In the year 1253, probably the most valuable item on Earth was known to the Mongol empire as the gerege—though to the rest of the world, it was more commonly called a paiza. Taking the form of a rectangular tablet inscribed with flowing Mongolian script, a paiza was sometimes made of precious materials like bronze, gold, or silver. However, it was often more modest in design, being fashioned of wood or brass. But whatever its physical make, a paiza’s value came from its symbolic worth as a tool of bureaucracy and status, marking it as a must-have object for the elite.
Thank you! I loved this one. I'm Venezuelan and I'm about to get the Argentinean citizenship. I never thought my Venezuelan citizenship would give me so much trouble and I never thought of having to go through the process of acquiring a different nationality. I'm glad I read this post, it helped me get the bigger picture.
THANK YOU FOR THE INFORMATIVE SEGMENT ON CLAIMING ONE'S ANCESTRAL EUROPEAN ANCESTRY PASSPORT RIGHTS. BEING STUCK IN THE MURDER AND RAPE CAPITAL OF THE WORLD , SOUTH AFRICA MY MOTHER'S PARTNER COULD REALLY USE THIS RIGHT ABOUT NOW. (YES IT IS PEOPLE, AS THEY HAVEN'T GONE THROUGH A WAR AND ITS STILL HIGHER THAN VIRTUALLY EVERY OTHER PLACE ON EARTH OUTSIDE OF SWEDEN (FOR RAPE NOW!),
Thanks for your new history-lesson; and my advance-congrats for your 4th. passport !!!
How about the following story ?
In the year 2006 my only passport was seized by North African authorities. Local big-wigs who previously embezzled my whole property forged a letter addressed to the embassy, resulting in rejection of any assistance or request for return as well as refusal to issue a new one unless I signed a declaration that I am accused in the local courts for security reasons ... Y I K E S !!!
The letter is part of a still pending court-case that most probably will not be dealt with during my lifetime.
So what?
Life goes on with a low carbon footprint.
Passports issued by national authorities will be completely obsolete very soon.
Only digital IDs or health-passports, issued by any globalist approved authority and showing that you're fully vaxxed and triple boosted will be the only valid future global travel-document ...
Hi guys, "due to Uncle Sam forcing his citizens to pay tax on their worldwide income forever." Does that mean people with a Green Card must pay taxes on their worldwide income forever too?
As a U.S. Green Card holder, yes: you are generally expected to report your worldwide income to the United States and submit a tax return there, even if you're not residing there. An unfortunate side effect of having this connection, though it expires as soon as you give up a green card.
This is not accurate. Once your Green Card or “resident alien” status expires, you are no longer obligated to file tax returns forever. It doesn’t make sense if you leave the US and have no “status” anymore. Once you lose your resident benefits, you lose the obligations.
I speak from personal experience. Arriving to the US on a student visa, then work visa, then green card holder, and eventually US citizenship. All over the course of 12 years.
Yes, once it expires. Though even if you're a green card holder, and living outside the US, it does apply. So providing you are a green card holder, you must pay tax on worldwide income to the United States.
The inaccuracy was the “for ever” in your initial statement "due to Uncle Sam forcing his citizens to pay tax on their worldwide income forever." quoted by the reader asking the question.
Correct, it does. But what I'm saying is that while you have one, you are liable for taxes on your worldwide income. So my initial comment of you being taxed on your worldwide income while you're a green card holder is correct.
The chilean passport is quite good too, but I don't know how hard is to get citizenship. It seems 5 years residency is enough. Got the chilean one by birthright but the italian one I got by ancestry is definitively more valuable.
But what is not mentioned as part of owning one of the most powerful passports in the world is that most countries have an agreement or treatise with the US that there is no dual tax. So you cannot be taxed twice. Stating you will be “taxed forever” is misleading. As an American you only pay the tax for the country you are earning in. Not to mention that your income in a foreign country does not even register until you’ve earned over 112,000.00 a year in that country and that many Americans have their businesses set up in places like Delaware that have ZERO income tax!
There are many ways to file to ensure you are not double taxed and there are states you can setup your LLC with no income tax.
If you’re in any way inclined to do business smartly you can avoid a lot of taxes.
I will be honest. I really like your articles but this makes me think that maybe because you cannot get a US passport you decided to smear it with a very loose statement about being taxed forever by Uncle Sam. It’s not correct. Far from it. I am an American born resident of the The Netherlands. I enjoy no double taxation whatsoever and I would never give up my US passport. There’s no need to do that in order to pay less tax.
Anyway, don’t disparage an entire nation with loose ‘facts’ that are inherently fear-mongering.

Green Card status only lasts a limited number of years

G'day! I can't register myself, masterworks form is unable to let me through when trying to input phone number, nothing happens. Any idea why?
