It is no wonder that obtaining citizenship is seldom easy—unless you have unusual means. For millionaires and billionaires like Peter Thiel and Jho Low, a new passport is just a question of price.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMore than a dozen countries, many of them small islands in the Mediterranean, Caribbean, and South Pacific, sell citizenship to 50,000 people annually. Kristin Surak investigated the industry. Some “investor citizens” parlay their new passport into visa-free travel or use it as a stepping stone to residence in a third country like the United States. Other buyers seek an insurance policy against their home states. Almost none intend to live among their new compatriots, who have a complex relationship with these global elites.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA groundbreaking study of a contentious practice that has become popular among the nouveaux riches, \u003ci\u003eThe Golden Passport\u003c\/i\u003e takes readers through the geopolitical hydraulics of a business that thrives on imbalances of power between big, globalized economies and tiny states desperate for investment. In between are the fascinating stories of buyers, brokers, and sellers, all poised to profit.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nPRODUCT DETAILS : \u003cbr\u003e\n    \u003ctable\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd colspan=\"2\"\u003eISBN : 9780674303560 \u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd colspan=\"2\"\u003eBY (AUTHOR) Surak, Kristin \u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePUBLISHER : Harvard University Press  \u003c\/td\u003e\n        \u003ctd\u003ePUBLICATION DATE : January 13, 2026 \u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCOUNTRY OF PUBLICATION : United States \u003c\/td\u003e\n        \u003ctd\u003eIMPRINT : Harvard University Press \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLANGUAGE : English \u003c\/td\u003e\n        \u003ctd\u003eAGE : Professional \u0026amp; Vocational \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd colspan=\"2\"\u003ePRODUCT FORM : Paperback \/ softback \u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003c\/table\u003e\n    DIMENSION : 225 mm x 146 mm \u003cbr\u003eWEIGHT : 419 g \u003cbr\u003ePRODUCT SAFETY : US CPSIA or other international hazard warning - No California Proposition 65 hazard warning necessary \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePRODUCT CATEGORY :\u003cbr\u003e    \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/bookazine-hong-kong.myshopify.com\/collections\/Economics-Finance-Business-Management\"\u003eEconomics, Finance, Business \u0026amp; Management\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e    \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/bookazine-hong-kong.myshopify.com\/collections\/Society-Social-Sciences\"\u003eSociety \u0026amp; Social Sciences\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Surak, Kristin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49861809832213,"sku":"9780674303560","price":230.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0272\/7087\/3174\/files\/The_Golden_Passport_Global_Mobility_for_Millionaires_9780674303560.jpg?v=1775715546","url":"https:\/\/bookazine.com.hk\/products\/the-golden-passport-global-mobility-for-millionaires","provider":"Bookazine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
