What countries are friendly to US citizens who wish to naturalize someplace else?

Question

I love the US, and find it to be a fantastic place to live. That being said, it has occured to me that there is nothing sacred about this country as much as the ideas this country was founded on. The Roman empire was fantastic, but eventually fell apart. In an effort to have considered every angle, I am considering buying a property in another country (English speaking, preferably. Spanish would do in a pinch, but it's not my first language). Should things turn ugly for us in the States, I'd like a back-up plan. What is it like in places such as Canada, England, Australia, Ireland, etc. for an American to live? Are any of them especially friendly to foreigners who wish to stay for an extended period of time? Who allows dual citizenship? I am hoping the Yahoo! community can help me with my due diligence.

Answer 1

Philippines is an English-speaking country.
Australia understands the Americans.
The abovementioned countries are good choices.

Answer 2

Most countries have a policy and allow dual citizenship's but some have restrictions, you have to check with that countries state department. I know the Philippines well. Most there would accept you however there are many that do not like nor want Americans there. Mindanao is full of Muslims as well and your safety could be in danger, so stay to the north. You can live as a king there if you come with the cash. Canada prefers the younger immigrate there that can contribute to their hiring needs and it appears less wanting Americans. Australia is similar but as well more selective and of you come there to retire they require your bank statements etc. There as well are many that do not like Americans there. England by association would be very similar to here and the same policies etc. The Irish are very proud people as well hate each other for religious differences and revenge. I state these opinions as I see some answers saying this or that place listed above. Choose by climate first the countries language and politics and health care.

Answer 3

The United States does not allow dual citizenship. If you want to become a full citizen of another country, you must denounce your USA citizenship. If you are an immigrant from (for example: Mexico) and you naturalize to the USA you can be a dual citizen, but not the other way around.

Speaking about language, there are other English speaking countries: The Philippines (English is an official language), Australia, Canada, England, Ireland, Hong Kong (Hong Kong is a city, Technically part of China, but Separate... its complicated.), Guam is a Province of USA, So is Puerto Rico, Tokyo Japan is fairly manageable for English speakers, Or basically any tourist city is going to be manageable for English speakers.

Besides Language, there are also other factors that play into a good location..... such as: are the native people hospitable to an American, is the country fairly safe, how is the money going to exchange out (good or bad), if that country fails... is there a back up, will a racist rise to power in the government and cause me to suffer? What if war breaks out? Generally, i would recommend a country that is NOT a desert country... **since people living in a desert country tend to be rude, angry, mean, racist, ignorant, and just very dangerous, (think about it.....Somalia.. Iraq..etc...), Also because water is very important to survival, and in a desert country it can dry up in hours, permanently. You generally want to live in an area that can support life without any infrastructure.
**If you don't believe me about Desert Country people being dangerous... List Modern Desert Countries that are not 3rd world countries... List Modern Desert Countries that have mass amounts of people moving into them.. ??
**I will admit that there are a couple exceptions...(Austraila, etc...)
There are exceptions to everything..does that mean its not true??... NO. The exceptions just prove the rule, (an example I like to give about exceptions is.... "Someone jumps off a 20 story building.... and he survives... does that mean that everyone should jump??"

**Remember to choose best answer.. you get points for doing so...

Answer 4

Canada allows dual citizenship and is quite friendly to Americans. Though I think Australia and its location on earth is the safest place to be if anything like warfare will break out.

Answer 5

Most countries do dual citizen ships. I met people who have more than 6 citizen ships. Brazil is a countries that embraces foreign very well.

Answer 6

little countries are friendly to anyone who is smart hard working and can provide work places for others, so look at countries where business blooming where economics growing, thees countries waiting for people who can make money work, anywhere you can make English language work for you in non English speaking countries.
