A good heuristic I’ve noticed is that if you hear someone say or write “collecting passports” to refer to applying for 2nd or 3rd citizenship, you’re probably listening to a travel writer or influencer.

In other words, someone who’s NOT an expert in the business of…getting people 2nd and 3rd citizenship.

We don’t talk like that because experts know passport ≠ citizenship.

A passport is a travel document that’s usually (but not always) proof of citizenship. Huge difference. Not semantic.

Citizenship is what we get people and it comes with a whole lot more legal rights and obligations than just a travel document.

Conflation of passport and citizenship is like a big red siren over someone’s head saying “I only understand this stuff superficially, if at all.”

That’s fine for newbies learning about #selfsovereignty but not fine for people trying to hold themselves out as experts or citizenship “consultants.”
