The primary motivations for having a secondary citizenship is reducing your exposure to political risks and giving yourself visa free access to more countries. For example, traveling with a Russian passport is more challenging now than it was before the invasion of Ukraine. Some countries limit issuing visas to Russian citizens. A Russian traveling with a non-Russian passport will have a less frustrating experience in some places.
Not an expert, just sharing some information I’ve seen around on the subject. Do your own research.
- ananiochita 4y agoI don't understand why this explanation is given to me. I don't need to do any research, I have dual citizenship, plus an EU passport. I am unfortunately an expert in needing a way to get out of "your country" if things in your own country are or become awful. And citizenship has nothing to do with moving to another country, again. People move to work, to study, to pursue a relationship, and they get a visa to do so, then residency, THEN if wanted or needed, shoot for citizenship. I was wondering if OP was not happy in Europe, then why not use that money to move elsewhere, I'd consider that an investment, if not a literal one. I wish I had had 50k in my twenties to do it.
- Smithalicious 4y agoDid you get the idea that I'm not happy in Europe? If you did, I'm not sure why, as I am quite happy here - I just don't feel comfortable having large amounts of money sitting around denominated in Euros, as the value of the Euro is rapidly depreciating.
- ananiochita 4y agoGot it, not happy with the currency at present, nothing to do with the place itself. Disregard my suggestion ! ( And thanks for clarifying. )
