The Second Passport /Second Citizenship thread now.
Hiya guys, so here we are.
The aim of this thread is to show you options, to bring to your awareness one of the ways (there are many), the super rich, rich and upper milldle class fo your country use to keep themselves and...
their families safe in times of great political turmoil, economic devastation, and war.
Let me ask you this: if a war breaks out (God forbid) will you and your loved ones be able to get out quickly, alive and safely?
Ruminate over that before you answer. Think over it. Slowly.
You know how whenever elections draw near, many well-to-do parents, take their families and travel out of the country?
Why do you think they do that?
Because no one wants to be running around with children/loved ones, and then get caught up in this contraption we call country.
What they do is what I am going to show you tonight - how they prepare themselves, the tools they use, options available for you and how to get started today.
I am going to show you how to obtain a second citizenship from another country or at the very least a residence visa.
Now a few points before I get into the meat of today's topic.
1. Famous folk you know in tour country - politicians, businessmen, civil servants - we can list names and we wont finish by the end of another week, they all have either second passports of residencies.
Why not you?
2. It is perfectly legal to have a second passport or residency, even a 3rd and a 4th one.
The more you have the better. It can't be too much.
I am on track to get a third soon. No I won't mention the country.
The point is, it is a great thing to have in your life.
3. Second passports are not cheap. You'll either pay huge cash (if you're in a hurry and have more money than time). Or you pay with some cash (not too much) if you have more time than money.
4. I am not asking you to get a second passport or residency so you can run away...
If you want to move away permanently, I cant blame you, this country can frustrate you if you don't have the mental strength to make it work. In that case, sure move permanently.
I ask you rather to get it as a "Plan B" option, so you can quickly get out of this place if...
you need to.
I believe there's still a lot that can happen here, but I am not stupid to trust the class of politicians we've head since independence, and especially since 1999. My second passports and residencies are so I can easily enter a plane and leave or cross the border...
if I need to.
No I won't fight a war to keep Nigeria "one". No be me appoint Lord Lugard.
Speaking of Lord Lugard, may that man and his babe abi na wife sef, rot in hell.
He put us in this mess.
Lol.
Alright, now that we have those out of the way, let's get down to bidness.
So there are three kinds of residencies I have I'll discuss today.
I don't want this thread to be too long so I'll be brief but explanatory.
1. Economic Citizenships via (Golden Passport)
2. Permanent Residencies
3. Citizenships by Birth
I won't discuss every country who...
have these programs, just those who still allow your country Nigeria participate, because gosh, una wahala too much.
I will also discuss fees and procedure.
Cool? Before nko? Alright let's start.
1. Economic Citizenships
This is for people who have more money than time. You?
They are expensive. Depending on the country (those that accept Nigerians), it'll cost anywhere from €3,000,000 to as little as $150,000.
Cyprus: €3,000,000 (€2.5 million of this invested in real estate), others go towards fees & costs)
Duration: In 3 months you'll have a...
Chassis brand new Cyprus passport.
The application is straight forward and have a high approval rate. Yiu don't even have to live in Cyprus permanently.
Visa free travel to 158 countries + USA.
It's expensive because it instantly gives you an EU citizenship too. No Brexit.
A Cyprus passport also gives you multiple visa free entry to a Canada for 6 months, and 3 months for Singapore, Australia, Hong Kong, and Macau.
2. Antigua and Barbuda
Cost: $100, 000 (single) and ($175,000) for a family of 5.
Visa free travel to 150 countries including UK...
, EU Schengen zone, Honk Kong and Switzerland.
3. Dominica
Fees: $100,000 or ($200,000 for a family of 4)
Or just buy a Govt-approved real estate worth $200,000 but you can't resell it for 3 years.
Children up to 30 years/dependent parents over 55 years old can be included.
4. St. Lucia
Fees: $100,000 for a single applicant or $165,000 for a couple and $190,000 for a family of 4.
Visa free to 150 countries.
Okay, that's it for the economic citizenships that gives you an almost instant Passport.
Nownindont know about you, but start saving that...
100k$ now haha.
2. Permanent Residencie
These are not passport, just permanent Residencies. You still need to use your regular Nigerian passport to travel with them.
They're the next best things and cheaper but you just have an invisible antennae to sense trouble so you can...
leave before it starts.
I'll stay with the most expensive.
i. Portugal
C Ronaldo' country. It requires a €500,000 Euro investment in approved Real Estate. Its an EU country too. Sweet.
Spain has a similar program but issue is you will pay taxes on the real estate each...
year.
ii. Cyprus.
These people sabi business sha.
Fees: $300,000 investment in approved Real Estate. Best way is to register a company, out tour and your wife as owners and apply with it, so you both benefit for one price. See my Igbo Man sense? 👌🏾
Granted within 2 months...
and covers the whole family, dependent children up to 25 years old plus parents of both spouses.
It is valid for life and can be inherited by your children and their children too.
EU visa free travel, but you all must visit Cyprus once every two years for it to remain valid.
iii. Ireland.
This you do by showing the Irish Govt you have an "innovative idea for a High Potential Start up" with access to funding of €50,000 for the first shareholder, and €30,000 for each additional shareholder.
It covers you and your immediate family and dependents.
Are these options out of your reach? You want to give up because the money is plenty?
The idea of this thread is so you can plan and say, "Okay,I have this info. I give myself the next 4 years to make it happen?).
But have I finished? Not by a long mile.
Next we'll discuss...
3. Citizenship By Birth.
This is the cheapest and most popular way to get citizenship.
Most parents do it for their kids. In fact, most want their kids born in the USA.
Many mothers fail to get the visa for many reasons.
Well, what if I told you there is another way to...
make your child a citizen of the USA without traveling to the USA.
And what if I told you there's a country far better than the USA to have your child in, so if you're refused a USA visa, then simply apply to that country too.
You want to know how?
Let's dig in, Fam.
How to Have Your Kids Get an American Passport Without Going to the USA.
Many people dont know this but the USA controls and protects a number of tiny, vacation spot countries in Asia/Oceania region.
They are called Permanent Territories of the USA. To travel there you still...
have to apply for a US visa St a US Embassy but this time, you are applying to go to US territory.
Visa rules for those places are easier, and you can jsyt say you're going to vacation, them go born your pikin jeje.
Once your child is born in any of those (except one), they..
get automatic USA citizenship.
Which places are these?
Puerto Rico
US Virgin Islands (in the Caribbean)
Guam
Northern Marian Islands
There's another place called American Samoa. A child born there doesn't get automatic US citizenship but they American Samoan citizenship...
gives them visa free travel to the USA and opportunity to naturalize later.
Other countries who allow citizenship by birth include:
Canada (you can try applying to go give birth there too. It's a great country)
Chile (they also have a residency and citizenship option, I...
forgot to mention earlier). Chile gives a citizen visa free travel to 148 countries.
Panama. If your child is born in Panama, the parents can apply to become citizens too after 3 years of residency.
Barbados. @rihanna's country. The child can apply for special privileges and...
access in the United Kingdom.
Europe. All countries in the EU except Cyprus. Those ones want everybody to pay money 😂😂😂.
The UK does but the child jsyt live in the UK consecutively for 10 years.
South Korea. Born your child there. It's a great passport. Visa free to 160...
countries.
Now, let's talk about the Best Citizenship by Birth Program. In Tbe World (And its not the USA)
It's... drumroll....
BRAZIL!
Yes Brazil is the cheapest and best place to have your child today.
It's safe, and your child gets visa free travel to 158 countries...
including thrle EU, Russia, Asia, Australia, Canada, minus USA sha, but that's easy.
Once you have your child there, you can apply for and be granted immediate permanent Residencies as the parents, and you the parents can get your own Passports in kne year!
Wow!
There are...
two more ways to get a Brazilian passport but the thread has gone on too long.
There's an option to adopt a Brazilian kid from an orphanage,but you must prove s/he will have stable home.
Or you can marry a Brazilian.
Now of course, you should know there is more to learn...
if you really want to explore the Brazil and other options, I have written a report titled, "Second Passport Report: The Best (And Cheapest) Ways To Get A Second Passport From Another Country"
It breaks everything down and tells you what documents are required. It also gives...
"Second Passport Report: The Best (And Cheapest) Ways To Get A Second Passport From Another Country" gives you links to websites, contacts of Immigration lawyers, because there are many scammers.
1. Make sure you input a Dollar Card from a bank (not Barter, and not Naira)
2. Set up a generic ad FIRST. Make sure it's tamer than sheep.
3. Do not be silly and use a landing page that says, "How to Make a Gazzilion Naira in 2 Seconds".
4. Make sure your landing pages has links to an "About Us", "Terms and Conditions" and "Disclaimer" pages.
These should not be dummy pages. They should ACTUALLY have the content as labelled.
5. Set up a generic ad FIRST. Make sure it's tamer than sheep.
Yeah it bears repeating
6. If your account is banned anyway, appeal. And send supporting documents - screenshots of your address, a utility bill, business registration documents, etc.
You want to make the best case you can. You don;t have a registered business? Why? LOL!
So a few minutes ago, @theskinpriest responded to my tweet saying a 33-year-old dating an 18-year-old was predatory.
I responded off the cuff saying I don't believe it is. But it made me think.
I know a lot of this may be genuine but we have to admit, despite an 18-year-old...
being an adult, do they really have the emotional maturity to navigate sexual relationships with someone who is quite older & who obviously has garnered a lot of experience along the way by virtue of age?
I remember a friend of mine (lived abroad at the time, Dad was a diplomat)
who told me she ran away from home to be with her then 30-year old boyfriend, who married her and then subsequently proceeded to batter her emotionally and physically over the next 15 years until she managed to divorce him.
We cannot deny the dynamics for this age range are...
I want to say something to Ndiigbo, my brothers, and sisters.
You may not have noticed (o maybe you have, you're not blind and you have sense) but but a section of our people have cultivated a reputation for being frankly a pain in the ass, and it's not a good look.
It's not.
No one wants to deal with perpetually angry people, not for business, not for leisure, and especially not for political affiliation.
Its not just become silly, it's become detrimental to our collective goal.
We are known for being perceptive, for good neighbourliness and for...
being proactive, but I must say that what's happened here the last few months is not it at all - it's always fights with tribes we should be working and forging an alliance with or worse, in-fighting amongst ourselves.
I used to think it was mainly orchestrated by IPOBians but..
There is a place for hope + faith and there is a case for facing reality and dealing with issues as they present.
That Paul Adefarasin is a PAstor who should preach hope doesnt mean he cannot tell you to prepare for stark realities.
Anyone saying otherwise is just plain stupid.
Some jews in 1944 Europe saw the handwriting on the wall, changed their monies into Gold, and emigrated to the USA. Some dismissed the warnings and stayed back.
The very following year Hitler invaded and hauled millions off to the gas chamber.
So today, I am going to quickly talk about 4 or 5 countries where you can get residence visas.
Why residence visas?
For starters, they are cheaper, FAR CHEAPER than passports, and offer almost all the benefits, not not, but a large swathe of them.
Second, residencies can be...
a pathway to citizenship.
In one or two of the countries I will talk about tonight, if you renew your residencies long enough, and fulfill all requirements, according to their law, which differs from country to country, you become eligible to apply for full citizenship.
