🇲🇹⚖🇪🇺 #BREAKING: The @EU_Commission has today referred #Malta to the European Court of Justice for its investor citizenship scheme. The European Commission considers ‘golden passports' incompatible with the TFEU principle of sincere cooperation and concept of Union citizenship.

Current wait times at embassies for a visitor visa to the US: 857 days — Bogota 850 days — Abuja 848 days — Mumbai 833 days — New Delhi 800 days — Guadalajara 780 days — Chennai 771 days — Panama City 767 days — Kolkata 737 days — Lagos 731 days — Kinshasha 722 days — Nogales
This visa issue with India is an absurdity. Imagine going to get a tourist visa in New Delhi and being told the next available appointment is in 2025. Unacceptable. We need to do better.

An informative thread on dual citizenship and conscription in practice @AfterTheState
Since the #MobilizationInRussia & #UkraineRussiaWar several observations related to (dual) #citizenship can be made. Will populate 🧵 as things develop. 1. While some countries ban DualCit, others follow master-nationality rule=dual citizenship is not recognised.

Maybe FATCA reform can get some legislative traction?
Replying to @RepLloydDoggett
However, FATCA has had the unintended consequence of making it difficult to get banking services abroad for “accidental Americans”—dual citizens, Americans by virtue of birth but with few ties to the United States.
