In this video, we explain why the US passport is losing its power and what it means for American travelers. For eight years in a row, the Nomad Passport Index has been published, ranking passports based on factors like visa-free travel, taxation, personal freedom, and global perception. Shockingly, this year, the US passport has hit one of its lowest scores ever.

I agree 100% with this video. I'm Canadian but I grew up in the USA in Miami and did all my studies in the US. When my mother got sick with Cancer in Miami, she decided to go back to Canada for treatments because of socialized medicine. So I decided to go back to Canada to be with my Mom. But I still had to go back to the US to conduct my businesses. And each time I would cross the border the freaking US border administration would make my life soooo miserable that after being detained for 8 hours on several occasions and interrogated for hours for being a dual citizen and traveling back and forth and missing my flights and having to book last minutes flights again and having to stay in a hotel for an extra night and all these expenses that they forced me to incur and the waste of time they caused me and delays to my meetings and attending to my business, I've decided to burn it and forfeited my papers and citizenship. It's wasn't worth the trouble. These people have absolutely zero respect for the years of contribution I had given to their country. I have never set foot in the US ever again. Oh and moreover, because at the time I had forfeited my status, they banned me from entry into the US even if it was to catch a flight to go elsewhere in the world. So screw them. I hate the US . I'll never go back ever again.
I agree, but Canada has lost a lot of their shine. By Canada joining in the US wars, the extreme lockdowns, and the other fascist actions, Canadians are not as loved as before. Sad
@@ethanmurray2203 Hell yes, I totally concur with that. I left Canada as soon as I could in 2021 during COVID, and moved to Cape Town, South Africa. I love it here. Life is good.
Yes Canada was freezing bank accounts during Covid, that is downright scary. Once Trump is back in 2024 the USA will gain a lot of respect back.
Nah, trump is too selfish to win any outliers to the US.
The best he’s gonna do is improve the us for Americans, but that is all the us was ever for.
The US regularly harassed non citizens and secretly treats all visitors as illegal aliens.
I’ve been billed by bad businessmen that took advantage of my being Canadian to bill me out of over 35k and with nothing to show of it so like above I’ll likely never be returning to the USA. I’ve also had issues with them just trying to use my international right of transition within us airports.
Not only dual citizenship people but they even treat their own probably more worse. I went to Vancouver and had to go back to the states but the US immigration officials asked me some $tupid questions. For example, Why am I going to the US? I showed them my passport already 😂
I travel often, mostly international trips. I use Mexican and US passports. The Mexican passport has become the most hassle-free one to use. I've applied for a Panamanian one, too.
The Panamanian passport, citizenship apparently of difficult to obtain. There 5:43 are those who had residence there for up to 20 years, applied for it and still could not obtain it.
You honestly think people are gunning to live in mx? Stepping stone to the US
Most of the US government's unfortunate interactions with other nations, especially over the last 30-40 years, has been driven by a desire to defend the world reserve currency status of the dollar, all the while destroying it through irresponsible economic, social and political policies. There is no need for a world reserve currency. If you looked at nearly every American's balance sheet, you would realize that having the reserve currency has made them poorer, not richer.
Being a reserve currency is not from desire, but from having a desired currency because it is stable and freely traded. That is why the Chinese Yuan is not a reserve currency. It comes with many benefits and a few responsiblities.
Having it pegged is largely out of the us desire to remain economically advantaged, a status that will eventually be removed after India and Chinas manufacturing reaches parity.
@@albertwong4832the dollar hasn't been stable over 40 years... the military bases and petroddeals are why the dollar isn't free falling
@lks11 is it possible that the reason why we are going electric is because the US can no longer bully its petrodollar on a pedestal. Due to the education of simply being able to use alternative fuels like bio-diesel etc. It's no longer reasonable to have a dollar pegged to crude oil and be at the mercy of OPEC..... also wtf is crude oil. If we pump so much of the earth's blood and those pools are empty can't that cause a foundational collapse of the earth's surface..... it makes no sense geological...... so with that said the dollar is naturally meant to be depegged..... now historically speaking what's the next global reserve currency...... XRP, BTC, XDC...... if so how can the globe come to a consensus....... now we have to stress test these DLT currencies....... if we collapse the dollar we best have a stress tested new currency on a global scale. Because obviously the globe should be free to all humans. We don't want to close borders it's best we stay globally friendly. So we have to have a credible, quality new reserve currency to equalize all economies and each economy will be as strong as its working class and not its swindling class/ evil lazy slothy class.....
It’s making the developing countries richer and this is what happens when it back fires on them.Americans,Canadians and Europeans are moving to Asian and middle eastern countries bringing capital in.In the United States nobody isn’t coming with capital,there not coming with any talent nor skill of there own.There coming looking for everything meanwhile the resources in the United States are becoming limited and with people coming in not creating any opportunities in the country nor not bringing any capital,skill nor talent.I can only imagine how this will turn out.
As a 23 year old American, I'm grateful that I am of age where I can actually make use of this information and leave this country within a calendar year. It's a shame that those younger than me will be forced to stay here as the Titanic sinks. I've never perceived this country as being on the incline in my entire lifetime
You are on the right track. The U.S. is a Welfare State and Police State, and the Deep State is a massive beast that needs constant feeding.
Also, Western feminism and other forms of cultural Marxism have destroyed the culture and society. Feminism in particular has utterly destroyed the value of American women.
For me personally, the government destroyed my business and made me abandon my home. I feel like I would be treated a LOT better in a LOT of different countries.
And where do you think life is any better? Lower taxes for the rich don't make a country a good place to live. You are in for some major reality hitting you.
Oh, you poor, poor thing. Cry much? With some specific exceptions, America rocks. I'm loving it. But then, I've travelled to some pretty crappy places and have perspective. And I got an education, worked hard, and invested, so I retired early. America came out of the pandemic better than almost anyone, while China, Russia, and others are treading water still. Inflation sucks, but inflation was global, and in the U.S. it's come way down. In Argentina it's 276%; in Turkey, it's 75%; in the U.S. it's just over 3%; in China, they have had short periods of deflation, which is worse - and China lies about their stats anyway, so things are always worse than they say...same for Russia. Go ahead, move. No one is stopping you. You'll like it there for a while and then you'll start missing things; that's usually what happens. But maybe you'll be one of the lucky ones. Go for it. You only live once.
America is always home but it’s been a mess lately… Traveling overseas is a good idea and I hope you make it happen.! Don’t let anyone discourage you.
As a 59 year old, I tend to agree with your analysis. I don't like. I do miss the USA that I lived in as a child. I say FJB, and Trump 2024 (and I may move to Argentina all the same!)

It’s only hard to move to the USA legally.
Egypt got fed up with Canada and now charges 150.00 for a visa available only at the embassy in ottawa. Even egyptian citizens have to get a visa to visit their native land. It was done because Egyptians were being denied visitor visas to Canada..including grandparents etc coming to visit grandkids. No visa on arrival for Canadians in Cairo either.
Wow, you’ll see more of that in the future.

@@kwacou4279dont speak the truth
Sounds like it's easier to sneak into America and travel there legally.
It more than likely is.
The real reason is that once you’re on American soil, you have the same rights as US citizens….
It actually is, the interrogation of the custom offices is the worst in the US. They are so rude to the point that I expect to get scrutinized even when I have a transit. The probability of encountering rude officer who wants a power trip over passengers is too high in the US.

The way the us disrespects foreigners they shouldn’t be allowed to travel anywhere at all to be honest.
I miss the golden old days of 2019 when most of those who followed you and actively participated in the conversation were people who are actually nomad capitalists. Rather than the ones who question “How am I making money being Argentinian” 😂
I am in the process of getting Argentinian Passport, and I’ve been obtaining multiple other residencies and passports since 2021, and my income has been rising in the past few years with business, despite not living in the US anymore.
It’s funny how there are still people whose small 9-5 minds are so fixated to the job seeker mindset of “I can only make good money in America”, whose minds are so limited to the point to naively believe someone’s income is linked to their nationality only.
It’s 2024, lots of money is made on the internet, cross borders, etc. As long as the citizenship is not from a heavily sanctioned country, there’re plenty of ways to make money regardless of citizenship. These naysayers worrying about job prospects should just go watch their American centric doomer negative videos about how job market is too hard now.

Worse! America passport use to big welcome smile everywhere contrast now with suspicious expression or unpleasant face in many places. Occasionally with questions such as what's your nature of business into iur country or ...got to remind you no political activity while you're here or will be jail etc. 😭
exaclty now i travel with my mexican passport instead of my american one becasue im embarrased if my american one
@@amandaburleson2035 safer to travel with a Mexican passport. Mexicans are seen as very warm and welcoming. Just use the US passport for entering and exiting the US. Then put the US passport on the back burner.😂
BS. I've travelled overseas for 45 years. Everywhere I've been has been welcoming, still. Last year I drove through Mexico. It was great, except for all the machine guns and crooked cops. But Mexico is tired of so many Americans coming there and driving up housing costs with all their money. Americans are warm and welcoming too. You'd have to live somewhere really crappy to not find that. Pretty much people the world over are warm and welcoming. That's why it's such a joy to travel.
@@youtubeuserzzzzisn’t the Mexican passport seen as high risk because of visa overstaying?
Getting a USA B1/B2 visa is almost like a lottery, and you often get rejected for the same reason. They say you don't have enough ties to Brazil to qualify for this visa. For example, I work remotely for a tech software company in the USA and earn around $5,000 a month. However, since my wife and I are under 25 years old and didn't come from a wealthy family, we got rejected. Honestly, I have a secure job here, so how could they think we would immigrate illegally in such a scenario?
I still want to go to the USA, but having only five cities in Brazil where you can apply for a visa and going through all of this makes me feel like I'm begging and humiliating myself to get a USA visa. Next year, we'll try to go to Canada. If that doesn't work, I guess that's it. The USA embassy treats South American people like inferior human beings.
If none of this works, I'll travel to alternative countries, and they'll be the ones missing out on my money.
You work in Brazil for a U.S. company remotely (I assume they don't have an office in Brazil), and the U.S. government is saying that you have weak ties to Brazil? They are absolutely right 😂
Just go to Europe. More places to see than US and Canada anyway
Born and raised in Canada and still here unfortunately. Don't waste your time and money coming to Canada! The country has gone to shit!!!
I got news for you, it’s not just the embassy.
The us treats all foreigners as illegal aliens to discourage visitors.
Since most us exports are online now they don’t need to bring visitors into the us to take advantage of other countries money so they don’t want to let anyone in.
Let’s be honest trade with the us is basically throwing your money away
The issue is that Brazilians overstay their visas in the USA at a massive rate. The rate is too high (by law) for the country to join the Visa Waiver Program and, therefore, for Brazilians to get visa free travel. So, if there's anyone to blame, it's your fellow Brazilians.
If you land at LAX from an International flight. When you go through US Customs. Their will be up to 6 long lines of people only holding American Passports. You will probably be one of the few that speaks English.
Of course, it's an international flight. Do you understand what international means? Please google it.
So what, you don't make the rules up for this country. This country was founded on immigrants - that's the American spirit. It's not a Whites only, English speaking country. You're not qualified at all to make the rules. You probably couldn't even pass an engineering course to save your life.
That's because America is a nation of immigrants. And that is necessary now because Americans are not having enough children to support a growing economy. That is the dirty little secret to why government never fixes immigration. They know we need many immigrants, and illegals work for less, which is what political donors in certain industries want. The government also likes them because they commit fewer crimes per capita than U.S. citizens, pay more in taxes than they get in benefits, and can be sent home if they are a problem and are caught. Plus, there's the ethic of "send me your huddled masses". It's partly a moral thing.
Facts
Sad.
Andrew thanks for educative content
This is very useful, thank you.
Not just the passport, everything about America is worst
Totally AGREE!👍👍
Nah, the jobs are the highest paying in the world. Plus we have freedom.
The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence. Until it's not.
Not American, but if America really was the worst at EVERYTHING, it wouldn’t have the highest level of both legal and illegal immigration in the world. I feel like this opinion is coming out of a place of privilege, if you lived in some of the places these immigrants are coming from you’d think the US is the best country ever.
@kayflip2233 this ignorant comment shows how clueless you are about what's really going on. The US sucks for real
The one thing I like about the US passport is that there is a reciprocal visa program between Russia and the USA (yes it's still in effect) whereas citizens of both countries can get a 3 year mulitple entry tourist visa into each other's country.
Not anymore.
We have all witnessed western countries were easily dominating when other countries weren’t competitive at the time.But as other countries become more competitive the western countries fold.The other thing I want everyone to realize is this is what makes Asia and middle eastern countries different,even if you aren’t wealthy and aren’t a high net worth individual yet,as long as you are skilled and talented they are willing to work with you because you are already heading in the right direction.But western countries they won’t,with the United States,Canada,Australia,Germany,u.k and etc you either have to be wealthy already or needy which means needing the government for government jobs,government assistance,government food stamps,government aid.And this is why western countries are severely declining everything is either on the far extreme left or right.There is no middle nor in between and without that you don’t have any balance.

Hey ive been watching your channel for some time now and i highly respect your knowledge on the worldwide stage, ive been to many countries as a us citizen including living in dubai last year for 6 months with my residency and living in bangkok for 1 month, only thing i disagree is the value you place on the US , everyone hates us policies and tax rules including me who owns multiple businesses which is why i setup shop in the dubai freezone but one thing i must note is that the USD is more valuable and secure for any of us expats! What people fail to understand is that its easy to bash the us while living in a cheaper country like Thailand or Malaysia while gettiny paid in USD but lets see how much you like those countries if all ofnyour income is was paid to you in that local currency. Thats when you will realize the vakuebof the US and mostly the USD, i hate the US policies but i realize i live very comfortable in asia with the security of all of my income coming in USD. i would never trade that for there local currency! This is the point that needs to be stated. The true making money in USD but living in a country like malaysia or thailand off of the USD
100% Well said!!! 👍👍👍😄
I have been saying this in several posts. It's easy to bash America while they enjoy a good quality of life with American $. I bet life would be very different if they were living like the locals.

I understand why you rant the US excessively from the perspectives of a nomad capitalist. The US definitely has a handful of chronically pervasive issues regarding the economy and passport index but it isn't as ostensibly shabby as depicted. It is obviously better off to have mutiple citizenships but I reckon the US passport might be just prestigious enough to visit most countries on earth.
Agent.
To visit, sure. To do business, not so much. Your government has a habit of sanctioning all manner of people, countries, entities, banks, companies - this jurisdictions applies to US persons, meaning that you personally cannot deal with parties under sanction which cuts you off from business. A clear example is the BDS movement against Israel. By law, an American person cannot deal with anyone of any company who even personally expresses support for BDS even if they don't actually do a boycott. Think about what that means for company liability if they have an American dealing with foreign business partners in countries that are generally anti-zionist. You' re just not going to get some positions, because of your nationality being such a massive risk.
Fr. US is likely top 10. Top 20 for sure
I’m glad other countries have implemented this policy especially to USA.. The self-entitlement of the USA needs to stop & it’s about time other countries tell the US: You don’t own the world!
That’s why I love sailing check in and out quickly
What if a country scrubs your social media and see you have been talking shit about them and reject entrance into the country.... Just because of some offensive jokes. The world is moving more towards the social credit scores... This could become inevitable
The Citzenship map also needs updates.
USA should be more open to educated people, that's what they aren't doing.
I knew about ETIAS coming through. I will handle that as an American.
NOTE: the places I travel to beyond the Americas often require a visa. They are India, Cambodia, and Vietnam. I have a standing visa in my US passport for India and for Vietnam.
For India I have an OCI visa.
For Vietnam I have a visa waiver because I am married to a Viet Kieu. My wife enters and leaves Vietnam on her USA passport (not her Vietnam one). She also has a stamp in her USA passport to do it. She gets hassled as a Viet Kieu if she shows her Vietnam passport to the officer. They want a bribe if she shows her Vietnam passport. The USA passport is a deterrent.
So, for things like E-Visa I have done it as an American. I have gotten physical visas as an American. Typical stuff.
I knew about Cuba for foreigners. That is why foreigners get a new passport and keep their mouth shut about Cuba for USA.
This is why my friends get a new passport after returning from Israel. They get a new passport to go to other Persian Gulf countries.
Tell me something that I don't know!
India OCI visa sounds nice
Every country can cancel PASSPORT/VISA they issued. Upon passenger arrival and they dont need to explain.

@@nomadcapitalist thanks I appreciate the response!
According to a list made by… another company.
Brazil operates its visa policy based on diplomacy. It's VERY difficult for Brazilians to even VISIT the U.S., why should Brazil allow American tourists to easily visit Brazil?
I'm Brazilian and 2 years ago some of my family members applied for a tourist visa because they wanted to vacation at DisneyWorld in Florida. They paid a non-refundable amount of 300 US$ (very expensive to Brazilian standards), showed proof that they're not planning to overstay their visa and spent hours in line at the consulate just to be denied entry and be treated badly by the staff.
You’re absolutely right and most of the people with passports to travel do not pay attention to Geo politics will have a rude awakening when they can’t travel to certain countries. Especially TH-camrs who make travel videos for a living.
personally, I strongly support that based on the principle of reciprocity, American citizens should also apply for visas to visit Malaysia.
The health system in America is crazy expensive. Getting an appointment takes months. I was thinking, by the time it’s our turn, we might have dead if we didn’t look for alternative treatments like the Oriental herbs , acupuncture and the like. Besides, Dental and vision treatments are way way much more reasonable, and affordable in Malaysia. The funds we had to pay after deductible out of our own money we can book a round trip flight ticket from the USA to Malaysia for special health medical , dental, or vision treatments and yet take a short vacation than treating in the America even with health care insurance. BTW, the quality of health care in Malaysia is
excellent. I was told that many expats had made special medical treatment trips to Malaysia.
Question, I'm in the United States born and raised. What if i want to move to the UK? Is it going to be harder?
Where can we find the full list of passport rankings?
I'd be interested to see how these countries would change during a conflict of global super powers. Maybe a secondary list of countries who are capable of remaining relatively quarantined from global economic disruptions (yes pun intended) have a lower dependence on foreign trade for their commodities and aren't likely going to be stuck in the crossfire of a global conflict.

I am thinking about doing a bicycle tour around the world one day. I am amarican .. do u think it's getting more difficult to travel by bicycle?
Hello, for the Hong Kong passport, you are wrong, dual citizenship is allowed (but in case of naturalisation you first need to redeem everything):
Only valid for HK (Chinese)
Chinese nationals of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region with right of abode in foreign countries may, for the purpose of travelling to other countries and territories, use the relevant documents issued by the foreign governments. However, they will not be entitled to consular protection in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region and other parts of the People’s Republic of China on account of their holding the above mentioned documents.
I agree, the u.s is unreasonably the hardest place to move in & live. I greatly welcome reciprocity from other countries as no one nation has monopoly of been high-handed. A taste of their own medicine would be very proper & long overdue.
You were so smart to be able to see so far in advance how shitty the US is. The country has gone downhill and I doubt it will ever come back.
The reserve currency at this point should be BITCOIN
I want a Japanese, Costa Rican, Panamanian, Jamaican, Malaysian and Mexican Visa/PP.
Hey anyone having idea on residence in Montserrat via bank deposit of 150 k USD.?
We do, yes.
Most Americans don't have passports and never travel outside their own Country :/
Most people in the entire world are like that, so what’s your point?
@@onemanwanders
👍 it’s true😁
Many people really “cares” with USA :))
US citizen traveled to and from Europe and African Countries my inlaws live in Africa do not have all the "awful" and "nightmare" experiences mentioned in various comments.
Meh. As a Filipino immigrant and now US Citizen, my US passport is still way preferable over my Philippine passport.
You have to be squeaky clean, which is ironic considering the local corruption
Look at my bank account, looks like a Mexico vacation this year instead
What is the best country to retire in if funds are okay? Healthcare, friendly people, climate and good nature
I'd say Japan but of course it's very hard to move there
Try Thailand
If you have the money, the USA has 4 seasons. You can move to different states. The people who complained about the USA can also choose to leave and go to another country, but most people do not have the money.
I retired to Thailand in 2017. If you are over 50 years old it is easy to stay long term if you meet the financial requirements.
Andrew is an advocate of Malaysia.. Been there once as a tourist, so I have no idea about the daily life. But according to Andrew, Malaysia is the best in terms of living conditions. Safety, Tax Policy, Business Policy & Healthcare.
No, never! Was not born as American but will die as American....
I had an amazing international career after my service in the military & I have my beautiful Passport on my coffee table. It makes everyone so angry. Jealousy is a moufkkr.
Ask Abbott Bus Lines IFin they can run you across the border? And when you come back into the US, tell the border patrol you just got here, call 'USCIS Texas Service Center', and ask to talk to a 'creditor'. And then, Abbott Bus Lines will take you anywhere you want to go. I mean Texans are paying for it, the influx of imported labor doesn't benefit most of US at all, lesson you consider more debt being a benefit.
I'm curious as to how these regulations affect those who fly private.
I just got my Philippine passport through descent. It's much more useful than I thought it would be, despite being low ranking. There's no beef with anyone except China, so you can access a surprising amount of countries, some even easier than the US.
Congratulations.
@@nomadcapitalist Thank you! Your channel has been so influential for me.
I was wondering what would happen if I naturalized in a country that rquires giving up US citizenship. Would I have to give up the PH citizenship, also?
I doubt that
@@valuetraveler2026 I did, too!
One thing I didn't consider is how easy it is going to other ASEAN nations. If the Philippines stays US friendly and doesn't go BRICS, it still gives me very easy access to Thailand and Malaysia who will join BRICS. If I can open a business making money through BRICS currency, then fantastic.
Maybe there will banks in ASEAN that don't cooperate with the IRS after BRICS is established. I should be able to keep money away from the IRS. The FATCA act is evil.
The American passport is a certificate of ownership. If you hold one, it means you're owned by U.S.A. corporation.
I used to travel to Ethiopia 🇪🇹 a lot now days it’s getting harder what the heck are we doing to USA 🇺🇸
While I agree with many of the things Andrew presents, he is not being fair regarding the requirements for Brazil and other countries (i.e. Romania). The reason the USA imposes requirements for many countries is because people who come from certain countries tend to overstay their visas and become illegal immigrants.
With regards to Tick Tok, this is in many sense protecting our election and free trade. Just look at the EU's tarriffs on EVs from China. It is OK to make a point, but be fair.
100% Correct !!! 👍
If the US was worried about illegal immigration, they'd have just shut down the border where MILLIONS are flooding in through illegally. Aside from that, this is not the 90s, Romania has become wealthier, also Romanians can go to the EU to find jobs, no need to deal with the nonsense of US immigration or visa processes. They can take a quick flight a few thousand miles and work in other parts of Europe in wealthier countries. Also, Romania has advanced quite a bit and are becoming wealthier. Inform yourself.
Last time I visited the US they asked me when completing the ESTA form if I was a Nazi LOL.
Keep making God Smile ❤ quality advice from the all mighty
Ok great but why am I impacted as a CDN? You don't address that.
I hope to have my Colombian PP in the near future. I hate being a slave to the US through citizenship. And getting caught up in the geopoliticking that I have nothing to do with.
As the US becomes more and more like China, I want less and less to do with it. Having to report my international bank accounts to the US when I have not even lived in the US for over 10 years?
As an Indian, I want a US passport.
Any passport is better than Indian
If all of these countries were better than America 🇺🇸 people will be running there.
Every country has issues.
No country is better.
All of my friends came back to America.
I visit due to familial ties but I’ve successfully lived outside of the US for almost 5 years and I have no intention of ever moving back there full time.
We’ve covered this ad nauseum: th-cam.com/video/D262SSGk5IM/w-d-xo.htmlsi=k1YsR_LEhTqT0AsU
Mexico is beginning to deport people from the US, about 5000 so far.
@@nomadcapitalist Thank you.
@@del-see-oh America is my home, that's all I know.
I love The United States despite the past.
I just canceled my trip to Jamaica and the Bahamas bc of that missing woman from Chicago.
I would love to visit Barcelona, Italy, Greece, Egypt but fear they don't care for Black People, I heard stories.
That's okay but it doesn't seem like a good time to travel unless your family is there, that's sad bc I love to travel.
I love different people and nationalities.
I cook food from around the World. Speak seven languages, not fluently but I can get by.
I think I might be okay in Bangkok Thailand.
Japan and Hong Kong as well seem okay.
I'm learning how to cook Thai Cuisine.
To me, the best food 😋 on the Planet, next to Japan. 🌎
God Bless 💜
If Brazil wants to play these games then they're only hurting their own tourism industry. They're already a tough place to travel to by virtue of the fact that nobody there speaks English. In any case, the benefit of US (or EU) passport is pretty obvious - just go to Heathrow and look at the relative length of the lines. A US passport saves you at least an hour. Plus you don't get jerked around and rejected. The main reason all countries put up these restrictions is illegal immigration and Americans are pretty low risk for that.
There are actually plenty of entitled or clueless Americans overstaying visas from Mexico to the Philippines for years, but yes it is a small percentage.
You don’t mean net net - you just mean net - that’s what net means.
What about Polish passports
I'm married to a Brazilian, and glad that I'll be able to visit visa-free with my other passport. My lucky kids have 3 passports.
N. 1 passports are Germany, France, Italy and Spain, first position. You never say but we have visa free access to China, which I recently used, and everything was smooth indeed. China is the new power and having a toe there makes your passport stronger. Also we're allowed to live in 27 countries and Switzerland can't.
