A passport is crucial to your freedom and global mobility, but what if your citizenship could be a liability? I recently read an interesting article on IMI Daily called “13 Ways Your Passport Could Ruin Your Life.” While I agree with many of the author’s points, I believe most of the real-world risks are misunderstood—and far more manageable—than people realize. 

In today’s episode, I expand on each of the 13 points, breaking them down one by one through the lens of my two decades of real-world offshore experience. I cover the good, the bad, and the misunderstood—and I’ll show you exactly how to easily avoid any potential pitfalls while building a solid offshore Plan-B.
