Ghana
US Citizen Presence and Mobility
Ghana is the most legally-permissive destination in Africa for US citizens seeking dual citizenship, and the country has been signaling exactly that since 2019. The brief covers the diaspora citizenship lane, the Year of Return campaign and its successors, the April 2024 Supreme Court ruling that materially expanded what naturalized Americans can do in Ghanaian public life, and the 2025 Constitutional Amendment Bill currently before parliament. Free download as part of the AER data launch.

Country intelligence brief
Mexico
12 pages
Mexico is home to the largest US-born population of any country outside the United States, at 797,266 by the most recent census. The brief maps where these Americans live, how Mexico's residency and citizenship frameworks accommodate them, and why three official sources give three different counts of the same population.

Country intelligence brief
Costa Rica
28 pages
Costa Rica's Pensionado program has been pulling American retirees for nearly four decades. The brief audits the legal framework, walks the four principal residency routes, and explains why the published figures undercount the actual American community by a meaningful margin.

Country intelligence brief
Panama
19 pages
Panama operates the oldest retirement-residency program in the Americas (1987), the most favorable tax architecture for US retirees in the region, and a permit framework that admits more Americans than its public statistics record. The brief walks each route (Pensionado, Friendly Nations Visa, Qualified Investor) and the data conventions behind them.

Country intelligence brief
Colombia
41 pages · the deepest single-country brief in the series
Colombia is becoming one of the most accessible long-term destinations in Latin America for US citizens: lower cost than Mexico, simpler than Portugal and a permit framework that admits Americans on multiple grounds. The brief covers the residence and tax frameworks, the 2017 to 2025 permit data series and the comparative case for Colombia against the more crowded Latin American alternatives.

Country intelligence brief
Dominican Republic
32 pages
The Dominican Republic operates the largest American settler population in the Caribbean, anchored by an eight-category permit framework most US advisors have never read and a Real Property Tax architecture that materially favors American buyers. The brief covers the residence routes, the naturalization framework and the data that separates the country's 2.5 million annual US visitors from its actual American residents.

Country intelligence brief
Israel
23 pages
Israel is the only country in the world where US citizens can acquire citizenship as a religious right rather than through naturalization. Roughly 200,000 Americans live there. The brief covers the Law of Return architecture, the Aliyah-from-US pipeline and the political and demographic forces that shape both.

Country intelligence brief
UAE
25 pages
The UAE offers Americans the most favorable personal income-tax architecture in the world, and stopped publishing nationality-level residence data around 2010. The brief reconstructs the American population in Dubai and Abu Dhabi from the data that remains, including Dubai DET tourism flows, federal census aggregates and the US military and embassy carve-outs.

Country intelligence brief
Russia
14 pages
Russia stopped publishing nationality-disaggregated migration data in mid-2023. Before that, it carried a substantial American resident population and a substantial gap between official figures and the actual community. The brief walks both sides of the data curtain: sanctions-era residency, the MVD permit-stock series through 2022 and the consular reporting that picks up where the host-country data ends.
