided me about visa-free travel to Equatorial New Guinea, I would have one less friend.

what about a person who have an iraqi passport😢
No
Yeah the US passport is problematic (if you don't leave there) due to its tax responsibility. But saying that a EU passport or one from an advanced Asian country is not very sought after, and beneficial is stupid. Try to do anything with a African or bad parts of South American or problematic Asia passport. Yes, the offshore countries that you sell passports from is a great option for many because as former European colonies their citizens get sympathetic treatments by European immigration. But you don't see europeans or Japanese or US citizens buying those.
I'd never renounce my American passport but also having a Jamaican one is a privilege.
But, you will have to fill out a two page form every year with the IRS if you work overseas, so hard.

EU passports give you a ton of benefits. “Freedom of Movement” means you can live, work, retire, study, invest etc in any EU country, and idk if you have kids or grandkids but if you pass it on to them they can take advantage of the amazing Universities available for free or at reduced fees to EU students. That alone is worth the price of admission, especially if you can get Citizenship by Descent or find a relatively affordable and swift way to become naturalized.

Argentina Passport 🇦🇷😍
Umm... Why is everyone harassing Turkey?

So if we aren't gonna go to Western Europe or Mexico (They just don't allow us on the border cuz they say "You guys may escape to US from Mexico!") our passport is relatively good.
