      that sounds like you’re talking about permanent immigration.

      another easy way to permanently immigrate is to move a place on a tourist or digital nomad visa, and then stay there legally or otherwise until you’re allowed to apply for citizenship.

      spain and portugal require about $40,000 a year for their digital nomad visas.

      The thing is, it’s even easier to move without changing citizenship and you can still stick it to the US government.

      if you don’t change citizenship, and you live outside of the US 11 months out of the year, you don’t have to pay taxes on earned income. so you’re not supporting the current administration.

      The cheapest golden visa is $75,000 for the whole family in the Philippines, btw, not 500k.

      I still wouldn’t pay that.

      I travel full time, you can easily get 3 to 6 month visas in a bunch of countries, Visa-Free travel in the others, live permanently abroad, legally avoid US taxes and enjoy a much lower cost of living in countries that aren’t tearing themselves and their constitution apart.

      Curious, what country did you go to

      I lived in many countries. The one I went to when I left the US was the UK. But it was in Europe back then. I would never move there now.

      Because AFIAK, there only a few ways

      You missed mine 🙂 I had dual citizenship. I simply gave one up. I had to pay the extortion racket but other than that, that’s all I had to do.

      Also, if you’re trans or not male or female (some people are born with extra X and Y chromosomes, which flies in the face of the administration’s idiotic male / female classification), you’ve basically become a non-person in the US. As such, I’m fairly sure you could make a convincing case for asylum in many European countries.

      Marrying someone means nothing. They’re taking people with green cards who are married to Americans and are making them disappear.

          There are European countries that don’t allow you to have dual citizenship.

          Most European countries also don’t give citizenship to people marrying someone from their country. For example, in Germany you have to live there for 3 years, pass a German citizenship test and pass a B1 language test. In the UK it’s pretty much the same, but the citizenship test is virtually impossible and the entire process costs a bloody fortune. And you don’t get your money back if you get rejected.

      My parents have a small bussiness here, and like, we can’t just thanos snap and move everything.

      Remember that many jews said the same thing in Germany before the war, until they realized it really was time to get out of Dodge and they couldn’t.
