Get our free guide to getting a second passport: https://truewealthshow.com/download-guide-second-passport/ Is one passport still enough in 2026? Alex Recouso is the co-founder and CEO of CitizenX, a firm helping high-net-worth individuals build citizenship and residency portfolios. In this episode, Alex explains why more wealthy families are looking beyond a single passport, how citizenship can become a liability rather than an asset, and why he believes a second passport should be treated like insurance: something you need to secure before you actually need it. You’ll learn: • Why relying on one passport creates a “single point of failure” • Where wealthy Americans and Europeans are looking for a Plan B • The difference between citizenship, residency and tax residency • How citizenship-by-investment actually works • Why some passports are becoming more valuable while others are losing value • How to build a passport portfolio around your family, wealth and business • The biggest mistakes people make when buying a second citizenship • Why Alex says you “can’t buy insurance once the house is on fire” Alex also breaks down specific options around the world, from the Caribbean and Europe to Africa and the Middle East, including El Salvador’s $1 million citizenship programme and the changing routes available to wealthy families. If you’ve already built financial freedom, this conversation is about the next layer: creating greater optionality over where you live, travel, invest and build your future.
