    What are some residency options leading to citizenship and second passports?

    UK keeps track of how many days people spend in/out of the UK using the travel data. I know people who applied for UK citizenship and had been abroad too many days and were challenged on the number of days. It's obvious that Ireland will have access to this data too. So entry exit checks and...

    What are some residency options leading to citizenship and second passports?

    I think Ireland and the UK share a common travel area and both look after the border control for that area. So when you leave Northern Ireland or the UK for another 3rd country, they will record you as leaving the UK (and thus the common travel area). So Ireland probably has access to that data...

    How to Get another Citizenship? Easiest way?

    In the U.K. waiting for your naturalisation took easily 3-6 months before Covid. There may be some exceptions but most people I know waited for ~4 months. 30-45 days was the wait for the actual passport AFTER you waited for the naturalisation

    How to Get another Citizenship? Easiest way?

    Although they aren't all low tax places you can consider these. I would suggest to actually move there and pay tax there, otherwise it won't work: - Switzerland: as EU citizen with a company you should have no problem moving there. I think wait it 10 years so it's rather long - Bulgaria: as a...

    Is Grenada citizenship a full real citizenship?

    If you become naturalised, and then you have kids later, I think you need to pay a few thousand k$ for those kids to get the citizenship as well. While if you are born to citizens by descent that is not the case. So that's one difference.

    Get EU Citizenship without actually living there?

    From my experience the bottleneck is always the processing time once you are eligible. So if you want some bureaucrat to approve your application eventually, it would be better to do it by the book. If they see you pay very little taxes, and somehow realise you are hardly there, not sure this...

    Get EU Citizenship without actually living there?

    Just google the residency requirements for naturalization. Pick the ones with the lowest number of years”¦ You will have to live there, pay taxes, learn the language.

    Get EU Citizenship without actually living there?

    I think the only legitimate way in your case would be the Portuguese Golden Visa route. The benefit of the golden visa is that you do not need to fulfil the typical physical presence requirements. (To be save let's say to spent ~80% of the year there for 5 years, plus the years they process...

    Tax implications of obtaining German, Italian or Portuguese citizenship

    It's not related to taxes - but if you have a non-EU citizenship, Germany in most cases will ask you to renounce that citizenship when you become German. So be careful about that. They are planning to amend this law but they haven't yet. The other two are fine with you keeping your original...

    SERBIA CITIZENSHIP AFTER ONE YEAR TEMPORARY RESIDENCY - DRAFT LAW?

    Unlike because of EU pressure. Serbians have visa free entry to the EU and I doubt EU will continue to allow visa free entry and accept one year residency leading to Serbian citizenship.

    Setting up business in countries which lead to citizenship

    This just doesn't exist. Any serious country with any useful citizenship will only give such citizenship to legitimate residents who spend on average 80%+ of their time in that country. In addition they would be expected to pay taxes, usually on local salary income for all those years. Any...

    Getting into the EU long-term (from AU/UK)

    Remember it's not just five years. It's also the processing which is +- two years at the moment.

    US Expats: Citizenship/Tax in Canada, NZ, or Ireland?

    How important is citizenship ? You would really need to spend a lot of time physically there if it's important. Ireland: five years, then consecutively 365 days just before applying and then two years + processing. Canada: the quickest with three years, and then another two years processing...

    Getting into the EU long-term (from AU/UK)

    You could move to the Republic of Ireland. U.K. citizens can just move there without any immigration permission.
