Traveling to and through the United States are among my least favorite things thanks to ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement). Don’t get me wrong, I still enjoy spending time in the States. It’s the coming and the going that I dread. They run propaganda videos while you’re standing in line telling you about the process […]
It’s a sign of our times. Some people I spoke with had already invested in obtaining second citizenships and were asking my thoughts on what to do with their second passports. They understood that having two passports was a good idea but weren’t quite sure how to take advantage of the assets now that they’d […]
My team and I are doing our best this week in Orlando to help the 400+ in attendance figure out where, exactly, they might best think about reinventing their lives overseas… “Kathleen, I’m thinking about Ecuador and Nicaragua… specifically, Cuenca and Granada. Here’s what I want… “Well, first, here’s what I don’t want. I don’t […]
I’m traveling in the United States this week. The visit is reminding me that, in fact, this is one of the easiest places in the world to live and spend time.

In fact, living overseas, you can have no health insurance whatsoever if you like. Who wouldn’t want health insurance? Friends have gone without health […]
When we were living in Ireland, that country still offered jus solis (right of the soil) citizenship. It was the last Western European country to do so. If you were born in Ireland, you were automatically a citizen. That’s how our son Jackson got his Irish citizenship… by being born on the island. One perk […]
If you invested in a St. Kitts’ passport, you need to send it back. Quick. St. Kitts’ economic citizenship program is under fire. Canada has removed the country from its visa-free travel list. St. Kittitians who want to travel to Canada now have to apply for a tourist visa requiring a security check. Canada’s change […]
Years ago we got an email from a reader in response to a report from Latin America Correspondent Lee Harrison on Ecuador. The reader wrote to ask where in Central America Ecuador was located. He’d been looking but couldn’t find it on a map. Ecuador, as I’m sure you realize, is not in
Two colleagues have had children in the past year outside the United States. In each case, the child has one American parent and one non-American parent. Both children have the citizenship of the country where they were born, the home country of the non-American parent in each case, and both children are eligible for U.S. […]
