Easiest (And Best) Second Passports Index
Until you have a second citizenship, you may not appreciate the feeling of freedom it gives you to not have to rely on one country’s government. Essentially, by having multiple nationalities, you’re no longer the property of one government and become a sovereign individual instead.
Most indices rank countries based on their power and travel access. Interesting, maybe, but typically useless to the average American because the average North American has no way to obtain those nationalities.
We’ve taken a different approach to other such indices. Ours doesn’t list every passport in the world by visa-free travel as that’s relatively pointless for you as a reader. Instead, our Index is meant to point you in the direction of countries you may have not considered before and that are more accessible than you’d have thought.

Overseas Haven Reports
Eastern Seaboard, Thailand | Overseas Haven Report
About two hours south of Thailand’s capital city, Bangkok, is the Gulf of Thailand and the seaside resort city of Pattaya. Veer left to head south or right to go north onto Highway 3 (also known as Sukhumvit Road), and you’ll be cruising along the Eastern Seaboard of Thailand.
Before the 1960s, this stretch of coastline was a collection of typical Thai fishing villages harvesting the abundant catch found in the Gulf of Thailand. But in the late 60s through the late 70s, the region became a base of operations for the U.S. military during the Vietnam War.
Today, parts of the Eastern Seaboard are still sleepy little fishing villages that seem frozen in time. Other parts will shock visitors with their modern infrastructure and switched-on international flair. Therein lies the charm of the Eastern Seaboard: laidback or high-energy… old school or high-tech… there’s something for everyone.

Porto, Portugal | Portugal Special Report
When a region and a wine share the same name, you can imagine the passion involved in the product…
The history of this fabulous city—the second-most prominent in Portugal—is closer to that of an ensemble of small villages, its landscape formed by generations of seafaring and trade.
Some of the oldest parts of the city are being totally revamped, so it’s common to see infrastructure works underway as you walk the streets these days…
Although shrouded in resident fog that contrasts with the colorful people that live here, the gloom adds a sense of charm and mystery while simultaneously illuminating the city… it adds personality and creates harmony among the many villages that compose it.
With a broad mix of cultures and styles that can be seen from one street to another, it’s no surprise people have a strong sense of belonging to this special little piece of coastline.
Globally known for its exquisite port wine and surrounded by the enchanting Douro Valley (with a population of roughly 240,000 in the metropolitan area), this is Porto, Portugal.

Praia da Luz, Portugal | Portugal Special Report
Most folks don’t travel much further west than Lagos when they visit the Algarve, which is a shame. Some of the most spectacular beaches and prettiest towns are nestled along the furthest southwest and western Algarve coastlines. One such town is welcoming Praia da Luz, known for its excellent beachfront.
Luz wraps itself around a picturesque sandy bay and was originally a small fishing village. It’s located in the western Algarve, one hour west of Faro airport. Sandwiched between the towns of Lagos (6 kms) and Burgau (5 kms), it’s ideally situated for exploring the region’s best sights.

Sao Bras de Alportel | Portugal Special Report
At an ancient crossroads in the hills of the eastern Algarve, the town of São Brás de Alportel has a rare claim to fame in inland Portugal: its population is steadily growing. It has bucked the trend of depopulation, which has taken out many of the Algarve’s smaller villages.
São Brás is an inland municipality of some 11,000 people. A palpable sense of community, astute political leadership, and some key practical considerations have set it on a winning path. Today, its population has a growing international flair.
São Brás is not a prime Algarve beauty spot, but it has a small, scenic old quarter with a church and narrow, cobbled streets, plus it’s only 15 minutes to the sea. Discover São Brás’ little gems in this Portugal Special Report.

It’s home to a population of about 11,000, made up of many Portuguese people and expats from across the world. This is the real Algarve—before tourism captured and transformed so much of this area. Living here is like stepping back in time…
