There are numerous benefits to having a second passport. Dual citizenship increases the numbers of countries in which you can live and work at (especially if your second passport is in the Schengen area). If you are worried about the future of your original country, it also gives you a “backup” country to move to, should you need it. A second passport can also open up many new countries around the world that you will be able to travel to visa-free such as the Schengen Zone, United Kingdom, Singapore, Hong Kong and many others.
