Having a second citizenship can be a matter of security and even save lives
Obtaining foreign citizenship goes far beyond comfort, status or travel facilities. In some cases, it can represent a true legal safety net — and even a decisive factor in saving lives.
Dual citizenship is not only a document that facilitates rapid entry into other countries, but a powerful strategic asset in crisis situations. Read the full article on here (in Hebrew).
What can a second citizenship offer?
- Protection and diplomatic support: In international conflicts or risky situations, different countries can act in defense of their citizens, ensuring negotiations, consular assistance and even strategic interventions that can make all the difference.
- Legal security: In addition to diplomatic protection, the second passport guarantees access to consular services, defense in international legal cases and greater stability in migration processes.
- Real opportunities: From subsidized education to expanded access to the job market and advanced health and welfare systems, foreign citizenship opens doors that are not always available to foreigners.
It is not a privilege for a few: Many people can be eligible, whether through descent (as in Portugal, Spain, Poland and other countries), marriage, investments or professional routes.
The path may be complex, but the return is a security for the future.
Why act now?
In a globalized world where conflicts and crises can happen at any time, having a legal “plan B” is a smart way to protect yourself and your family. It’s not just about travel plans, but about ensuring an essential right: your safety.
