VANCOUVER, B.C. – With rising global demand for privacy, mobility, and financial freedom, Amicus International Consulting has released a comprehensive guide highlighting the easiest countries to obtain second citizenship and legally create a new identity.
The firm, renowned for guiding individuals through legal identity transformations, offers this advisory as part of its ongoing mission to help clients safely and lawfully disappear or start over.
Whether due to political unrest, financial challenges, or a desire to safeguard one’s privacy, more individuals are pursuing dual citizenship to unlock new opportunities and shield themselves from increasing government surveillance and instability.
The Legal Path to a New Identity
A new legal identity can offer protection from harassment, a fresh start after financial hardship, or an exit strategy from regions with oppressive regimes or excessive taxation.
Amicus International Consulting helps clients navigate identity change through lawful channels by acquiring second citizenship in countries that welcome new residents via ancestry, investment, or naturalization.
“Dual citizenship isn’t about evading responsibility—it’s about gaining sovereignty over your life,” said a senior advisor at Amicus. “The right second passport can mean the difference between restriction and freedom, scrutiny and discretion.”
Top Legal Methods to Gain Citizenship and a New Identity
- Citizenship by Ancestry
Countries like Italy, Ireland, Lithuania, and Poland offer citizenship to individuals who can prove lineage through parents, grandparents, or great-grandparents. This process is often inexpensive and doesn’t require relocation.
Case Study: John (Ancestral Citizenship in Italy)
By proving his Italian lineage, John obtained citizenship within a year. The new passport granted him access to EU mobility, business registration, and a chance to start with a new name and narrative.
- Citizenship by Naturalization
Some nations offer accelerated citizenship through residency:
- Paraguay: After three years of maintaining a USD 500,000 deposit
- Panama: Via the Friendly Nations Visa after five years
- Armenia: Through real estate investment or academic study
Case Study: Lisa (Naturalization in Paraguay)
Lisa deposited $500,000 in a Paraguayan bank and lived there for three years. Shortly thereafter, she was granted citizenship, which provided her with a neutral new identity and global travel access to 143 countries.
- Citizenship by Marriage
Countries like the U.S., Canada, and Ireland offer citizenship pathways for spouses of citizens. While this route is legal, Amicus advises caution: sham marriages can lead to legal penalties and deportation.
- Citizenship by Investment (CBI)
Caribbean nations such as Dominica, St. Lucia, and St. Kitts & Nevis provide legal citizenship in exchange for a financial contribution or real estate investment. These programs often take only 3–6 months and require minimal residency, if any.
Case Study: Michael (Investment in Dominica)
Michael invested $500,000 in Dominica’s economic diversification fund. Six months later, he received his passport, which offered him visa-free travel to over 139 countries and a legally constructed new identity.

- Vanuatu – 30 days (USD 530,000 donation)
- Dominica – 3–6 months (USD 500,000 investment)
- St. Lucia – 2–3 months (USD 500,000)

Special Mention: Israel and the Law of Return
Under Israel’s Law of Return, anyone of Jewish heritage or those who have converted to Judaism can obtain citizenship quickly. While geopolitical considerations apply, Israel remains one of the most straightforward places for Jews seeking immediate naturalization.
Top Reasons to Seek Dual Citizenship and a New Identity
- Increased Travel Freedom: A second passport often provides visa-free access to 100+ countries.
- Tax Efficiency: Many countries do not tax foreign-sourced income, especially if no residency is required.
- Asset Protection: Citizenship in a privacy-friendly jurisdiction helps shield financial records from home-country scrutiny.
- Personal Safety: Victims of political persecution or whistleblowers gain protection through neutral documentation.
- Business Expansion: Dual citizenship can unlock investment opportunities across jurisdictions.
- Exit Strategy: Having a legal alternative identity can be a life-saving asset in times of conflict or authoritarian crackdowns.
Risks of Fake Passports and the Dark Web
Amicus strongly discourages using illegal marketplaces for document acquisition. Fake passports or ID documents purchased through the dark web:
- Often fail biometric verification
- May result in instant detention or imprisonment
- Are traceable by international law enforcement
- Compromise safety through fraud and identity theft
“Creating a legal new identity is not just more secure—it’s the only sustainable path,” emphasized the Amicus spokesperson. “We have successfully transitioned hundreds of individuals to new lives with integrity and discretion.”
Case Study: Sarah (Anonymity via Vanuatu Citizenship)
A high-profile whistleblower, Sarah, needed immediate anonymity. Through Amicus, she invested in Vanuatu’s CBI program and received her new passport in under 45 days. With her digital footprint scrubbed and her travel freedom restored, Sarah lives securely under legal protection.
