If I wanted a Tier A Passport other than the US passport I currently have, then I would suck it up and move to Chile for five or six years, or perhaps Mexico as an A- passport with Canada, and New Zealand access, but that is because I'm not a seven figure business person or likely to become one in the next five years. If I were a seven or eight figure person, I would be working on either Singapore or South Korea as a route to a Tier A Passport. If I wanted to take the risks that you and I both see associated with a European passport, I would be looking into the various digital nomad passports in the EU nations as a potential path towards EU citizenship, or the UK entrepreneur visa, as a lower income individual. If I had a fair sum of money Portugal's golden visa is the only viable looking option.

If Sweden changed their rules to eliminate the exceptions from when they didn't allow dual citizenship which meant you had to register as Swedish at a time when you couldn't do that, then my 100% maternal lineage to Sweden would allow me to be Swedish by descent, but because my grandmother was born in the USA and my mother and because in the 1940s my grandmother couldn't file a piece of paper to become Swedish, my mother isn't Swedish, and so neither of us can become Swedish, despite being in my mother's case, 100% Swedish by descent, and in my case 50%.

@guilhermesalesferreiradaco2934 I know, on paper, but I'm pointing out the fact that in reality it isn't always the case, as with Bulgaria and Australia. As Andrew has pointed out in past videos, on paper Turkey has visa free access to Serbia. When you get to Serbian customs with a Turkish passport as a practical matter the hassles may not jibe with that status. The real world application of the on paper law isn't always respected. Knowing that going into something is beneficial. I mean on paper after five years of permanent residence you can apply to become Panamanian. 10 years later you are unlikely to actually be granted Panamanian citizenship.

@Brent J. Cooper The only reason I even remotely care about a tier a passport is the increased ease of access through ESTA to return to the US for my mother's funeral hopefully decades from now. Also aside from Turkey most of the CBI countries require a visa for Japan & not needing one would I think be beneficial since I am fairly certain I want to end up in Asia. Improved access to Australia -which Chile doesn't afford, would be nice, and New Zealand which it does would be less useful, but nice to have. The other reason Chile looks good as I said is improved access to Asia. Except for Brunei, Chile has very good visa free access to the ASEAN countries. Being able to spend a month in Bali, a month in Cebu, a month in Koh Samui, and a month in Da Nang without needing a visa for any of the countries for those places would be useful if you don't want to do residencies. The other thing lacking from most CBI passports visa free access to the UAE. As my long term strategy will likely include a UAE free zone company easy access to the UAE without necessarily having a residency there would be useful.

Bulgaria also gets you Visa free travel to Australia allegedly except that it doesn't because Aussie's turn it down 80% of the time for an eVisa.

@marinangelov I tried reading it, but I have no idea who he is addressing, and I feel dumber for having tried to read it.

Physical Removal Citizenship rules and residency requirements are different things.
