Document (Passport & ID) Expirations & Renewal Friction
Any required government contact to maintain a passport or ID is a bottleneck in the waiting and potential attack vector on your freedom of movement.
That's why, generally, an automatic extension by law is better than an extension pursuant to an application.
That's why 10 year passports are better than 5 year passports.
5 year IDs are better than 2 year IDs, and so-on.
This principle should be kept in mind when pursuing visas, residencies, citizenships, and official identification cards & documents.
In some cases, it could even be a tie-breaker in making a close decision of which of two mobility assets to pursue.
