Second Passport, Nationality & Residency Programs

Dual nationality has always been held by wealthy people with a knowledge of world history. They know of the dangers of placing an entire future in the hands of politicians. Patriotism might be OK if governments were consistents and let you be free. But socialistic Big Brother bureau(c)rats now have the power to run your life from cradle to grave. Most of them think that all people who own businesses. securities, gold, foreign bank accounts or property are criminals who should be relieved of them and what little freedom they still have left. It is therefore imperative for the security of anyone of substance or ambition to have at least one other passport and nationality.

Every country has its own citizenship rules. Some countries welcome individuals with nationalized ancestors. Others give passports to those of a certain religion. Some for simply buying real estate, or through socalled ‘Economic Citizenship Investment Programs’. The rules and the opportunities are endless. Though the easiest and – quickest! – way to secure citizenship is through simple purchase – many governments issue passports to gain extra revenue – the question is, which government and at what cost? We know which, and for how much, at any given moment!

18 GOOD REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD CONSIDER A SECOND PASSPORT:

1. 1. Political instalibility in your country of origin makes travel on your current passport difficult.
   2. Your assets are the target of litigation or you are burdened by taxation.
   3. Your basic human right or travel is restricted.
   4. You are not allowed to work, do business, buy exclusive property overseas or settle in another country.
   5. Your assets, freedom of movement and even life are threatened by your country’s political situation.
   6. You are subject to persecution for your religious or political beliefs or for pursuing certain harmless activities.
   7. Your present passport makes you a target for hijackers and terrorists.
   8. Your present passport could be revoked, confiscated or suspended.
   9. You are subjected to tax on your worldwide income, to currency controls or other confiscations.
   10. Your government controls, restricts or monitors your travels.
   11. Your present passport causes you delays, harassment or denies at any border.
   12. You need visas to visit places where you want to go.
   13. Your citizenship forces you into unwanted military obligations.
   14. You are identified as a citizen of an unpopular, immoral, aggresive or despotic nation.
   15. Your passport needs to be renewed or validated more than once every two years.
   16. Limited freedom to invest your money when and where you please.
   17. You belong to the “wrong” country, like ex-Yugoslavia, Iraq, Iran, etc.
   18. You cannot invest in the foreign stock markets or offshore mutual funds without restriction or hindrance.
