And here at Nomad Capitalist, we help people like you do just that. But having a second passport isn’t ideal if you have to relinquish your original citizenship in order to […]
Dateline: Riga, Latvia As they say: you snooze, you lose. Truer words cannot be spoken when it comes to international diversification and the topics we discuss here. One of those topics, for example, is the importance of getting a second residency and working toward a second citizenship. Here in the Baltic states, Latvia has been […]
Our sense of nationalism makes us think that, wherever it was we were born, that place is “the best”. Of course, statistically, only one place can be the best. We can let our emotions color our judgment of a place, even if we’ve never been anywhere else. It is this blind allegiance to one country […]
With the sheer scale, vast number of countries and dizzying variety of experiences on offer in Central and South America, you’ll certainly need to do some digging to unearth the destination that works best for you. One thing that may help when choosing between the 33 nations that make up this spectacular continent is that, […]
Last updated: June 6, 2022 Dateline: Vilnius, Lithuania Lithuania offers a citizenship by descent program that is just as liberal, if not more so, than the more commonly discussed European second passport programs. You are eligible to restore Lithuanian citizenship if your parents, grandparents, or even great-grandparents were born in Lithuania. Sure, there are some […]
Dateline: Seoul, South Korea Yesterday, I shared information about how to get second residency – and possibly a passport – here in South Korea. For such a developed country, the process is somewhat inexpensive from an investment visa standpoint. The process can even lead to a second citizenship. There are a number of second passport […]
Last Updated: April 26th, 2022 Dateline: Seoul, South Korea Which is the best Asian citizenship in the world? While we don’t talk about South Korea a lot, South Korean citizenship is one you may want to consider. South Korea, while a bit of a mystery to Westerners, has been an amazing success story. We frequently […]
It’s no surprise that countries like Norway or Switzerland rank high when it comes to freedom of the press. We frequently discuss these countries as being great places for personal and data privacy. Many European countries, despite their economic issues, have greater freedom of speech than the United States. Each year, Reporters Without Borders ranks […]
Asia offers some of the best food experiences on earth. As Asian dishes become more popular worldwide, more people are looking for authentic Asian cuisine. Meanwhile, people in Asia not only rely on their local food traditions, but on increasingly authentic international food options, as well. All which makes Asia a great place for food […]
Last update: September 15, 2017 Dateline: Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia As a kid, I was in awe of skyscrapers. Even at four years old, I would count the windows from the ground level to the top floor. And of all the buildings in the world, the Petronas Towers in Kuala Lumpur were my favorite. To this […]
Last updated February 10, 2021 Dateline: Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia Malaysia is a melting pot of people from around the world – Malay, Chinese, Indian, Middle Eastern, and more. While many of these people are Malaysian citizens, there are also quite a few expats here who hold any number of different passports. We talk a lot […]
Milton Friedman said that inflation is “always and everywhere a monetary phenomenon”. Throughout history, plenty of countries have seen inflation rates so high that hyperinflation occurred. However, we wanted to examine the countries which currently suffer from the highest inflation rate. With runaway money printing happening around the world, these countries really take the cake. […]
Reporting from: Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia Privacy rights seem to be a lost art these days. In their quest to totally make you their slave, desperate governments are working to collect as much data on you as possible. As a perpetual traveler, I’ve escaped much of the nonsense that alphabet soup agencies like the NSA have […]
Reporting from: Bangkok, Thailand I’ve often said that I love spending time in Asia for one simple reason. While I love the big cities, the hustle and bustle, and the great food, there’s something pervasive in many Asian cultures: they’re aware of the world around them and adjust accordingly. Not long ago, I wrote about […]
Dateline: Siem Reap, Cambodia In Khmer, Siem Reap literally means “Siam defeated”. It’s an old tribute to the great expansion of the Khmer Empire, which covered most of historical Indochina – and beyond – in Southeast Asia. One thousand years ago, little was being written about Europe. It was a backward place. Asia was where […]
Dateline: Hong Kong-Macau Ferry Terminal Update 2020: This article was originally written in 2013 when I first began traveling and exploring offshore options around the world. To hear my most recent thoughts about current events in Hong Kong, watch this video. Every time I travel through a new country, I’m reminded of just how easy […]
We frequently discuss easy ways to get a second passport. When people hear that I zip through the diplomatic line using a government-issued Global Entry card when entering the Land of the Free, they want to know ways they can have access to diplomat-like perks of their own. Of course, having a second passport is […]
The government is certainly following that old phrase, “better to seek forgiveness than permission” lately. Well, except until it comes to the forgiveness part. It’s now come out that in The Land of the Free, the Department of “Justice” had phone records for five more phones at Fox News. Every day, things get worse and […]
I sent my US passport into the State Department yesterday so they can add more pages to it. I’ve been hitting it hard the last two years or so, and all those stamps, stickers, and visas ate away all the empty space in my passport. I’ll be spending the entire second half of this year […]
Your options for escaping your home country have decreased dramatically in the last fifteen years. Yes, you are still technically free to move to almost any country in the world you wish. Just pack up your things and go. And for most people in the world, that’s the road taken. The British banker who takes […]
Reporting from: Singapore Here in one of the world’s bastions of economic freedom, the proof that you need to be planting flags around the world is all the more apparent. Coming to Singapore is quite an experience. Changi Airport is amazingly clean. Flowers adorn the walkways. When you arrive from an international flight, you are […]
Reporting from: Manila, Philippines Here at Nomad Capitalist, I lay out my top suggestions for internationalizing your life and becoming free from the shackles of one country and one government. The world is just too connected and too open these days not to. One of the steps is purposefully vague: I encourage you to find […]
Which country has the most millionaires per capita? If you said the United States, you’d be wrong. In fact, the United States doesn’t appear on the list of most millionaires per capita, nor is it the richest country in the world. So where you can do to fit in if you have a big suitcase […]
When people hear that I’m off to live in Vietnam or open a bank account in Hong Kong or start a business in the Indian Ocean nation the Seychelles, the often ask: “Why? Don’t you love America? It’s the best place on earth!” The answer is that I use the Five Flag theory to find […]
We recently shared five countries running budget surpluses. While a new list of sovereign players are emerging with their fiscal house in order, there is still the list of those who continue to deficit spend their way into the poorhouse. And as we know, you as their citizen are the one who will pay the […]
To those in the west, the world’s emerging and newly developed economies are often incorrectly seen as “third world”, “corrupt” or “backward”. Many people just don’t understand how deep the transformation is in these countries and how stable and advanced they now are. However, Nomad Capitalists know that opportunity comes in all shapes and sizes […]
Part of what’s so frustrating about doing business in much of the west is that you feel like the government doesn’t care about you. Sure, I doubt running a hot dog cart in Sudan is much fun, but the big western governments really take the cake for using and abusing the productive class. And unlike […]
Where should you plant your citizenship flag? This past weekend on my radio show, I spoke with passport guru Mark Nestmann about who is calling him for a second passport and where they are moving. If you didn’t hear it, you should definitely listen here. Mark helps people get passports largely through so-called “citizenship by investment” programs […]
A few weeks ago, I was doing some out-of-town holiday shopping and ended up striking up a conversation with one of the staff members at the store. It turns out he was Ukrainian and had lived in the U.S. for five years. He said he liked where he was living, and that there was much […]
