Mikkel Thorup — Wed, 23 Apr 2025 11:00:00 +0000

Most people spend their lives trying to build freedom for themselves, but equally important is how they can pass that freedom on to their children. Today, I’m pulling back the curtain on a powerful strategy I’ve used personally: birth tourism. All 3 of my kids were born in different countries—not just for the experience, but to secure real, lifelong advantages for them. Now, I’m taking everything I’ve learned and launching a brand-new venture to help other families do the same.

In today’s episode, I’m joined by my good friend and business partner, Mike Qu, a lifelong entrepreneur with businesses on three continents, a family of five, and a powerful mission to build multi-generational freedom. Mike and I have both experienced firsthand the legal, financial, and legacy-shaping benefits of second citizenship by birth, and now we are combining that knowledge to help other families do the same.

Enjoy today’s episode!

347: Could Your Passport Be Your Downfall?

Mikkel Thorup — Wed, 16 Apr 2025 11:00:00 +0000

A passport is crucial to your freedom and global mobility, but what if your citizenship could be a liability? I recently read an interesting article on IMI Daily called “13 Ways Your Passport Could Ruin Your Life.” While I agree with many of the author’s points, I believe most of the real-world risks are misunderstood—and far more manageable—than people realize.

In today’s episode, I expand on each of the 13 points, breaking them down one by one through the lens of my two decades of real-world offshore experience. I cover the good, the bad, and the misunderstood—and I’ll show you exactly how to easily avoid any potential pitfalls while building a solid offshore Plan-B.

344: Don’t Just Stand and Fight—Position Yourself to Win

Mikkel Thorup — Wed, 26 Mar 2025 11:00:00 +0000

There’s a freedom revolution quietly unfolding—and it’s not coming through politics. More and more people are taking matters into their own hands—setting up offshore structures, getting second residencies, diversifying their assets, and ensuring they’re not boxed in by failing systems. It’s not about fear—it’s about options and the ability to act on your own terms when things get messy.

In today’s episode, I sat down with Austrian economist Bob Murphy on The Bob Murphy Show to break down this transformation and share what I’m seeing on the ground with clients around the world.

Mikkel Thorup — Wed, 13 Nov 2024 11:00:00 +0000

No matter where you live or where you’re from, it’s hard to avoid the U.S. election. Whether we like it or not, whoever holds that office has tremendous power and will undoubtedly affect the geopolitical landscape over the next four years.

In today’s episode, I am joined by two of my Expat Money team members, Marc Clair and Remso Martinez – who happen to be Americans and experts on U.S. politics. The three of us have a roundtable discussion about the recent election of Donald Trump and its potential impact on expats and your offshore plans. We explore what his promises around tax cuts, deregulation, and government downsizing could mean for Americans living overseas and why an offshore Plan-B remains essential in today’s volatile political landscape. Enjoy!

We delve into Trump’s potential impact on the BRICS alliance and its push towards non-dollar payment systems—will the trend towards de-dollarization continue under his presidency?

CONCLUSION

My expat journey was sparked by a passion for exploring the world, experiencing new cultures, and learning how to leverage multiple residences and citizenships to build a true Plan-B and protect your wealth.

Mikkel Thorup — Wed, 06 Dec 2023 11:00:00 +0000

Paraguay is a new country for me and is the latest stop on my quest to try to tick off all of the countries in Central and South America. I saw all of Central America over 20 years ago, but there are still some South American countries that are on my bucket list.

Today, you’ll not only learn about my time in Paraguay and my overall perspective on the country but also get a sense of the kind of things I look for when I am touring a new country for the first time, always with my listeners and clients in mind.

Hear about a little mishap with our room upon arriving in Villa Rica and how I turned that into an excuse to have an incredible meal.
Listen to me describe our tour of a timber plantation, which included seeing a Guinness World Record-holding marvel!
I describe my visit to an exclusive German-speaking community (you read that right) in the middle of Paraguay!
Hear another of my tales of travel mishaps – this one involving my attempts to pay a Paraguayan cabbie.
Learn how Paraguay has leveraged its hydroelectric power, not just to provide electricity for its own people but also by selling power to neighbouring Brazil. Brilliant!

Listen to me break down several of the exciting real estate investment opportunities I got to check out there. While I can’t advise anyone to act just yet, there are definitely some projects to keep an eye on.

Today’s guest is Addison Wiggin, an American writer, publisher, and filmmaker. He currently hosts The Wiggin Sessions, a YouTube show covering the financial markets, the economy and politics. He writes the financial daily, The Daily Missive, and is the host and editor of The Essential Investor, a fundamental resource for individuals managing their money.

Addison joins me today to discuss his perspective on the inevitable financial reckoning that he has been predicting for years.

264: How To Get A Backup Citizenship Or Residency

Mikkel Thorup — Wed, 04 Oct 2023 11:00:00 +0000

Since it’s Summit week, and you really should be checking out the over 40 free presentations going on there, I am going to republish an episode today that I did earlier this year about how to go about getting a backup citizenship or residency.

But first, really, stop what you’re doing and grab your spot over at the Expat Money Summit and catch these incredible presentations live. You can come back to this later!

HOW TO GET A BACKUP CITIZENSHIP OR RESIDENCY

Confused about the lexicon or language when it comes to immigration? Many people are. This is the episode that you won’t want to miss.
I start with the most basic language, so you’ll fully comprehend and understand it.
I discuss the difference between temporary and permanent residencies and why they are so important to understand.
The next step up is citizenship. What does this mean? What must you do or complete to become a citizen in a new country?
Are you thinking about starting a family or having additional children? Listen as I talk about birth tourism and what it can mean for you and your family.
One of my main focuses is on Residency by Investment. What does that look like, and how can you obtain one?
What is a Golden Visa? You may have heard this phrase.
The next piece of information I cover is Citizenship by Investment. The countries that offer it, and why I believe it is so important.
I run through the countries that currently have citizenship by investment and the costs involved.

CONCLUSION

I hope today’s episode was beneficial to you and works as a real complement to the three-hour workshop I did on Saturday.

I also want to say that if you’re listening to today’s episode and you still haven’t hopped over to the Summit, it’s the perfect next step on your expat journey. You can still catch the remaining presentations for free or upgrade to a VIP ticket for lifetime access.
