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. […]
As I sat in the Panama City departure lounge last Saturday, I watched as the female security agent’s hands ran briefly over the breasts of a 30-something traveler, making sure that the traveler had no weapon in her bra.

Last week I read a couple of reports in the press saying that grocery store shelves here in Panama are empty. These reports got my attention, as, since I’ve returned to Panama from Istanbul a couple of weeks ago, I’ve been to different grocery shops maybe four or five times…and I haven’t noticed any empty […]
Years ago, a friend in Belize told me that a country never escapes its origins. The United States, he said, is a land of puritans. Belize is a land of pirates. And Istanbul is a land of traders. Once the end of the 4,000-mile-long Silk Road, the mother of all trade routes, this part of […]
Why do so many people, especially so many of my fellow Americans, have such a negative reaction to the idea of living, investing, or even traveling to so many places around the world? Last week a reader emailed us in response to an essay on Ecuador we published to support the launch of our Live […]
The super-rich have a growing number of options for obtaining second passports through economic citizenship. These programs are most attractive to the wealthy from countries whose passports don’t allow for much visa-free travel—Russia, China, and the countries of the Middle East, for example. Spending anywhere from US$100,000 to more than US$2 million depending on the […]
