If you are interesting buying a second passport through citizenship by investment schemes, we have some important advice for you.
As most of the countries have tightened immigration and border controls, it doesn’t makes sense buying a passport from a country and you dont know where the country on the map. Sometimes border authorities can ask this question to make sure you hold a valid passport and not fake passport.
Besides it takes only a small effort to have some knowledge about the country where you are citizen of, including culture, language and traditions. You will also need to have some basic knowledge about population, GDP, widely spoken language and currency used and common flight routes.
It is true that most caribbean countries don’t require you to visit for passport, you also have some responsibility as a citizen. Citizenship is pretty much useless if you don’t establish a genuine link with the country.
Don’t hold citizenship of an imaginary country.
