Detailed description

As a rule, each person may only have one valid passport.
 
If you can provide a plausible and important reason why you need two passports, you can be issued with a second passport. This may be the case if

  • You travel a lot for professional reasons and need a second passport due to delays in obtaining visas.
  • You travel to a country and are likely to be refused entry because your passport contains entry stamps from certain other countries.

  • You can give an important reason why you need a second passport.
