To be faiiiiirrrrr who the fuck maintains a list of “powerful passports” and if that’s a job can I apply?
Henley & Partners. Who - in a totally unrelated matter of course - netted almost 56 million euros off of scummy people like Russian oligarchs by helping them get Maltese 'Golden passports', a program ruled illegal by the European Court of Justice in part due to leaked documents from Henley & Partners itself.
It can literally be done by a single person. All it does is count the number of countries with visa free or visa on arrival.
But makes no stipulations to the quality of the country. Visa free access to UK, Canada, EU, Japan, China etc is not the same as visa free access to Syria, Sudan or the likes
Rich people, mostly.
I want to be in the board of passport lists. Do you think it’s a full time job?
It's mentioned in the article.
A dude who runs the website, like always
Thanks to the efforts of MAGA, the U.S. has become a terrible place to live, visit, or do business.
I honestly don't know much about pre-1800s history outside of the Bible (bc American). Was there an effort to make Rome great again just before it collapsed?
