Summary:
A Semafor article published on March 23, 2025, reports that a growing number of Americans are actively pursuing second passports, motivated by political instability. While many Americans are not yet moving, affluent Americans are seeking the option. Half the world’s countries offer visas or passport pathways based on investments or financial contributions so many affluent Americans are beginning to act on those options. An immigration advisor quoted in the article stated that “I never would have imagined my No. 1 source market would become America.”
The article refers to seeking a second passport as a “hedg[e]” on uncertainty.
