The rich are getting second passports, citing risk of instability

Wealthy U.S. families are increasingly applying for second citizenships and national residences as a way to hedge their financial risk, according to a leading law firm.

The wealthy are building these “passport portfolios” — collections of second, and even third or fourth, citizenships — in case they need to flee their home country. Henley & Partners, a law firm that specializes in high-net-worth citizenships, said Americans now outnumber every other nationality when it comes to securing alternative residences or added citizenships.

Recent high-profile examples of second citizenships include billionaire tech investor Peter Thiel, who added a citizenship in New Zealand, and former Google CEO Eric Schmidt, who applied for citizenship in Cyprus.

Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all…do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

That's what I need, a second citizenship. I wonder if Liechtenstein or Nauru is accepting applications.  :pondering:

My pick would be Iceland, New Zealand, Australia.  Europe will be majority Islamic in another generation.

If Russia was not going back to an authoritarian police state it would have been a great country to emigrate too. It could have been a great country.

New Zealand and Australia went WAY off the rails over COVID. Not long ago I would have agreed with you, but not now.

If I could afford it; either Slovenia, Denmark, New Zeland,  or Switzerland

Note that the U.S. isn't on the list.

A couple of my wife's relatives are looking into getting Romanian or Croation citizenship ... a little too close to Ukraine and Russia for my taste ... plus, all those E.U. countries are devolving into 3rd World $h!th0le countries.

If I get a second citizenship, it would probably be Uraguay or Namibia.
