    Durov – who has citizenship in France as well as Russia, the United Arab Emirates, and the Caribbean archipelago of St. Kitts and Nevis

    How can someone have four simultaneous citizenships?

    Is it money? Gotta be money.

      In Canada and New Zealand you can literally buy citizenship. You just need the funds. It’s a real and legitimate process.

        I wonder if anyone rich enough has decided on undertaking the quest to get and hold as many citizenships as possible.

        There’d probably be difficulty though getting simultaneous citizenships for North Korea / South Korea citizenship, Russia / Ukraine, or Republic of China / People’s Republic of China.

          The most i could find on the web was this lawyers non-named client, who has 8 citizenships (“octa-citizen” has passports from Canada, UK, Ireland, Belize, Grenada, Dominica, St. Kitts, and Cape Verde), after renouncing his original USA one (and he apparently did it to not pay taxes).

        In Australia you can buy permanent residency, which is then a pathway to citizenship.

      Oh hell yeah it’s money. It’s called economic citizenship and there are plenty of countries out there that are willing to let you buy in with ownership of properties and business.

      There are only a handful of countries out there that don’t allow dual citizenship.

      My kids are entitled to 5 citizenships. 2 from me and 3 from their mum.

      I only use Telegram for my Warhammer 40k group…Authorities seizing that will get them years of mindless chatter about the Emperor, memes and battle reports. Fuck they will pay us to leave Telegram
