UAE Second Passport Holders are in a Dilemma: Many Left Precarious

Read Latest news only on Times of Dubai

July 7, 2025 | Dubai, UAE: Increasing unease has gripped thousands of UAE residents who have invested in UAE second passports via citizenship-by-investment programs. These have been appealing to those who are after visa-free travel, opportunities to do business, and everything else that comes with greater flexibility of lifestyle, but at a time when world situations are changing and potentially changing policies, this is an unsteady time for individuals. 

 The Ambiguity Of a Second Passport 

Residents of the UAE who invested in a UAE second passport are now uncertain about the future of citizenship-based investment programs and whether their investments are secure. Questions have arisen about the future viability of the programs and the implications this may have for the long-term security of their citizenship status, residency rights, and travel privileges, thus fueling concerns over the dependability of their second passport and the stability of their future.

UAE second passport

Many people in the past had been looking for a UAE second passport, with the country being a popular place for a citizenship-by-investment program from different countries. For example, many people would take advantage of a citizenship-by-investment program from a country in the Caribbean, where their money could buy them a UAE second passport. 

These citizenship  programs allow people to purchase a second passport through a significant investment in the country’s economy by way of either purchasing real estate, starting a business in the country, or through a donation to the national development fund.

New Doubts Emerge

Among UAE residents, popular destinations for a second passport include Caribbean countries such as St. Kitts and Nevis, Antigua and Barbuda and Dominica – and also European countries including Malta and Greece.  Each of these countries has particular benefits, including visa-free entry into many other nations, better business opportunities, and greater security.

Additionally, an increasing number of UAE residents are reassessing their investment decisions and considering the risks and benefits of holding a UAE second passport in today’s uncertain world.

In weighing these considerations, they are evaluating the ramifications a dual citizenship may have on their overall taxes, residency requirements, and return on investment; while also considering and weighing the benefits associated with their potential freedom of travel, business benefits, security and safety considerations, and whether or not any of those benefits are worth the costs of holding and complexity of obtaining and keeping a UAE second passport.

Nevertheless, the environment is changing. The shifts in the global political climate, economic conditions, and security risks have led to increasing scrutiny of citizenship by investment programs. Some countries are rethinking their programs, and potential policy shifts could undermine the benefits and security routes available through the UAE second passport.

Citizenship in Crisis

For residents of the UAE who purchased second passports as investments, the feeling of uncertainty is rife. Many have invested a great deal of money, often hundreds of thousands of dollars, to obtain stability and security, and now face the prospect of losing not only the benefits of the UAE second passport but maybe something worse.

In light of these difficulties, we recommend that UAE residents stay alert and seek professional help to make sure their investments are safe. This way, individuals can stay ahead of changing norms and make better assessments regarding their journey to a second passport, which could involve routine assessments of their investment portfolios, being aware of policy changes in the investments, and engaging experts in citizenship-by-investment programs. 

Moreover, by being proactive, UAE residents can dampen risks and bolster the opportunities that second passports afford, securing a more stable and secure future for themselves and their families.And thus can get away with this uncertainty at the earliest.
