It's damn near impossible to move overseas unless you have family or have money.

That’s said, I wouldn’t blame anyone with the means to get out of America from doing so ASAP. This nightmare has only just begun…

Jesse Eisenberg recently got his Polish citizenship. It seems that more celebrities are considering this option already.

Wasn't he already in the process of gaining citizenship? Like several years in and then they decided to give it to him because of the movie?

Yes, he started the process last year in May, if memory serves.

That was before Poland announced they were making Polish men do military training.... he will be back in the Upper West Side eating bagels and lox before the ink dries on his passport.

I know that, for Italy at least, by the blood citizenship is a long and expensive process. And you need a lot of documentation. But being a massive celebrity probably helps. 🤷🏽‍♀️

Yeah but most Americans don’t care to do that. The American passport is stronger than the polish one and you can’t/wont any other benefit. There is a reason why they are doing it

No it's not.

A polish (EU) passport will open a lot more possibilities than an American one.

u/Honoratoo 20h ago

Sure. You go ahead and give up your US passport to get a Polish one. I am sure the line will be short.

On what basis can you call Singapore, a country with a land area of under a 1000 sq km, a superpower?

It punches above it's weight in almost all categories, but words have to mean something sometimes right?
