Get a Second Passport
In May of 2013, EFAM published a popular article on getting a second citizenship, http://www.escapefromamerica.com/2013/05/why-would-an-american-even-consider-a-second-citizenship/. We received much interest from our readers for more info on second passports, so this month we decided to offer more detailed resources on how to obtain one, and some specific requirements of some of the easiest countries to work with on this process. Each jurisdiction has different costs, requirements, and timeframes, and these could change at any time. Do your due diligence, get the correct info, and make sure to work with a trusted agency or lawyer skilled in second citizenships.
Paraguay
