Everyone gets the so-called “travel bug” now and then, more often than not when seeing images of their friends' trips or just the wonderful cities and vistas other places have to offer. As is so often the case, there are a lot more dream destinations than there are time and resources to visit.
Someone asked “If you could move to any country right now for free and get instant citizenship, where would you move to and why?” and people gave their answers. A few focused on those hard-to-get citizenships while others just wanted a culinary upgrade. So get comfortable as you scroll through, upvote your favorites and be sure to share your thoughts below.

I really feel at home every time I’m in Poland. I’m trying to revive the memories of the language (from my grandparents). It’s a beautiful country with great food. I also really enjoyed Iceland.

Australia, I visited there and it’s a beautiful country and I have some close friends who live there. Sure I’ve heard discrimination is a thing but that isn’t anything new to me living in the US. Seems like it’s holding up better than the US at least for now. Either that or anywhere up North in Europe (Iceland, Sweden, etc.) only problem then is I have to learn a new language.

Our daughter and her family are moving to Ireland (her husband's company has a branch there and they don't want to lose him) so Ireland.

Switzerland. Because I’ve been struggling for the past year to learn German language, to even get a chance to enter the country and do the job I love. So a shortcut would be phenomenal.

Japan. It has a blend of culture tech and nature that fascinates me would love to experience it.
Beneficial_Metal6155:
I lived there for two years. It’s a beautiful, clean, and safe country. Unfortunately it’s extremely racist.

I have Dual Citizenship in Mexico. I was born in Texas. But My husband and I have already made a pact that when s**t really hits the fan, we’re heading down.

I’d probably go to Thailand for the inexpensive living.
matt71vh:
Me too, I've been twice, my son lives there. It is a really cool country, the food is also cheap but amazing, they have top ranked health care choices, people are so cool and so many choices for inexpensive housing. And Bangkok, and beaches, aand and and. Yeah, in a heartbeat.

Ireland.
No risk of being involved in WWIII, close to tons of excellent vacation destinations, cool all year round, beautiful, and easy to get back and forth to my family in the US. Plus, I can transfer my professional license more easily than most other countries, so that would make finding work easier.

I'm currently focusing my research on France b/c of culture, food, wine, beauty, tax structure, ability to buy property as a US expat.

UK, London specifically. Right now I am a Dutch expat living here, having citizenship would make live just a little easier (not much honestly). The free move to London is what would be the most appealing part.

Panama or Costa Rica. I already speak the language. Relatively the same flight time from Puerto Rico (where my family lives) than where I live now. And they have some of the most stable economies and political environments in South America.

Lol I’ve been asking myself this question a lot lately. If I had to choose, I’d probably be stuck between Switzerland and Portugal. Switzerland has everything you could want—insane quality of life, amazing healthcare, and education, plus the views are literally out of this world with all the mountains and lakes. Plus, it’s so easy to explore Europe from there. But then there’s Portugal, with its perfect weather, lower cost of living, and super chill, welcoming vibe. It feels like the kind of place where you can enjoy life at a slower pace, plus the history and culture are amazing to dive into. Honestly, I’m torn!

Luxembourg. I work in banking.

I go there a few times a year. Luxemburg is a wonderful little country. Love it.

I’ve got it quite good here in the Netherlands but if I had to choose I’d be hopping the border to Germany. Always like going there, been on holiday there in different parts of the country and everywhere was good.
