If you're an American interested in global mobility or 2nd & 3rd citizenship, you'll wanna know what an apostille is, and how to get one in the U.S. #freedomofmovement #documentdependence #dualcitizenship https://www.malakoutilaw.com/how-to-get-an-apostille-in-the-united-states

Multiple citizenship is as much about protection from state, as it's about upgrading quality of life. #freedomofmovement #dualcitizenship

Reposting this article I wrote about these strange little things that behave like citizenship in SOME ways, but not in all. Only a few countries give them out. I call them "semi-citizenships." 👇 #freedomofmovement #multiplecitizenship #mobilitynostr https://www.malakoutilaw.com/semicitizenships

A close lawyer friend of mine recently told me about legal case work vs. case acquisition: “I’m trying to be the case finder, not the grinder or the minder” and I think that’s beautifully poetic. #lawlife #lawfirm

6 benefits of 2nd citizenship BESIDES visa-free travel: 1. Core residency rights 2. Satellite residency rights 3. Access to borderless zones (where applicable) 4. 2nd passport (the actual document) as canvas for visas 5. Springboarding benefits 6. Enhanced access to 2nd economy (by virtue of highest right of physical entry to seed and mind one’s investments) In terms of safety for family and future generations, having the highest right of entry in a 2nd country is probably the most underestimated benefit, IMO. (But it’s not underestimated by Ukrainians, Afghans, Syrians, Iraqis, Venezuelans, Salvadoreños, Iranians, European jews, Indian-Ugandans, Yemenis, Somalis, Rwandan Tutsis and millions more in the last 80 years alone) #dualcitizenship #freedomofmovement #citizenship #passports #mobilitynostr #grownostr

This is a big blow for citizenship by investment (“CBI”) in Dominica and I believe will be the first domino to start fall of visa free access to Europe of Caribbean CBIs. As I’ve written many times, visa-free access is just one of the benefits of second citizenship and shouldn’t be relied upon exclusively as a reason to get citizenship somewhere. #mobilitynostr #dualcitizenship #citizenshipbyinvestment #freedomofmovement #dominica

The Carlos Ghosn escape is four years old, but still ever fascinating (article linked below). Whether you think he's an international fugitive or just a victim of Japan's criminal justice system, the ongoing Carlos Ghosn affair presents a multifaceted #freedomofmovement case study for mobility and extradition advocates, alike. Cliffnotes: - Carlos Ghosn was a successful businessman, CEO of Nissan. - Ghosn was accused of financial crimes in Japan related to pay disclosure in 2018 and 2019. - While on house arrest, Ghosn, a triple citizen of France, Lebanon and Beirut, escaped Japan in December 2019. - He first escaped to Turkey to switch planes, then continued on to Beirut. - Ghosn has been living, apparently fairly openly in Beirut ever since, resisting extradition attempts from Japan and France. The escape was planned by a former green beret, Michael Taylor, who meticulously studied the Japanese border (by aviation) for vulnerabilities and executed the escape. Ghosn lives in Lebanon where he fairly regularly gives interviews to mainstream media and podcast hosts, alike. Media has reported that Ghosn has remained put because Lebanon doesn't extradite its own citizens (I haven't confirmed). A Few Useful, Important Issues Involved: 1. Where are dual and multiple citizens protected from extradition? 2. How & why has Lebanese govt held fast, under pressure from Japan and France to extradite Ghosn? 3. Where, if anywhere, can Ghosn safely travel internationally outside of Lebanon without being extradited to Japan or France? 4. Will Ghosn be effective at all in the long run in fighting his Japanese charges while being an international fugitive (from Japan's perspective)? I've listened to a number of Ghosn interviews - it's obvious he's sharp as a tack and extremely charismatic. He also appears to be well funded. #multiplecitizenship #carlosghosn #japan #Lebanon #France #Brazil

Most of my American clients looking for a 2nd citizenship want a lifestyle with: - 2 or 3 citizenships - 2 homes, at least one of which is in the U.S. They want to keep their U.S base and spend significant time in the U.S. (at least 4 months/year). They just want to add a 2nd citizenship, and possibly a home, of a country they like and that can serve as a #PlanB if necessary. This is the new mobility play of the upper-middle class remote working Americans. Renouncing U.S. citizenship is far from the minds of most of them. #freedomofmovement #dualcitizenship #americandualcitizenship #mobilitynostr

Any friction imposed on your ability enter your country of citizenship is a serious infringement on human freedom. The only acceptable leeway should be to verify a) who you are, and b) that you're a citizen. Hopefully there'll be a mobility amendment in the U.S. one day to codify this principle into a right and provide ample disincentivizing punishment for those who violate it. #freedomofmovement #mobilityamendment #USA #Australia #Canada

Multiple citizenship is the master key. The best parachute. The safety net. The refuge. The shelter. The springboard. The shield. The snowshoe. The flywheel. The greatest entrance and the exit in the world of nation states as sovereigns. #freedomofmovement
