Some countries are starting to move in the opposite direction though. Spain are getting rid of their golden visa
reply
Pressure from EU & other informal immigration, creates political pressure.
And more countries are going in the opposite direction (getting stricter with requirements) because of increased demand & inability to process so many people. Supply & demand.

Just renewed mine, might as well look into a 2nd.

I own 2 passports, but they're not that geographically or politically diversified.
The Nomad Capitalist YouTube channel recommends getting a second passport in a country that's not aligned without your first. For example, if your first passport is from a Western country, for your second one you may want to get one from somewhere like Georgia, Singapore or Colombia.
Some European countries outside of the EU, like Serbia and Montenegro, are also highly valued, as the location gives you easy access to all of Europe, but shields you from its leftism / statism, and stupid laws are not enforced so strongly there even if present.

I stopped watching the Nomad’s videos, he got on my nerves

Regardless of insecurity having a second one is just a pretty logical move if you can afford it or have the connections to qualify! Just like in BTC decentralization is fantastic!

Of course they are. And buying all the land. It's about to get crazy folks. I'm going to be close to the Mexican border, just in case.

Wait until they realize what it takes to bring their wealth with them

I suppose they have been preparing for a while, I don't think this discontent can be contained much longer, something big is going to come

This has always been the case. If I remember correctly, the Japanese passport is the strongest? Its impossible for people to get it though, unless you are japanese.

Impossible to import left wing voters in Japan

LOL. Oh really? Do they have a test? I'm not familiar with Japanese politics. Are you telling me it isn't progressive?
reply
It’s almost impossible to become a Japanese citizen unless you are married to someone Japanese.
The only case I know was a basketball player at ucla in 1995. J R Henderson
To comply with Japanese naturalization requirements, Sakuragi taught himself to read, speak and write Japanese at a "rudimentary level". He intended to stay in Japan without intention of returning to live in the U.S.

This is what I've heard as well. But if you are a "liberal" you could marry your way in.
It is an island. Its funny how immigration policies are so divisive. Its almost like monopoly control leads to bad outcomes.

Its a smaller place, though. I would suppose easier to run.

That’s the problem in Haiti 🇭🇹
The place is too big

Smaller place, cannot accommodate a million immigrants
reply
On the other hand Japan doesn’t have to deal with immigrants and refugees like USA and Germany
reply
They still have to deal with immigrants, they are just more korean and chinese. I believe most of them can get visas, but not stay too long. Someone that is Japanese might know better.
reply
I mean immigrants who want to reside permanently not tourists or temporary stays
