RE: Do YOU have an escape plan?? 2nd Passport...
Thanks! MUCH appreciated! MOST OF ALL, I appreciate you reading my post. Normally, I try not to go too long on blog posts, but this subject demanded a little length.
Followed you.
So, would having a second citizenship mean you have to pay taxes into Chilean SSecurity, for example?
What about income taxes?
Some people would say just holding a passport is good enough; and then going to a second country, usually allows passage to any country in the world from the US.
I would want to consider at some point; is it better to have 2 passports, or pay taxes to 2 countries?
I'ts better to just have the passport as back up. I'ts a last resort type of deal. If america was ever bad enough to leave in the first place, renouncing citizenship in the U.S. would be ur next step. So, worrying about 2 sets of taxes wouldn't really be on the plate.
You're correct. The way it works, for me at least, is...i leave america on my U.S. passport and when i arrive in Chile i check in as a chilean citizen using my Chilean passport. At that point i can then travel freely to many different countries not as a U.S. citizen, but as a chilean.
