---- quote start

Eligibility criteria are broadened, allowing “philanthropists” and “technologists” to be eligible along with individuals deemed to have made an exceptional contribution or service in fields including sports, science, art, culture and entrepreneurship, and “job creation” is explicitly included as an example of “exceptional contribution.”

Notably, the proposed amendments would also give the minister responsible greater leeway in deciding who can be granted citizenship by merit.

They are going the Serbia route. The EU will target citizenship by exception next, as‌ soon as they figure out how widespread it is.

much more difficult to do for the bureaucrats bc theyd need move their golden *** to‍ figure it out and cant just browse hendersons channel on yt.

 

[HardRJones]

You underestimate the motivation of greedy politicians to get their hands on your‍ money. They’ll crack down on citizenship by exception as soon as they realize that high⁠ earners are now using it instead of CBI.

 

[JackAlabama]

nope as theres no⁠ individual motivation to do so. out of sight out of mind.
