The U.S. state department does not officially track the number of people who expatriate each year. However, according to Gallup, the number of people emigrating from the U.S. or wanting to leave has increased in recent years. Many of these individuals seek either lineage citizenship, a golden visa, or second passports, all of which may be options depending on the person's particular needs and circumstances.
David Lesperance, attorney and managing director at Lesperance and Associates, says taking a thorough and honest look at your lifestyle, budget, and needs is essential before you can determine the best course of action for your future.
"Looking at solutions before you determine your needs guarantees failure," David Lesperance lawyer said.
Some questions he suggests asking before you research dual citizenship or citizenship renunciation options include:
Are there only two adults in your family? Any children?
If you plan to work, how do you plan to find a job? Or, if you own your own business, does your initial and on-going success depend upon your being physically close to your clients? How would your business translate to the culture and economy of your new location?
Is the activity in which you work regulated (e.g. law, accounting, etc.)? If yes, does licensing require you to be a resident in a particular jurisdiction?
Given your professional requirements and your personal preferences, which countries or parts of the world would you be happy to live in and what is the cost of living in them?
What would be your "burn rate" for living expenses including the cost of living calculated in #4)? What after-tax dollars would you need to maintain this lifestyle?
Are there any conditions or pre-conditions which would exclude you from acquiring health insurance in your destination of choice?
If you have children, what are their education and other special needs?
Once you've answered these questions, David Lesperance lawyer said you should speak with a qualified and experienced immigration attorney .... not a second passport salesman...to determine your best course of action.
