Country springboarding goes way behind just visa-free travel. There’s also residency springboarding and friendlier consulate springboarding. 👇 #freedomofmovement #dualcitizenship https://www.malakoutilaw.com/country-springboarding-for-freedom-of-movement

What countries do you think plebs are most interested in for a residency or citizenship?

If there’s a stamp, seal and fee, you should probably order three. #vitaldocuments #birthcertificate #marriagecertificate #divorcedecree #deathcertificate #personaldocumentarchive #globalmobility

Freedom of movement is the answer.

- Flag theory - Multiple citizenship - Springboarding - Paper residence - Semi-citizenship - Physical presence These are common terms used to describe different concepts in the world of global mobility. Here’s what they (and 27 others) mean. 👇 #dualcitizenship #freedomofmovement https://www.malakoutilaw.com/the-insider-lingo-of-dual-citizenship

As a global mobility lawyer, my focus is mobility with a U.S. nexus. This means: 1. Helping Americans pursue second or third citizenship or residency; and 2. Helping non-Americans pursue residency or citizenship in the U.S. So that’s what I mostly write about. #freedomofmovement #dualcitizenship

Is “owning” bitcoin custodied on an exchange like having nothing but a t-shirt on?

In the world of global mobility, “if you don’t have your docs, you can’t pack your socks.” Could you apply for a foreign visa or residency and leave your country in a hurry if needed? For most countries, no, not unless you have an original or certified copy of your vital documents. Plus…for most European and Latin-American countries, those vital documents also need to be apostilled (a higher level of authentication). If you don’t have your certified docs, you probably aren’t going anywhere. This applies whether we’re talking about citizenship by investment, citizenship by descent, digital nomad visas or even family-based permanent residency applications. Among clients who come to me, I estimate maybe only 15-25% or so have certified copies of their vital documents and nearly none of them have them apostilled. This is what I call a “document dependence” issue. Document dependence is being eligible, in theory, for a mobility asset but not having the documents needed to apply. When someone is in a hurry, this document dependence causes an enormous bottleneck that can delay them by months. Depending on why they need to leave, the bottleneck can be devastating. That’s why I suggest that all Plan B/prepper/self-sufficiency minded individuals assemble their personal document archive AHEAD OF TIME. When done right away, this can put one in a position to apply for a foreign visa, residency or citizenship right away. What should the personal document archive include? Ideally, 3 certified copies of your vital documents: - Your birth certificate - Your marriage certificate (if applicable) - Your divorce decree (if applicable) - Your childrens’ birth certificates Plus your important non-vital documents: - Your valid passport(s) - Your certificate of naturalization (if applicable) - Your valid state or national ID/driver license - Your valid social security card (if American) or equivalent Of the 3 certified copies of your vital documents, 1 of each should be apostilled. A background check is required for many countries to issue a visa, residency permit or citizenship but they usually have a limited period of validity (90 days and 6 months are common periods). It doesn’t make much sense to obtain a background check and apostille it ahead of time unless you are sure you want to leave soon. In that case, you can obtain recurring background checks every 3 months or so and send them for apostille so that at all times, one is either recently completed (with apostille, if necessary) or an apostille request is pending. In any case, get the certified documents, scan them, and put the originals in plastic sleeves inside a nice leather or faux leather binder (available on amazon for $30). Marvel at it as your proof of bureaucratic work. #freedomofmovement #dualcitizenship

Passport ≠ citizenship. The reason I say “passport ranking” lists are BS is that visa-free travel isn’t the measure of freedom of movement and residency. #mobilitymeme #freedomofmovement #passport #dualcitizenship

GM Plebs, smells like #freedomofmovement in the air

45. Why is second citizenship more powerful than second residency? That’s because citizenship provides the highest right of both entry, and residence in a country. It’s much harder for a citizen of a country to be deprived of a right to be in the country, than someone who has permanent residency. In many countries (including the USA), a permanent residency can be taken away for someone for many reasons, including criminal conviction, absence from the country, or other violations. Citizenship, in general, is much harder to take away from someone. #dualcitizenship #americandualcitizenship https://www.malakoutilaw.com/dualcitizenshipfaq

There must be some American plebs here with questions and curiosities about multiple citizenship and residency. 🙋‍♂️ Feel free to ask me anything. 👇 I’ll do my best to answer or point you in the right direction. #AMA #freedomofmovement #dualcitizenship

Which is the most likely new country to offer citizenship by INVESTMENT next? Armenia, IMO.
