I've wondered about becoming a 'citizen of the world': what is the combination of passports that grants citizenship to the most nations? For example, this immigration attorney cites a client who held 8 concurrent citizenships[1]: Cape Verde (through economic citizenship) Belize (though economic citizenship) Dominica (through economic citizenship) Grenada (through economic citizenship) Saint Kitts and Nevis (through economic citizenship) Ireland (island) (through lineage) Canada (through naturalization) The United Kingdom (through naturalization in a British Overseas Territory) [1] https://www.quora.com/What-is-the-greatest-number-of-citizenships-ever-held-by-one-person https://www.quora.com/What-is-the-greatest-number-of-citizen...

To me this represents more of a risk than a benefit. If you enter on a Venezuelan passport and that government decides it wants something from you, the host country might be obligated to hand you over regardless of your interesting variety of passports.

  You could always get help from the embassies of your other passports' countries.

    most embassies are unable to help if you are in the country of your other citizenship. e.g. i won't get "help" from the UK if I'm in trouble in NZ (UK/NZ national)

  He probably used it as a shorthand for "Republic of", to distinguish it from Northern Ireland.

    Northen Irish passport is the UK one mentioned later :) As an Irish passport holder (human) I found it funny.
