A businessman can easily attain foreign stocks, reserved shares and mutual funds just by providing required affidavits and copy of the second passport as a proof of citizenship. This helps in accruing more assets for his firm.

Investment immigration helps granting the privilege to a foreign national to legally carry out business transactions and in certain cases a second citizenship gives few additional benefits, perks and some liberties to the passport holder.

A second citizenship also ensures a risk free travel especially if the relationship between two countries is not very pleasant albeit there are business dealing and opportunities which makes you travel a lot to such countries. In such a case a second passport brings the inherent benefit of not establishing the travel details of certain countries in one of your passports.
