Hello, my husband is Dutch and we live in Texas. We have a very good life here. He’s planning on becoming a US citizen once he’s eligible but I’m not sure if we can keep both passports. If not, he said he was going to give up his Dutch citizenship. I was just wondering if there’s any benefits in keeping it (as we have no intention in ever living in Europe and he no longer has family there).
Unless you are 70+ years old never say never. At that point one is fairly settled with retirement (no job strings limiting choices).
I am in my 50s and living in an area I said I would never live. After living in another area as an expat I said I would never live. And those two places are polar opposites quite literally opposite sides of the world.
That is because I no longer have a desire for “home” due to extreme COL and value.
It could be as simple as retiring and realizing you want to move somewhere and it is easier with one passport over the other. The US Passport is not always the one with the most/best access.
I was just in the UK watching a house hunting show. Retirees were moving to the Spanish countryside for very nice villas in the $100K to $200K price range. It is making me rethink exploring other locations for retirement.
I would love to know what house-hunting show you’re referring to. I am familiar with ‘Escape to the Country’ and they had just one season I think where they did European escapes, and it has always been my favorite season.
Was it Escape to the Country?
