Interest in Americans obtaining second passports and emigrating surged after Donald Trump's reëlection, with many actively applying and some relocating permanently.
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.
