Second Passport Application Process

Second Passport Application Process

Step 1: Client Assessment
As a first step, we assess the client’s motivations and needs to select the best suitable Citizenship by Investment or residency program. We ensure that the client’s nationality and personal circumstances allow them to apply for the desired program, otherwise we find an alternative.

At this stage, we prequalify the client’s citizenship application thoroughly and request a copy of the passport to perform a security check. An application may be rejected due to criminal offenses, financial fraud, illegitimate sources of funds, or previous immigration issues.
If the case presents difficulties, we pre-screen it with the Government beforehand to obtain their approval in principle. At this stage, the client proceeds to sign our Retainer Agreement and we officially start working on the application.

Step 2: Documents Preparation
We assign a specialized Document Officer to each case who helps the client with their document collection. We can obtain most documents on behalf of the client. At this stage, the Document Officer prepares a personalized checklist for the client and family members with a detailed list of documents required to prepare a successful application. Some of the basic documents include certified copies of the client’s passport and national ID, birth certificate, and police certificate.

Step 3: Submission to the Government
After investigations carried out by the Due Diligence agency are finalized, they issue a report which is reviewed by the Government. At this stage, further support documents may be requested by the government to clarify certain points which came up during the background checks.
Due Diligence typically takes two to three months, although some countries offer an accelerated process for an additional Government fee and the procedure is shortened to approximately five weeks.

Step 4: Government Approval and Payment
Once the Government is satisfied with the documents and the evidence presented, they issue an official Approval Letter. At this stage, the client is requested to transfer the investment and any applicable Government fee.
Once the client transfers the required payments, we request a copy of the swift issued by the client’s bank to ensure the Government can locate the funds without delays. We liaise directly with the relevant local banks to present all required documents to clear the funds in a timely manner.

Step 5: Citizenship Certificates and Passports
Citizenship Certificates are issued approximately one month after the Government confirms receipt of the funds. The Citizenship Certificate must be sealed and signed by a Government authority.
Once the Citizenship Certificates are issued, we proceed to apply for the passports. Passports are issued by the Passport Office, which is a different government entity. The processing time for the passports may vary depending on the country.

It is important to note that the process of obtaining a second passport may vary depending on the country and the specific program. Additionally, the requirements and fees are subject to change without notice. As such, it is advisable to work with a reputable and experienced Citizenship Advisory Firm to navigate the process and increase the chances of a successful application.
