A Second Passport Solves Your Travel Hassles

I stood on the sidewalk outside Tan Son Nhat Airport in Ho Chi Minh City, a.k.a. Saigon.

Should I wait?

Should I take a taxi to the hotel?

Maybe find a street café serving the city’s famous banh mi sandwiches, the ultimate Euro-Asian crossover food?

I decided to go to the hotel.

It hadn’t been a long flight from Bangkok, but I thought it best to be near a telephone.

You see, the other members of my traveling party—all Americans—had been “detained” at the airport.

Although Vietnam and the United States were supposedly friends, not everyone in the Vietnamese bureaucracy saw things that way.

For some reason, the immigration folks had decided to go through my companions’ belongings with a fine-tooth comb.

Maybe the immigration officials hadn’t had enough of the country’s famed coffee and were feeling irritable.

I, however, was traveling on a South African passport.

The governments in Pretoria and Hanoi were real friends… so I was waved through with no hassles.

My South African second nationality has been handy on several occasions in my global travels.

Once on a research assignment on the Caribbean island of Dominica, I thought I’d lost my passports. After fruitless searching, I went to the British High Commission, where they promised to give me an emergency travel document first thing in the morning.

As a citizen of a Commonwealth country, I was entitled to British diplomatic assistance. (I found my passports later that night, safely tucked into the lining of my suitcase, where I’d hidden them late the night before.)

I’ve set foot in over 90 countries. Whether I travel on my US or South African passport depends on the status of the diplomatic relations between those countries and my destination. In Europe, I travel as a Yankee, since I don’t need a Schengen Zone visa. In most of the Third World, my green and gold South African document is more welcome.

If you’re looking to get a second passport of your own… there are several ways to go about it.

I explain all of them in a new special resource I’ve created—my Global Citizen Prosperity Blueprint.

You might be entitled to a second passport right now simply because of your ancestry… That’s something I go into detail on in my Global Citizen Prosperity Blueprint, which includes an interactive “Passport Qualifier” tool.

In certain parts of the world, you can make an investment to get citizenship and a second passport.

Most folks, however, will start the process toward getting a second passport by first getting a visa and residency overseas… And that’s also something I cover in depth and can help you with.

Your Path to Prosperity Overseas

I’m super-excited to be launching this service…

My Global Citizen Prosperity Blueprint is your complete guide to diversifying yourself internationally… Whether you’re looking for a second passport, or simply a “Plan B” residency (somewhere you can move when things take a turn for the worse at home).

Or, if you want to save on your taxes or grow your wealth outside the dollar… I’ve got you covered.

Having multiple citizenships and being a well-seasoned traveler is not the only experience I bring to the table…

I’m also an experienced researcher and consultant, with advanced degrees in economics, history, and political science.

I’m interested in more than the status of countries’ visa, immigration, and investment policies. I want to know the history behind them. That helps me evaluate how they’re likely to evolve in the future.

Is this a good place for an American to plant his flag? Or is the country’s policy framework too unpredictable?

Is the property market too good to be true, or is it a good bet for the long term?

If you’re going to pay more taxes in a foreign country, is it worth it? Will you get more in return than you pay?

Sign up for my Global Citizen Prosperity Blueprint and you’ll get much more than written information about these topics.

You’ll be able to sign up for a personal consultation with me any time you like.

I’ve helped numerous people think through the next steps in their own journey to global diversification. I’ve helped people get long-term residency in Europe. I’ve helped them set up offshore companies in low-tax jurisdictions. Above all, I’ve helped them avoid making mistakes that could cost them dearly down the line.

I think of myself first and foremost as a Global Citizen. I’ve fully embraced the possibilities of diversifying my income and my wealth.

I haven’t stopped being an American, as I was born; I’ve just added different bits and pieces of this big world to my portfolio as I’ve gone along.

If that’s something you see yourself doing soon… you owe it to yourself to take a look at my Global Citizen Prosperity Blueprint.
