Can you do a video on which countries performed the best in this crisis and thus present the best countries to have access to during the next pandemic? I think the virus is real but I also think the governance class are using this opportunity to prototype various governance models for a worse pandemic which I suspect we'll see within 10 years.
This. The USSA losing it's mind over the current scare annihilated my last minute ounce of interest I had left in keeping my passport: ease of access to Japan. I especially think we need to have running list of which (sub)governments barred people *from leaving* . That $(*4 simply cannot be tolerated.
Honestly, having a visa-free passport is important if it gives you access to Schengen, UK, and US. You save a ton of money and frustration which is definitely worth it in my book. I know because I hold an Indonesian passport and I can really feel the inequality down here.
Great video, glad to hear you were able to get to where you needed to be. Any advice for future reference on how to best monitor / find out what bans are going to be put in place before they are publicly announced as in the case of Australia, there was no warning it just happened. Australia initially banned people (both citizens and visitors) leaving then banned entry except to citizens. I know a few people who are dual citizens who normally live overseas who got trapped in Australia as since they were Australian Citizens they were banned from going home where their life is centered, so now they are stuck with a huge hotel bill and no clue when they'll be allowed to go home. Unless you hear about things being about to happen with about a weeks notice and can throw enough money together to get a last moment ticket, its sadly not possible to benefit from having multiple citizenships when regimes decide to be heavy handed (dare I say tyrannical?)...
Hmm, I wonder how hard the man can really come down on people for illegally *leaving* a country to one that they normally have access to. That would be an interesting social event to see play out.
I think a passport from a Mercosur would be a good back up to a EU passport eg Uruguay / Argentina etc. It would be interesting to know if it would be possible to get citizenship by paper residence (ie maybe only living a couple of months a year there) or by making some investment / hiring someone there to gain the required route to citizenship, while not living their permanently. Would this be feasible?
@@as-1982 That is interesting but would be of less value if you already have a passport from an EU country / Europe. Would be better to have a passport from outside in a relatively peaceful, secure country ie Uruguay etc.
I totally agree. What is the use of 2nd passport if it only gives you pass to 3rd or even 4th world countries where your privilege becomes disadvantage? It's by quality not quantity.
Do you think it is okay to travel with two passports on hand? And if so, what if they happen to search your bag and see multiple passports? Is it an issue ? I think in USA, one must only enter and leave on the USA passport, correct?
Always enter and leave any country with the same one you came in. lets say you have a us passport and an eu passport, you travel to europe starting in the usa. you leave the usa with your us passport, and when you arrive in the eu you enter with your eu passport, then you leave with your eu passport and when you get to the usa you enter with your us passport.. hope this helps
Juliet Williamson from a virus containment perspective I think that’s the right thing to do but sure, as a base case, as a citizen you should be able to travel freely but this is an emergency situation
Could make a video talking about the risk of the country going to war. Say, for instance, I have Turkish and German citizenship, wouldn't Germany be obliged to hand me to Turkey in case they go to war with a third, non-EU country? They are a NATO country after all. Doesn't this make it extremely unfavorable to own Turkish second citizenship?
You're laughing about Namibia and all but maybe because I'm younger I'm interested in exploring African markets and check out that part of the world some time. I think some countries have great potential
If you have to choose only one (1)☝️ citizenship & passport or top 6 let’s say from number 1 most important to number 6 least important / let’s say you’re stateless which citizenships & passports would you wanna get by anyway naturalization or investment it doesn’t matter which ones you would put the time & effort & money for
Brennan Carey There are many African countries that require you to either get vaccinated or show that you are vaccinated for a number of diseases when you apply for a visa to go there.
@Fareed Waseem That's a very Western perspective. The 2014 Ebola outbreak was just 6 years ago. Just because it didn't impact you doesn't mean it didn't do a lot of damage.
You can't work and make money everywhere just with passports of Canada, Australia or USA. If you have 40 passports at one time you will increase chances to make money and become rich where you have passports and right to work, and travel or having social pension in each country of citizenship (each government gonna pay to you) after 65 years old as well.
@@user-fo3hj2ep9n The Embassy officials from these first world countries are very subjective in the visa process. They are taught that the white and near white people are those with greater means and would pose less of a risk of running off than the black citizens, so if you are a white Jamaican and you go for a US, Canadian, UK, Aus or NZ visa, you stand a better chance of being approved because it is assumed that you are a person of means.
the protection of its citizens is the most important meaning of a passport

Very solid points made in this video and definitely a concept many people don't take into account.
Thank you, Viking!
I really enjoy you doing voices.
Great video! I have my US passport, a lot of Americans don’t. I’m currently in the Netherlands and glad since the outbreak is growing in the USA.
I hope you're enjoying the Dutch lifestyle. excellent idea to be there right now.
Thank you, alteredillusions100! Take care!
having a moroccan passport is so depressing
Fabulous content. Take care Andrew
Thank you, Amir!

Andrew, I heard Malaysia has stopped letting MM2H residency permit holders into Malaysia now even if they have their main residence there?
I can confirm this. No entry until MCO expires 4/14 (assuming it's not extended).
Is the bulgarian citizenship program still operating.?

You can live in Portugal just one week or two weeks in a year, I think, if you get a Golden Visa.

New Zealand said that citizens couldn't come in
If my first world country is in chaos , the world is also fucked. If it is a time of chaos the last thing I want to do is travel.
Good that those days have passed
All your Australian viewers know all about this.
We are not allowed out of our country at the time of writing.

I can imagine a future were you wont be allowed to travel to countries without the latest vaccine. Ie a “health passport”

You already need a WHO card. Some countries you can't enter without a yellow fever vaccination for instance.

Andrew, the only time that Visa Free Travel does not matter is when you are white. I am a Black Jamaican.
lerryperry huh I don’t get it
If you have money it doesn’t matter what race you are.
So a white Jamaican can travel better somehow? Doesn’t make sense, being white means nothing if you come from 2nd and 3rd world

Bull fucking shit. My wife is white from south america and has been denied a US visa several times.
