Well its CNBC, so its just buzzfeed-clickbait that isnt grounded in reality. Anyway, since we are here, where should I get a passport too?

I think if you have grandparent or great grandparent that was a citizen of some EU countries you can apply for citizenship

      Also Ireland, Greece, Italy, Poland, Czech Republic as well (I think) it’s not guaranteed and the details may mater (was it you grand father or stand mother, were they born there, etc)

You don't get "bank account in Cyprus" ads while surfing? (I'm pretty sure this is submarine advertising for Henley)

> Anyway, since we are here, where should I get a passport too? A lot of it has to do with your personal background. I know one friend going through the process of obtaining German citizenship which is available to her due to her ancestors fleeing Nazi Germany. There's a subreddit dedicated to obtaining German citizenship here: https://old.reddit.com/r/GermanCitizenship/ https://old.reddit.com/r/GermanCitizenship/ Also know someone who obtained Irish citizenship due to their background, there's a subreddit for that too: https://old.reddit.com/r/IrishCitizenship/ https://old.reddit.com/r/IrishCitizenship/

That article, basically, is an ad of an agency which helps with second passports.

It depends on your goals. The strongest passport for visa free travel is Mexico. The strongest passport if you're concerned about being jailed with no due process is the US. Bear in mind, the US taxes it's citizens on every dollar they make anywhere in the world, barring tax reciprocity agreements with specific countries, so there's no legal way around that, and a lot of countries will report your bank account to the US if you open one as an american citizen. With that said, if your goal is tax shelter stuff, there are plenty of passports in the Caribbean, Latin America and Mediterranean that can give you some benefit, that don't require too much. Some of them the investment cost is half a million, some of them it's a hundred thousand, for most of them it's an investment requirement, you're not purchasing citizenship, you get to keep the real estate or business you buy with the money. I believe the Dominican republic outright sells passports for 100k.
