There are some professions where having a 2nd British passport can be essential and invaluable. Quickly, to make the point, this is not referring to a replacement or a renewal, this article is concerned with the benefits of having an entirely usable and legal second British passport. Professions which deal with a lot of travelling, potentially to countries with complicated visa applications, can benefit from this option, which is an important point, as the Passport Agency requires reasoning behind all applications for 2nd passports.
As a Journalist have you ever thought about the benefits of obtaining a Second British Passport? The advantages are numerous and with Rapid British Passports assisting you each step of the way, the process has never been easier or quicker. The obvious benefits for a journalist include the ease of travel having a 2nd passport allows you. Whilst travelling between regions, especially those in the Middle East who often have long and convoluted visa process’, the luxury of the 2nd passport allows you to apply for visas with one passport and travel freely with the other whilst your application is processed. As a journalist one of the worst case scenario’s would be having to stay in one location due to passport issues whilst the news takes place in another region.
A second and finer point to why a 2nd British Passport can benefit journalists is that countries that are hostile to each other often frown upon stamps and visas from opposing countries. For example, you may find it difficult to enter some Arab countries with an Israeli stamp in your passport. Having two passports allows you the flexibility of picking and choosing which passport to enter which country with and eradicating any potential problems.
Travelling outside of the EU, in particular to countries whose visas take up entire passport pages is also an issue we encounter daily. Once again however this is a hurdle that is easily cleared by obtaining your second British passport. As is the law in the UK, once a UK passport has been filled, a new one is required before travelling again.
