No matter your reasons, being an expat entails some complexities, such as getting visas, moving to another country, or even learning a foreign language.

Before World War I, you didn’t need a passport to travel internationally.

It was a self-evident truth that a sovereign individual could travel anywhere he wanted without asking for anyone’s permission.

Unfortunately, that’s not how travel works today.

Your so-called freedom of movement depends on getting multiple governments’ blessings.

You need to get a passport from your home government—possibly one that contains your immutable biometric information—and a visa from the government of your destination country and further visas from the governments of any country you transit to get there.

In addition to passports and visas, governments can impose ridiculous and invasive medical conditions to enter their territories, as the Covid mass hysteria proved.

Unfortunately, passports are not going away.

And so, after an exhilarating summer travel adventure around the world, you hop a plane to the US where you’re set to start classes in a few days.

All you have to do is clear customs and have your passport stamped by a US immigration official.

International Man: Prior to World War I, you didn’t need a passport to travel internationally. The ability for a free human being to travel without having to obtain government permission was a self-evident truth.

But that’s not how the modern passport system works.

Today, in order to travel, you need a passport, probably with one that contains biometric information such as digital fingerprints. And in order to get a passport, you need a government’s blessing.

In other words, travel is treated as if it’s a privilege. You need to ask for permission. Any government can restrict or revoke your passport for whatever reason it wants.
