There are many benefits to holding a second passport and second citizenship. It gives you the opportunity to live, work, and invest more freely and can also allow you to travel to more places without needing a tourist visa. You can also pass second citizenship down to your children. There are three main ways to go [...]
You know I’ve been bullish on Panama for years. Long-term, Panama will be one of the main global business hubs, competing with Singapore and Dubai… All in all, Panama is a country where you should consider “planting a flag.” Panama uses the U.S. dollar, so you won’t get any currency diversification, but for many people [...]
My family and I moved from the United States to Ireland many years ago for personal and business reasons. At the time, I hadn’t even considered the concept of obtaining a second citizenship. In fact, it wasn’t until after my son Jackson was born that the idea of a second citizenship crossed my mind. Jackson [...]
Recently, a reader wrote to me to ask whether she should buy property in Greece to qualify for residency under its golden visa program. She was considering the golden visa because she wanted more time in the Schengen Area than her U.S. passport allows (90 days in any 180-day period), but she had questions because [...]
Americans used to be the great movers of the world. Think of the pioneers who settled the West… traveling thousands of miles with nothing just to find a place where they could truly live free, far from the Old World governments that kept them down… looking for new opportunities on new lands because opportunities had [...]

There’s an old Chinese curse: “May you live in interesting times.” Such “interesting times” are fascinating to historians but they’re not much fun to experience first-hand…. They’re times of war, drought, plagues, and famine. It might also be a curse to live in an “interesting” country. The kinds of countries [...]
We live in uncertain times. Times of political turmoil, climate change, economic crisis, and war. Only the strongest nations shall survive… Or will they? The reality is not what it seems. The ability of a country to absorb shocks and survive is not always directly related to its wealth or military power. The Simon Letter [...]
Are you looking for a “way out”? With everything that’s going on in the world… war in the Middle East… war in Ukraine… seemingly endless political dysfunction in the United States… we could all be forgiven for wanting an escape. I’m not talking about a vacation… I’m talking about a “bolthole” where you feel safe. [...]
OK. I’ll do it. I don’t like to write here about every twist and turn in the U.S. news… I don’t usually even like to watch the U.S. news. But readers are always asking me for my thoughts on the latest things happening back home… And the viral hit “Rich Men North Of Richmond” has [...]
