As you navigate the streets of Berlin, the contrast between the old and the new is striking. Historical landmarks like the Brandenburg Gate and the Reichstag stand as silent reminders of Germany’s tumultuous past, while modern structures such as the Bahntower and Shell-Haus signal a constantly evolving nation. But the real story of Berlin isn’t […]
The Irish have a well-earned reputation for being some of the friendliest people in the world. But that’s far from being their only strength because, when it comes to the kind of offshore strategies we discuss at Nomad Capitalist, Ireland ticks a lot of boxes.

Due to its relaxed lifestyle, low tax regime, and growing interest from foreign investors, Grenada has been gaining traction as a popular relocation option for high-net-worth expats dedicated to preserving their wealth and diversifying assets. To support this, the country has implemented a straightforward citizenship by investment (CBI) program that enables individuals and their families […]
As a tropical archipelago in the South Pacific, Vanuatu is many people’s idea of paradise. Remote and relatively untouched by Western influences, it offers a more raw, authentic and appealing island experience to anyone seeking culture over commercialisation. But Vanuatu isn’t just about turquoise waters and traditional villages. It also stands out for its citizenship-by-investment […]

In this article, we’ll explore the Saint Lucia citizenship by investment (CBI) program, including its […]
Update 2022 – Montenegro will terminate its Citizenship by Investment program as of December 31st, 2022. The country has extended the program’s termination from its initial set date of December 31st, 2021 to December 31st, 2022. One of the reasons for this is the underwhelming demand for the Montenegro CBI program. Another reason is the […]
What was once one of the cheapest citizenship-by-investment (CBI) programs in the Caribbean has recently seen an increase in minimum investment requirements. As of August 2024, if you want to gain Antigua and Barbuda citizenship by investment, you must invest a minimum of US$230,000, a large increase compared to the previous minimum of US$100,000. Antigua […]
Cyprus is one of Europe’s premier destinations for high-net-worth individuals seeking enhanced global mobility through investment. For a period, the country operated a citizenship-by-investment program, allowing relatively quick citizenship acquisition after making a substantial investment in the country. The program eventually closed, leaving potential investors seeking alternative pathways to obtain Cypriot legal status. In this […]
Dateline: Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia Getting a passport from your home country can be difficult enough with a criminal record; becoming a dual citizen and obtaining a second passport with a criminal record can seem downright impossible. The reason should be obvious: no country wants to naturalize or otherwise grant citizenship to a convicted criminal. Not […]
Dateline: Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia Governments around the world have increasingly been imposing restrictions on both citizenship and obtaining an actual passport to travel on. From Canada’s creation of “second class citizens” to President Trump’s denaturalization of US citizens to a wide range of countries’ imposition of new requirements to qualify for the mere right to […]
***News Alert*** *Readers should note that as of April 29, 2025, Malta’s MEIN program has been declared illegal by the EU’s highest court. The European Court of Justice (ECJ) has ruled that Malta’s MEIN (Malta Exceptional Investor) program violates European law, effectively terminating the program first introduced in 2013. The court concluded the MEIN program […]

In 2017, news broke that billionaire Peter Thiel had been granted New Zealand citizenship in 2011 after spending only twelve days in the country. News of Thiel’s citizenship caused a small outrage in New Zealand since skyrocketing prices in the housing market have been blamed on the influx of foreign investors. What’s worth noting, is […]
Last updated: November 5, 2020Dateline: Tbilisi, Georgia Now, before we talk about HOW, let me suggest that if you’re looking to move to Canada because the “wrong candidate” won the election 2020, you watch this first… Now that that’s covered, let’s dive in. On November 9th, 2016, Canadians woke up to find that disappointed Americans […]
At the tail end of 2017, I renounced my US citizenship. This is not a topic that I had planned to discuss. But I felt that you deserved to hear about a decision this big. As someone who has never been afraid to put my face out there in an industry full of “mystery men,” […]
Dateline: Bógota, Colombia Being a permanent resident of a country generally conveys many, if not all, of the benefits of citizenship, with the only exceptions being the right to vote and the right to carry a passport. These rights are only available to those who have earned the title of citizen. Yet, while naturalized citizens […]
Last updated March 5, 2021 Dateline: Belgrade, Serbia There’s something about Monaco that ensures that the Mediterranean always glistens along the shores of the small European city-state. Situated between the French and Italian Rivieras and surrounded by mountains and warm beaches, the stunning panorama never fails to inspire. The alluring scenery isn’t the only draw […]

If you’re becoming exhausted by the perpetual traveller lifestyle, it’s ideal. This strategy, which encourages you to pick a few of your favourite places and settle down, will generally involve securing a […]
Dateline: Belgrade, Serbia For those of us born with western, developed country passports, visa-free travel has never been much of an issue. That fact alone is why most US or western citizens would ask “why do you need a second passport?“, ignoring the options that having dual citizenship offers. Sure, getting a visa as a […]
Dateline: Hong Kong I want to talk about second passports and why — when it comes to evaluating which citizenship is best — I believe there’s a lack of information and a lack of depth in the information that’s out there. More specifically, I want to look at evaluating what a citizenship or a passport […]
Dateline: Ulaanbataar, Mongolia I woke up at 3AM this morning to get to the airport on time. In a place as remote as Mongolia, non-stop flights to most places are hard to come by, and the idea of spending 21 hours laying over in Beijing before getting to Hong Kong didn’t sound very appealing. Such […]
Dateline: Phnom Penh, Cambodia Like a lot of people who travel, I like to get a massage occasionally and you can find cheap places all across Southeast Asia where you can get treatment for as little as $10, $15, or $20. So, for years I’ve been dropping in on these places, but I’ve never experienced […]
Based on the latest census data of the United States, around 15.9 million people in America identify as being of Italian descent. Chances are you could have at least one ancestor that was Italian. But did you know that your Italian heritage could qualify you for Italian citizenship by descent and a passport? The Italian citizenship by […]
Dateline: Letterkenny, Ireland History has trends. One of the most obvious and major trends in the West since the attacks on September 11, 2001 is that governments are becoming more authoritarian. In London, there are cameras watching virtually everyone. In the US, police can stop you on any flimsy pretense, question you, and examine the […]
There is no doubt that getting a second passport is an essential step in designing your offshore strategy. Whether to secure your Plan B, increase investment opportunities, or improve visa-free travel options, a second passport is among the most important flags to plant. But not every second passport is made alike, and not every passport program is of equal […]
Even our founder, Andrew Henderson, while traveling with his US passport, has had some interesting experiences at airport security. On one particular incident, while flying through Switzerland on his way to Spain, after spending a lot of time in Eastern Europe, he was pulled out for questioning. Even citizens of an EU member country, like Romanians, […]
Last updated: July 21, 2017 Dateline: Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia I recently wrote about the world’s cheapest economic citizenship program (Full disclosure: I got a Comoros passport to test the process, and it has worked for me in Asia… and that’s about it.) While I usually don’t recommend pursuing a second passport in Africa in general, […]
There’s a reason why Buenos Aires is called the ‘Paris of South America’. Set foot in the city, and you will immediately feel enamoured by its whispering tales of old Europe wrapped in Latin fervour. From tango-filled streets to world-class art, the 15 million people living in Argentina’s capital enjoy one of the most unique […]
Getting a passport and dual citizenship in Mexico will make it easier for you to seize opportunities in the up-and-coming areas of the country.

This […]

Singapore has become one of the most attractive destinations for high and ultra-high-net-worth individuals to move to educate their children and store their wealth. However, moving to the city-state has become a lot more expensive, quadrupling in price. Ranking 30th on the Nomad Passport Index, a Singapore passport comes with excellent visa-free travel that rivals or […]
On our YouTube channel, the most commonly asked question by far is, “Where can I go to get a second passport quickly?” Quite a lot has changed since we started writing articles on this topic of the fastest countries in the world of second citizenship and just about everything else we talk about here at Nomad Capitalist. The targets are always moving. Today’s fastest citizenship may be tomorrow’s closed, or it may be dead […]
Last updated April 7, 2022 Dateline: Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia If you’re looking for safety and low tax rates, there aren’t that many countries in the Americas that offer you both. But don’t worry, there are still some, including Uruguay. Central and South America are often noted amongst the easiest countries to get a residence permit, […]
High-end marketing can be fascinating at times. Just look at Louis Vuitton, offering one of the most interesting branding tools today. The brand places giant old trunks in its stores to remind shoppers of its origins in the high-quality luggage business so many years ago. With the advent of cheap air travel and frequent flying, […]

As an adult, there are several routes you can take to obtain a second passport, including through investment, naturalisation or marriage.

For years, surveys such as the Human Development Report and other quality of life indices […]
Dateline: Singapore I recently read an article by Porter Stansberry on how to teach your children to be millionaires by age 40. At first glance, I asked myself “why should it take so long?”, especially when the value of the US dollars used as the measuring stick are declining, turning out more faux millionaires than […]
Like it or not, it’s often assumed that when someone from an emerging country marries a US person – or Westerner in general – part of the motivation is that they’re seeking better life opportunities. Now, it’s not our job to debate the merits of such assumptions, though it’s worth pointing out that we certainly […]
These days, more and more sovereign countries are offering citizenship by investment programs to those seeking a second passport. The process is simple: for example, you can invest a six-figure sum in one of a number of Caribbean nations, and you can become a bona fide citizen there in anywhere from three to twelve months. The long-running St. […]
Obtaining a second citizenship is an important step in internationalising your life which means no single country can control your freedom or your wealth.

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.

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 […]
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 To be honest, I didn’t even realize today was Columbus Day. I guess any excuse for lazy government workers to take a paid day off and celebrate – um, what exactly? – is reason enough to have yet another meaningless holiday. Yet it’s especially apropos that Columbus Day would happen to […]
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 […]
Reporting from: Phnom Penh, Cambodia It’s an open secret in many parts of the world that the leaders at the top, and their families, have offshore bank accounts to protect themselves against the currencies that they themselves are busy devaluing. It’s the very definition of tyranny: imposing one set of draconian, soul-sucking rules on your […]
