If you’re not yet sure about pursuing a second passport, or even how to go about the process, I’ve written a book on the subject. As the subtitle announces, this is the essential guide to obtaining the most important document you don’t have.

The book covers the seven ways in which one can obtain second citizenship in another country and, thus, be eligible for a second passport. As part of that, I explain not just immediate citizenship programs – so-called Citizenship-by-Investment – but long-term residence programs, such as retirement visas and digital nomad visas, that ultimately can lead to citizenship and a much-coveted second passport. 

Second Passports offers up the rationale for pursuing a second passport, how to begin the process, the areas of concern you need to pay attention to, and the documents that will be necessary to complete the process. The appendix is filled with charts of nearly every country in the world that offers passport and/or residence-visa programs. Those charts also offer details such as “time to citizenship” or “costs” that can help you determine where you should concentrate your efforts, based on your particular desires and financial situation.
