"Having one passport is a luxury that not everyone in the world gets, but having more than one passport is an even bigger privilege. Citizenship in multiple countries means more opportunities, easier travel, and the chance to live abroad legally and efficiently as a dual citizen. The number of American citizens seeking to apply for a second passport has increased year-over-year since 2024, with a rise of over 183% in second citizenship inquiries from U.S. citizens, according to a Henley & Partners report."
"But how exactly do you go about earning citizenship in another country? Some countries are easier than others, especially if you meet specific qualifications like having grandparents who were born elsewhere or the ability to invest in real estate abroad. The following countries offer relatively straightforward paths for foreigners seeking a second passport - and some of them are actually relatively easy to obtain."
Having more than one passport offers expanded opportunities, easier travel, and legal ability to live abroad as a dual citizen. Inquiries from U.S. citizens for second citizenship rose over 183% year-over-year since 2024. Multiple pathways to second citizenship exist, including descent, naturalization after residence, and investment programs. Italy and Poland offer citizenship by descent for those who can document ancestry or blood ties. Portugal provides a wide range of visas and residence permits that can lead to naturalization, often requiring language and cultural tests. Spain offers citizenship through descent under qualifying conditions.
