They're afraid of instability so they go to Greece?!

Greece has actually had a remarkable turnaround. Nothing like it had been five or so years ago.

catloaf ,

A rapid change, you say?

If you have a Greek passport you can live anywhere in the eu right?

Yup, the same works for passports from other countries like Malta and Cyprus which iirc literally just sell citizenship.

God forbid the rich have to live in the world they made.

Ironic given they all bankrolled and fought for what is creating said instability...

The top destinations for supplemental passports among Americans are Portugal, Malta, Greece and Italy, according to Henley & Partners.

Duly noted.

As I've said for a while, anyone with more than two brain cells and the means, is leaving the USA or planning to leave quickly right at the edge of disaster.

Causing the house fires by supporting republicans then fleeing when it gets too hot.

The instability they funded politically so they could get more tax breaks, profits and suppress labor.

They got theirs. Set the place on fire while they run off to wherever like Ted Cruz when things get a little uncomfortable.

Oh then we can do like India and switch out the currency after they abscond with a large percentage of it.

The 1% are an unsustainable disease/parasite that feeds upon its host until dead then spreads to another place to infect.

Worried about the increasing instability that they fucking created with their sociopathic levels of wealth seeking.

"Persons holding a US passport may apply for their residence permit at the local immigration office (Ausländerbehörde) after arrival in Germany and without having obtained a visa prior to travelling to Germany. Please note that you need to register your new residence (Anmeldung) with the authorities (Meldebehörde) within 2 weeks of having moved to Germany. You also need to apply for your residence permit at the local immigration office (Ausländerbehörde) within the first 90 days of your stay in Germany. (...)
We strongly recommend contacting the local immigration office as soon as possible after your arrival in Germany in order to secure a timely appointment.

Please note that you may only take up employment once you have been issued a residence permit explicitly authorizing such employment. You may also choose to apply for a visa prior to travel, effectively permitting employment from the first day of visa validity"

Basically you just have to find a company that will sponsor you? I work in IT. Where can I start looking? I've been to Berlin and loved it.

Just say the country you're arriving from is run by global terrorists who are destabilising the world in pursuit of money, you'd probably get asylum 😂

There's no downside if you can do it and extreme wealth is only a requirement if some of the many offers don't apply to you. Spain was basically giving away citizenship a few years back. Bulgaria is pretty open.

These are all lame countries anyways, now I would love to have a Denmark or Sweden passport or something but last I looked it was pretty hard (For us lowly plebs anyways...)

I've lived in the US for quite a few decades, but I'm still a German citizen. When asked why I don't take US citizenship, I give a three-part answer:

  1. I don't believe you can owe allegiance to two different entities at the same time.
  2. Between a German EU passport and a US Green Card, I can travel almost anywhere in the world.
  3. I f I ever run into legal troubles, first call is to the wife, second goes to the embassy.

There is a downside to US Citizenship for some though, as one of the only countries on earth yo demand you pay taxes on income earned outside the country
