Countries that sell citizenship if only you can afford it

While so many countries offer citizenship the hard way, some have opted to make the process of acquiring their citizenship so easy: Just get rich and buy it outright.

Perhaps you don’t know, money doesn't just buy a glamorous vacation in the United States, Dubai, and so on, it can also buy citizenship too.

As citizenship becomes a commodity offered for sale, you don’t need to go through any bureaucratic process or spend donkey years languishing as a mere non-citizen resident in the country of your interest before you acquire the citizenship. Isn’t that cool?

Data from Knight Frank’s Attitudes Survey reveals that 34% of ultra high-net-worth individuals already hold a second passport and 29% are planning to purchase one, while 21% are considering emigrating permanently.

Apart from being a sign of affluence, getting second or third or multiple citizenships has also become a strategic way of planning for eventualities in one’s home country.

For instance, the BBC reported that events including the decision by Britain to leave the European Union and the 2016 US Presidential election are driving new interests the citizens of the two countries to acquire another citizenship.

Here is a list of countries that offer their citizenship for sales and the prices:

Canada is one of the world`s largest and wealthiest countries. This country is good for living, studying and working. There are a lot of Nigerian citizens already there because the process of obtaining a visa in Canada is quite simple.

We've been charging our smartphones wrong all this time

take note... No matter how good the battery is on your smartphone, if you're using it heavily, it will barely last you an entire day. For some people the reality is even worse, with an old iPhone 5 I used to have, if I managed to get eight hours of life from it, I'd consider myself very lucky. Things got even worse as the battery aged. But, there's a long-held belief that charging your smartphone in short bursts will cause long term damage to the batteries, and you're better off waiting until they're close to dead before charging them. But this isn't true according to a site belonging to battery company Cadex called Battery University . They argue that leaving your phone plugged in when it's fully charged (like say, if you put it charging overnight) is bad for the battery in the long run. Once your phone reaches the desired 100% battery when it's plugged in, it receives "trickle charges" to maintain the battery at ful...

Alpha Jetman Blows the Doors of Possibility Wide Open

Can you imagine actually becoming the plane? Yves Rossy created a winged jetpack that enables him to take to the sky with the freedom of a bird, awarding him the accurate moniker of Jet Man. And let me tell you, seeing a human body flying right next to full metal jets has completely shaken up what’s possible! Yves Rossy is just one of those great people who must never have heard “it can’t be done” . We thank both Airborne Films–Jetman (what beautiful work) and XDubai (leading out on the edges) for bringing us some of the Jetman story in the videos below! The marvel of this leap in aviation is incalculable. I’m not sorry to admit that my sense of possibility was expanded by watching this and that I shed a little tear. Just imagine the thoughts running through the minds of those jet pilots flying in formation, watching JetMan and his friend crisscross the sky above them was going to leave it there, but I had so many questions. I’m not s...
