What is a passport? A passport is defined by wikipedia as “a travel document, usually issued by the government of a nation, that certifies the identity and nationality (not citizenship) of its holder for the purpose of international travel.” As you’ll soon see – it’s a lot more than just a travel document. It’s a representation of your citizenship, and ultimately – your freedom.

What is a Second Passport? A 2nd passport is the 1st flag of flag theory because it decreases our reliance on any one government.

Here are some common reasons why it makes sense to have multiple official travel documents.

Ability to travel visa free True freedom and hedge against any one government Worse case scenario insurance Finally – if you are America, an alternative citizenship gives you the right (but not the obligation) to renounce your American citizenship and finally eliminate your worldwide tax obligation. Unless Unless you have a second passport, this is impossible. You are fully in the clutches of one government, and beholden to their oft reckless and negligent international relations. The US government for instance, instituted a law starting in 2016 that allows the IRS to make a request to the state department to cancel the passport of American citizens traveling abroad. You can read more about how passports can be cancelled by the IRS here. here .
What is an alternative citizenship? Alternative citizenship, is having citizenship citizenship in multiple countries simultaneously. simultaneously. Dual citizenship is an accepted practice worldwide, where one can obtain a second passport and additional travel or financial benefits, as well as protection against worse case scenarios.

2/7
myth. Ignorance, and nationalistic indoctrination, has perpetuated a stigma that somehow obtaining a 2nd passport is “grey”, or outright illegal across the world. Plenty of people have dual citizenship, and you can do. If you want to see if you are eligible for dual citizenship, here is full list of eligibility for every country in the world. Typically ypically,, countries have official laws that fall into 1 of 3 categories 1. dual citizenship is officially recognized and accepted (France) 2. dual citizenship is not officially recognized, but still widely in in practice (USA) 3. dual citizenship citizenship is forbidden (Singapore) In most countries, dual citizenship is accepted norm – such as the United States. Other countries, like France, even go so far as to officially recognize dual citizenship Many countries are taking a more progressive stance, give the international nature of many families. It is quite unfair to forbid a young child to hold a citizenship from both his parents if he is so entitled, and some countries allow a youth to hold multiple citizenship until a certain age (see Thailand). In any event, we don’t think that dual citizenship should be forbidden anywhere. It is a violation of human rights to prevent a person from the freedoms they would be naturally afforded: 1. the freedom to travel and move freely 2. the freedom to open up a bank account 3. the freedom to do business internationally Passports play a vital role and are the 1st flag of flag theory because they open up a world of opportunity. Here are some ways in which you can get a 2nd passport.

What is the best passport to have? Objectively, the best passport to have as a permanent traveler, is the one that offers you the most travel benefits, without placing burden on you financially.

They are restricted to diplomats and usually allow for things such as the following
What do you get with a diplomatic passport 1. No Fees 2. Additional travel options 3. diplomatic immunity 4. benefits at the airport 5. cool(er) passport color The benefits of a diplomatic passport are overblown, it has a very privileges that government officials extend to their buddies – but overall it makes very little difference to everyday life. I have diplomatic entry to Thailand. Does it make any difference in my life? None. I might save 10 minutes because I have a work permit through a BOI company. Don’t stress about a diplomatic passport, and don’t trust someone who says they can get you one for 40k – it’s not worth the effort or trouble. A diplomatic passport reminds me of a quote from stoic philosophy I’ve adapted slightly the the permanent traveler needs nothing and yet can make good use of anything, the politician needs everything and can make good use of nothing”.

Common mistakes with immigration When doing citizenship by investment, the first thing you should look at is the actual law i the country – is this a fully legal and legitimate program. The second thing to look at is the passport provider – are they legitimate? There are many different passport scams out there. These range from black market (fake or forged documents) to grey market (payment or bribery for shortened timeline). You should never spend a dime on any of these programs, as unless there is an official law backing your naturalization process, it can later be stripped from you (and you could even face fines or jailtime as they make you the scapegoat).

Temporary residency to residency to citizenship. These are programs shown in the right hand column where you can get a temporary residency in the country, and then after a period of time apply to become a permanent resident, and then after another period of time apply to become a citizen.

citizenship. If you are a citizen of a former Spanish colony – say Philippines, you can get a second passport in Spain in just 2 years, and it will cost you almost nothing. You simply need to start a business there. See this article for more on that program. Panama has a great residency scheme for countries which can apply under a ‘friendly nations visa’ this scheme requires $5000 bank deposit (or mid 4 figures) to receive the visa, during which time you are expected to start a company (capitalize with 10,000) or invest in real estate (50,000+) and after 5 years you can become a citizen. Paraguay also has a relatively inexpensive second passport process where you can become a permanent resident when you put $25,000 in a bank account (which can be withdrawn) and go through an application process we would be happy to assist you with. After 3 years of permanent residency, one can apply for a second passport.
how to get second passport legally There are many different ways to obtain a second passport. Through birth – being born in a country can grant you citizenship through jus soli Through marriage – many countries have shortened timelines to naturalization if you are married to a citizen Through bloodline – the first place you should check is if you can qualify under jus sanguinis laws (which are very common in Europe) that can sometimes extend several generations Through investment – If you are able to make an investment, you can buy yourself into a permanent residency or citizenship by investment program However a few illegal ways that you should NOT pursue: Do NOT get married to a man/woman solely for the purposes of a second passport. In many countries, including the United States – this is illegal and they will have specific questions during the interview such as “what color are the curtains in your bedroom” to try and uncover your plot. Do NOT bribe a local official. If someone offers you the chance to “quicken the timeline” to a second citizenship you should politely decline, and avoid that person. Not only could they take your money, it’s quite likely they will need to forge documents on your behalf. If this is later uncovered, your citizenship could be revoked.
