So, is this where Trump got the idea of the $5 Million Gold US citizenship card for rich immigrants to buy??? I’m just asking, because he surely didn’t pull that out of thin air…
That’s existed in several countries until recently, I’m thinking of Portugal as well. There’s always a tipping point with it and to me, it feels like the ability to buy a passport fits with some of the overall philosophy that has driven the hyper wealthy for the past 20 years or so. The only reasonable recourse is to have legal limitations on it, unless you also want to turn your country into a place to launder money.
I was not aware of this golden passport. It might sound easy (and cheesy) but as a convinced European, I am delighted of this decision.
Living in a country that exited the EU 5 years ago, I witness every day the gap between a country standing alone (even if I really like the UK) and a country part of something bigger based not only on economic rationale but also on strong cultural values.
My European passport is one of my most precious assets and is clearly part of my identity.

Hey Julien... do you have the Decree itself on this one? I've been trying to track it down for Borderless Living.
