Dear International Living Reader,

The Stock Exchange has been all but shut down. The
country’s largest banks and financial institutions are
unable to process transactions.

To try and salvage the economy, the government is


rapidly boosting interest rates.

Inflation is rampant. A vast devaluation of the currency


looms. /p>

Grocery shelves are bare. Medications are hard to come


by. Local businesses are shuttered.

You can’t even get a cup of coffee. But it doesn’t matter. Because you have no money.

You can’t access your bank accounts, your retirement funds, or your pension.

Your credit card doesn’t even work.

Think this can’t happen? It’s happening right now.

It’s happening to more than 144 million people that hold a Russian passport.

Now I’m not debating the wisdom of the sanctions against the Putin regime. I’m no
politician. The destruction in Ukraine is unbearable. Despicable.

I’m simply pointing out: When governments make stupid or extreme decisions...it’s people
like you and me who pay. And sometimes we pay dearly.

Consider what happened in Canada just last year. The government literally froze the bank
accounts of hundreds of people...then arrested them for protesting the nation’s
vaccination policy. Because their accounts were frozen, they couldn’t afford money for
bail!

And regardless of how you feel about those protestors...freezing bank accounts over
political differences is a startling departure for a country like Canada.
If they’re doing it...who’s next? And over what?

Last year it was vaccines...what’ll it be next year?

And I get it. You might hear about all this...Russia and vaccine protests and think “well
that doesn’t affect me because I’m on the right side of that issue...”

But will you be on the “right” side of the next one?

It’s not crazy to think about what you can do to protect yourself and your family.

When The World Is In Crisis...Here's the One Thing You Must Have

The best get-out-jail-free card you can own is a second passport.

I can pretty much guarantee that you’re eligible for one.

And they’re much easier—and less expensive—to obtain than most people think.

They’re useful in the case of a political problem...but they can be life-saving in the case of
a natural or economic disaster.

Imagine an earthquake or hurricane (or pandemic) strikes...

Suddenly...thank goodness...a plane shows up... Soldiers hustle out and wave you
forward towards the plane.

As you approach, you notice that some people are being turned away. Then you realize,
the soldiers are only evacuating people with certain nationalities.

You pull out your second passport...and the soldiers wave you through.

Did you know?


40% of Americans are eligible for a 2nd passport by nationality and probably don’t
realize it. (As of April 2022, at least 800,000 Americans are newly eligible for a
passport from an EU country.)

If you are a U.S. citizen, the government can seize your passport at any time.
You don’t have to renounce your citizenship to get a second passport, and it can
reduce your taxes significantly.

Second passports aren’t just for the wealthy. While some countries are clamping
down on “golden visas,” there are easy, affordable ways to get the most coveted
second passports.

You may think “it can’t happen to me.” But it happens all the time.

In a true crisis, even the most organized, “civilized” society can fall apart very quickly.

For instance, did you know that if America’s trucks or highways were shut down for
whatever reason—a hack, a gasoline shortage, a natural disaster, an anti-vaccine protest
—store shelves in the U.S. would be bare within two days.

Fortunately, as many as 40% of Americans qualify for a 2nd passport by ancestry alone
and don’t realize it.

Same goes for Canadians.

In both the U.S. and Canada, second passports are perfectly legal. You can even hold
multiple citizenships if you like.

It is not un-patriotic. You are not required to give up your U.S. or Canadian citizenship
when you obtain a second passport and citizenship.

And it’s not just a good idea in case of crisis.

A second passport comes with many more benefits...and may be the most valuable
legacy you pass on to your heirs...the ultimate way to protect your family’s safety,
security, and wealth.

But let me step back for a minute...

Another Important Reason to Have a Second Passport, Right Now

As you know, beginning in 2020, the European Union blocked the entry of U.S. citizens for
over a year.
But just this month there’s been talk about putting new restrictions in place, such as proof
of Covid-19 vaccinations or a negative test prior to entry. So far this talk has only been in
relation to travel from China.

So far…

But what if you had needed to travel to Europe while entry restrictions were in place?

If you were not considered an “essential” visitor (a diplomat, humanitarian worker, etc.)
you were out of luck.

Unless, that is, you hold a second passport from an approved nation.

Just over three years ago, no one could have seen this coming. But here we are.

If we have learned anything, it’s that anything can happen. That’s why it’s so important to
be prepared.

There has never been a more important time to have a second passport.

If you appreciate the importance of being able to travel more freely...without expensive or
hard-to-get visas...being able to retire overseas more comfortably, buy overseas property
free and clear...and once and for all, protecting yourself and your family from political and
economic turmoil...it’s time to investigate your options.

Having a Second Passport is Your Right. And It Is


Completely Legal
The U.S. was built on a foundation of freedom and personal liberties...unalienable rights
that seem to be slowly eroding more and more every day.

If this concerns you—as it should—there’s one certain way to protect your privacy and
distance yourself from overly extreme government regulations. And that’s with a second
passport.

It is your right to have one. According to the U.S. Supreme Court, it is fully legal for a U.S.
person to hold two or even more citizenships.

A second passport offers many benefits. Best of all, in most cases, you can pass on any
citizenship rights you have to your children. And you can sidestep some very serious
consequences that no one tells you about until it is too late.

There are other reasons, too, to hold a second passport. Most people don’t realize it, but
the U.S. denies or cancels existing passports of its citizens every day. Delinquent on your
taxes? Behind on your child support? Depending on your situation, your passport can be
cancelled.

Another thing you may not realize is that your passport doesn’t actually belong to you. It
belongs to the government. And it’s their right to take it. In 2018 alone, the U.S.
government cancelled somewhere in the vicinity of 362,000 passports. (Due to the
pandemic, 2019 - 2021 numbers are unavailable.)
The government can revoke or deny your passport if you owe a legally enforceable tax
liability of $54,000—including tax, penalties, and interest. Or if you owe $2,500 or more in
child support.

I’m not sharing all this to scare you. To the contrary. Because although you never know
what might happen in today’s chaotic global financial and political climate, the good news
is that right now you have one essential “self-protection” option.

A Second Passport is Your Ultimate Insurance


Policy and the Key to Opening These 7 Doors:
1. It hands you more options to travel freely. While it’s true that U.S. passport holders
have (until recently) always been able to travel easily to many countries, there are
some that require you to get sometimes-difficult-to-obtain and often-costly visas,
such as China, India, Vietnam, Venezuela, and many African and Middle Eastern
countries. By contrast, some Asian and European countries offer the strongest
passport options for visa-free travel. In the 2023 Passport Index, the U.S. ranked
behind 19 countries, such as Poland, the United Arab Emirates, Germany, South
Korea, and more.

2. You have more opportunities for global investing, banking, residence, and doing
business. As you may know, thanks to increased IRS scrutiny and reporting
requirements, many global financial institutions shy away from opening accounts
for U.S. citizens—problems you won’t encounter with the proper second passport. It
can virtually open the door to a world of international investment and income
options that are off limits to you now.

3. You can avoid foreign policy stigma and “Yankee Go Home” mentality. For good or
bad, the U.S. has a reputation for meddling in the politics and policies of other
countries, and at times, this could make you a target for bad intentions. Carrying a
passport from a neutral country can increase your peace of mind and sense of
safety and security.

4. Should your current passport ever be restricted or revoked, you’ll have options.
I’ve already shared some of the reasons your passport can be seized. Again, having
an alternative ensures peace of mind. You will always have another place to call
home.
5. You will have the legal right to live and work in another country. If you’ve done any
research about your options to gain legal residence and/or be able to legally work in
another country, you know how difficult...impossible even...this can be. Having a
second passport can take this issue off the table. An EU passport is particularly
valuable, giving you the legal right to live and work in, as of now, 27 member
countries.

6. Tax benefits. You may know that the U.S. taxes its citizens on worldwide income, no
matter where in the world you live. Though a second passport won't guarantee you
pay less taxes, getting one is a step toward potentially lessening your tax burden.

7. It’s a legacy you can pass on to future generations. You may be able to pass on any
additional citizenship rights and benefits to your children and grandchildren. By
giving them citizenship in the best countries possible, you can help ensure they have
a better life and increased opportunities. For example, many countries provide
FREE university educations to its citizens.

Note: Right now this last issue may be most important. As we have discovered during the
pandemic, having access to a safe destination where you can take your family is
priceless. People around the world have found themselves stuck in their countries of
residence, subject to government decisions they may not agree with and often at the
mercy of weak healthcare systems.

Bottom line...

A Second Passport is the Ultimate


Insurance Policy That Guarantees
Protection, Privacy, Freedom, and
More

AND THIS DEFINITIVE BOOK—


SHOWS YOU HOW TO GET
YOURS.
It’s better to be prepared than to seek a solution once it’s too
late. That’s true of anything that has to do with your well-
being, and especially when it comes to your financial security and safety. So let me
suggest that you start now to put your plan in place.

This is the 13th Edition of The Passport Book, Now With


an Additional Focus on Overseas Retirement
There’s no other book out there with the breadth and depth—and the history—of The
Passport Book, first published in 2000. This 13th edition includes analysis of passport
and visa options offered by the world’s best retirement countries and comes complete
with current contact details useful to potential retirees and overseas home hunters.

Now I do want to make clear that getting a second passport can be time consuming, and
your success will depend on your personal situation—such as where you want to live,
how long you want to live there, and your ancestry.

But if you plan to spend a long period of time living in another country, or own property in
a different country, or have ancestors from another country, you may have an advantage.

Each country is different, with its own path to citizenship, and hurdles to overcome.

But that’s exactly what THE PASSPORT BOOK: The Complete Guide to Offshore
Residence, Dual Citizenship and Second Passports will do for you: This latest edition will
help you determine your best options and guide you through the steps to take to obtain the
best second citizenship for you.

Former Congressman and offshore banking and citizenship expert Robert (Bob)
Bauman has had his work featured in The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, the
National Review, and more.
It’s written by Robert (Bob) Bauman, JD. After earning his degree from Georgetown
University, he practiced law and became a Member of the U.S. House of Representatives
in 1973, where he served until 1981.

His position in Congress took him on trade and diplomatic missions around the world—
from Beijing to Panama and points in between.

As Legal Counsel to International Living and other publishing companies, he has led
offshore banking expeditions to dozens of countries on five continents. He is a sought-
after advisor, author, and lecturer on many aspects of wealth protection, offshore
citizenship, and international residence.

Bob remains a firm believer that the United States can continue to be one of the best
countries in the world, but he also embraces the sad-yet-undeniable fact that the
American way of life has deteriorated over the past 60 years. And the pace of decline and
the erosion of freedoms is now accelerating,

That’s why he wrote THE PASSPORT BOOK—to help you understand the options that exist
for living with the liberties, rights, and opportunities you deserve.

It’s one of the heftiest volumes in our library here at International Living—and I mean that
in more ways than one. Not only is jam-packed with information, tips, advice, and
recommendations you won’t find anywhere else, but it also weighs in at 751 pages.

It is the quintessential and definitive guide to offshore residence and second citizenship.
In fact, I challenge you to find anything like it. And while you may find older editions of
THE PASSPORT BOOK out there, this special offer for this newest edition is only available
here now.

Here’s a Small Taste of What’s Covered in THE


PASSPORT BOOK:
You can’t find this kind of information anywhere else, and believe me I’ve looked.
Certainly, you won’t find the kind of details...the secrets to the second passport world, the
reasoned and experienced advice, the tips that will save you money and headaches...that
you’ll find in this comprehensive “field guide.”

Here’s a brief look at just some of what’s covered:


You’re Not Alone in Searching for That Second Passport
Global citizenship advisory firm Henley & Partners reports that interest in Citizenship
Investment Programs (CIPs) jumped more than 46% each month since the pandemic
began. And they’ve seen a whopping 208% increase in interest from Americans.

“We’ve always had clients out of the U.S., but more recently, it’s by far our single biggest
jurisdiction of new clients. It’s bigger than any individual emerging market,” says a
Henley spokesperson.

The various (and best) ways to acquire a second or even third citizenship

The quickest and easiest ways to obtain an EU passport that allows you to live and
work permanently in any of the 27 European Union countries.

The offices to contact with questions about all passport and citizenship documents.

The two strikingly beautiful Caribbean island nations that offer to sell you a quick
path to citizenship (if you can foot the cost) and visa-free travel to 156 nations, strict
banking privacy, and 0 taxes on personal income. (page 196)

How making a $100,000 contribution to an infrastructure program could get you a


valuable passport that allows you British Commonwealth citizenship and visa-free
travel to more than 141 countries and territories, including the UK and Hong Kong.
(page 132)

And much, much more…

Importantly, you’ll discover why you should want...and, in fact, may need...a second
passport in the first place, and you’ll be pointed to the best countries (including for
fastest and easiest procurement) to apply for and obtain citizenship.

And if you have a specific country in mind where you’d particularly like to live, work, or
invest in the future, you’re sure to find all the information you need. The book offers
detailed coverage of the immigration process, rights and obligations of 82 countries!

Some of the Best and Easiest Places to Obtain


Citizenship
As I mentioned, there are plenty of countries to consider for your second citizenship. It
really depends on your personal situation...your motivations and future plans. THE
PASSPORT BOOK is designed to help you focus and direct your energies productively, and
to see what is realistic for you and your situation.

You may be considering an overseas retirement, in that case, you’ll be delighted to hear
that some of the best countries to retire to also are some of the best countries from
which to obtain full citizenship:

Ensure Your Safety and


Security Now
In 2020, more than 91% of the world’s population was living in a country with wide-
reaching travel restrictions because of the coronavirus. That’s according to the
esteemed Pew Research Center. Unfortunately, that could happen again at any time. A
second passport gives you options you otherwise wouldn’t have.

Spain, Ireland, Italy, and more. There are a dozen countries where you can get a
second passport by bloodline...by showing that your parents, grandparents, or in
some cases even great-grandparents were born in or were citizens of these
countries. And remember, with an EU passport, you can more freely move about and
live in any EU country. (Explained in Part I and detailed in individual county chapters)

Panama. Start with a very easy-to-obtain residence visa and in 5 years, you can
apply for citizenship. You don’t even need to spend significant amounts of time
there while you go through the process. Plus, Panama is a great place to live or
retire, with a very low cost of living. In Ecuador, Belize, Mexico, Uruguay, and other
top retirement destinations, it takes a similar amount of time to qualify for
citizenship.

The Caribbean. Many of these island nations offer citizenship for a hefty
investment. So do the islands of Cyprus and Malta in the EU.

THE PASSPORT BOOK: The Complete Guide to Offshore Residence, Dual Citizenship and
Second Passports spells out what you need to know and puts you on the path to getting
the second passport that’s best for your personal situation.

Even if your eventual goal is to simply travel overseas, you’ll want THE PASSPORT BOOK
in your library. If, though, your future plans include living, investing, or banking overseas,
you must have this book.

I’ve already touched on some of the critical and time-sensitive intelligence that Bob
shares in this important book. Here are a few more specifics:

The difference between citizenship and residence status...what “naturalization”


means...and the important issues to consider when acquiring a second passport.
(page 16)

Which countries require you to renounce your citizenship when applying for dual
nationality and which do not. (The U.S. does not require this, as affirmed by the
Supreme Court, page 21)

The country that’s ranked (as of 2021) as having the world’s best economy, along
with one of the strongest currencies, a transparent legal system, exceptional
infrastructure, efficient capital markets, and low corporate tax rates. (page 606)

Two countries that offer particularly attractive fast-track residency and citizenship
programs and a low cost of living for retirees on a fixed budget. (page 138, 320)

In fact, to that last point, this latest version of the book focuses on the world’s best
retirement destinations, including affordable quality healthcare, personal safety, low
taxes, and more.

As author Bob Bauman says, a second passport in one of the world’s best retirement
havens “may entitle you to special benefits, tax breaks, discounts on healthcare,
prescription drugs, and lower prices for travel and entertainment.

“Those who make the effort to qualify as citizens of their chosen retirement country find
greater acceptance and respect from locals, plus the full government benefits enjoyed by
their local neighbours.”

If you’re looking to retire overseas, that’s an additional reason to add this book to your
research library.
