Why need a second citizenship and passport?

The world is totally unpredictable, especially of economic crisis, natural disasters, war and anything can happen anytime. Many wealthy investors and corporates, are considering a second citizenship and second passport, and it works just like a backup insurance policy and guarantees you safety in an unlikely event, especially to your family members. Most developed countries allow their citizens to have multiple citizenships, but not all.

Why is it that all investor programs are so expensive, when there are ways to get second passports at cheaper prices?

We ask you not to fall into various online scams where second passports are sold relatively cheap and these are obtained by illegal and unscrupulous means and it carries a big risk when you travel. You could be deported or even be jailed, and we strongly advise you not to take such routes.

The best way is to legally get it done, in proper way with the approval of the Govt. You can “legally” qualify for citizenship and passport through a “economic citizenship by investment” programs offered by various governments and it certainly doesn’t come cheap and there is a long list of government formalities and paperwork need to worked out!

Our established team of lawyers and citizenship planning specialists, work closely providing advice to various governments on economic citizenship programs and citizenship planning.
