      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 always feel like I'm being judged as a complete moron when going over passport control yet anyone on European passport go through the automated gates, not seeing anyone. Honestly, there's a reason why the US is called "the biggest third world country in the world"... The moment I step my foot on the Chicago O'Hare airport I feel like i went back in time at least 30 years.

Some banks do more investigation about our income because they think we are doing some illegal stuff lol. After those entry controls, they don't care about your life.

    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 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 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!

      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?

    • @jesselloyd207
      @jesselloyd207 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +7

      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).

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'm trying to get a Russian passport. Paired with a US passport it's a powerful combo.

    I love having a Mexican passport, it’s so well balanced, neutral and great acceptation almost everywhere

    When you give up your passport what happens when you leave USA what does the next country do with you ? I'm afraid of USA I tried Mexico asylum went back to use can I get rid of my passport and go back to my homeland in Italy without getting jailed by USA since I was illegally framed by police I'm afraid I want to leave but Im afraid to get blocked by USA because I don't trust USA
