If I have no ties to my home country, can I get a tourst visa by being in a good financial position?
No house, car, loan, marriage, job. Only significant ties to my home country are my investment lands (just sitting there for appreciation), my parents and my emotions.
- If you ask me, lands aren't really ties because I can sell them remotely using a power of attorney.
- Idk how I'm supposed to prove my ties to my parents well enough to convince visa dudes that I'm coming back. Everyone have parents. I actually asked an embassy and they told me they have no suggestions about any specific documents I can provide.
- Well I don't think I can document my emotions but I tried living in multiple countries to see if I want to move to one of them but I found that I like living in my home country. So its the best country for me for long term living. So far at least.
The banks I actively use and +99% of my liquid NW are located outside of my home country.
I'd just apply without asking here but once you get rejected for a visa, that stays on record for life and creates issues if you want to buy a passport or apply to visas. From what I can tell visa dudes don't really ask questions or request documents. They just hit the red button.

If you feel that you have to prove your ties to your home country, then how about the visa "dudes"? if you aren't sure, for sure they won't be as well.
Recently and due to the many wars around the world, the financial position itself does not seem enough to prove ties. Many rich people, for example from Syria, applies for tourist visas then never leave. I am sure if a simple person like me noticed this, the visa "dudes" for sure have noticed it.
If you are from a stable country, you have a better chance of getting the visa based on your financial status. However, if you are from an untestable country, then things might be different. You most likely will need to have a job certificate at minimum to prove some sort of ties.
Finally, you are overthinking it, if you have travelled as much as you claim, then mention that in the "countries visited in the past X years" field, this field is there for some reasons, proving ties is one of them.

Answer 2
It is hard to advise without more specifics. A Japanese citizen with funds but no job would be treated differently from a Syrian citizen in the same economic situation.
- Right now tourist travel is severely restricted because of the pandemic. It will matter how prevalent various COVID strains are in your country of residence. By the time that is over, both the rules and your situation might have changed enough to make the current answer irrelevant.
- They want to predict overstay risks on that tourist visa. Ties to the home country are one way. If you would qualify for an investor visa e.g. in Malta any time you decide to spend the money, that would also make you a lower risk on a tourist visa.
You wrote "buy a passport" in your post, so presumably you have considered doing that yourself. - When it comes to funds, read up on the concept of funds parking. The visa officials will want to be sure that the money is really yours and not borrowed for this purposes.
- Visa officials prefer normal cases. Having to explain why your case is special is a bad thing.
