Citizenship-by-New-Identity Program for 2025: Offering Freedom, Security, and Opportunity
VANCOUVER, British Columbia – In a world grappling with geopolitical uncertainty, rising nationalism, and increased mobility restrictions, Amicus International Consulting has responded with a groundbreaking program: Citizenship with a New Identity. This initiative offers individuals worldwide the opportunity to obtain a second passport legally, without multimillion-dollar investments, by leveraging their ancestry or cultural heritage.
As one of the pioneers of second citizenship services in North America, Amicus International Consulting has expanded its offerings to nearly 98 countries, making it possible for clients not just to obtain a second passport, but to rebuild a complete legal identity and future.
'A second citizenship today is not a luxury—it's a necessity,' said Alexander Jean-Baptiste, CEO of Amicus International. 'Our clients seek mobility, protection, and freedom in a volatile world. We provide the legal path to achieve it.'
The Rising Demand for New Identities and Second Citizenship
The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated global demand for second passports, revealing vulnerabilities in mobility and safety once taken for granted. Coupled with Brexit, shifting immigration policies, and the 'America First' agenda, many high-net-worth individuals (HNWIS) and professionals began seeking 'Plan B' citizenship.
According to Knight Frank's 2025 Wealth Report, 24% of very high-net-worth individuals (VHNWIS)—those with assets exceeding $30 million—are actively pursuing a second passport.
Case Study: Pandemic Realizations Spark New Identity Demand
In 2020, Silicon Valley entrepreneur Jason Fields found himself stranded during lockdowns with limited travel options. Partnering with Amicus, he traced his Polish ancestry and secured EU citizenship by 2023, allowing unrestricted travel across the Schengen Zone—shielding his business operations from future disruptions.

: Approval timelines vary. For instance, Italian citizenship may take , while Irish ancestry claims may finalize in . Cultural Verification: For programs like Portugal's Sephardic citizenship, community endorsements and scholarly verifications are required.
Case Study: Overcoming Bureaucratic Barriers
One Amicus client pursuing Czech nationality was initially denied when it was discovered his ancestral birthplace had shifted into modern Ukraine. After appeal, re-documentation, and support from local genealogists, his citizenship was eventually approved.
Digital Nomadism and the Future of Global Citizenship
The rise of digital nomad visas and remote work hubs globally makes a second passport even more valuable. Countries like Portugal, Croatia, and Thailand now offer remote work residency programs tied to second citizenship eligibility.
'A second passport is your key to joining the global economy as a free agent,' said Linda Martinez, Legal Director at Amicus.
Ethical Considerations in Citizenship by Investment and Ancestry
While critics argue that citizenship programs commodify nationality, Amicus emphasizes respect for legal processes and authentic ancestral ties. Their strict vetting ensures that applicants not only qualify by law but also engage meaningfully with their new nation.
'Citizenship should be earned, respected, and honored,' said Jean-Baptiste. 'We help our clients become contributing citizens—not just paper holders.'

US-EU trade deal wards off further escalation but will raise costs for companies, consumers
FRANKFURT, Germany (AP) — President Donald Trump and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen have announced a sweeping trade deal that imposes 15% tariffs on most European goods, warding off Trump's threat of a 30% rate if no deal had been reached by Aug. 1. The tariffs, or import taxes, paid when Americans buy European products could raise prices for U.S. consumers and dent profits for European companies and their partners who bring goods into the country. Here are some things to know about the trade deal between the United States and the European Union: What's in the agreement? Trump and von der Leyen's announcement, made during Trump's visit to one of his golf courses in Scotland, leaves many details to be filled in. The headline figure is a 15% tariff rate on 'the vast majority' of European goods brought into the U.S., including cars, computer chips and pharmaceuticals. It's lower than the 20% Trump initially proposed, and lower than his threats of 50% and then 30%. Von der Leyen said the two sides agreed on zero tariffs on both sides for a range of 'strategic' goods: Aircraft and aircraft parts, certain chemicals, semiconductor equipment, certain agricultural products, and some natural resources and critical raw materials. Specifics were lacking. She said the two sides 'would keep working' to add more products to the list. Additionally, the EU side would purchase what Trump said was $750 billion (638 billion euros) worth of natural gas, oil and nuclear fuel to replace Russian energy supplies, and Europeans would invest an additional $600 billion (511 billion euros) in the U.S. What's not in the deal? Trump said the 50% U.S. tariff on imported steel would remain; von der Leyen said the two sides agreed to further negotiations to fight a global steel glut, reduce tariffs and establish import quotas — that is, set amounts that can be imported, often at a lower rate. Trump said pharmaceuticals were not included in the deal. Von der Leyen said the pharmaceuticals issue was 'on a separate sheet of paper' from Sunday's deal. Where the $600 billion for additional investment would come from was not specified. And von der Leyen said that when it came to farm products, the EU side made clear that 'there were tariffs that could not be lowered,' without specifying which products. What's the impact? The 15% rate removes Trump's threat of a 30% tariff. It's still much higher than the average tariff before Trump came into office of around 1%, and higher than Trump's minimum 10% baseline tariff. Higher tariffs, or import taxes, on European goods mean sellers in the U.S. would have to either increase prices for consumers — risking loss of market share — or swallow the added cost in terms of lower profits. The higher tariffs are expected to hurt export earnings for European firms and slow the economy. The 10% baseline applied while the deal was negotiated was already sufficiently high to make the European Union's executive commission cut its growth forecast for this year from 1.3% to 0.9%. Von der Leyen said the 15% rate was 'the best we could do' and credited the deal with maintaining access to the U.S. market and providing 'stability and predictability for companies on both sides.' What is some of the reaction to the deal? German Chancellor Friedrich Merz welcomed the deal which avoided 'an unnecessary escalation in transatlantic trade relations" and said that 'we were able to preserve our core interests,' while adding that 'I would have very much wished for further relief in transatlantic trade.' The Federation of German Industries was blunter. "Even a 15% tariff rate will have immense negative effects on export-oriented German industry," said Wolfgang Niedermark, a member of the federation's leadership. While the rate is lower than threatened, "the big caveat to today's deal is that there is nothing on paper, yet," said Carsten Brzeski, global chief of macro at ING bank. 'With this disclaimer in mind and at face value, today's agreement would clearly bring an end to the uncertainty of recent months. An escalation of the US-EU trade tensions would have been a severe risk for the global economy," Brzeski said. 'This risk seems to have been avoided.' What about car companies? Asked if European carmakers could still sell cars at 15%, von der Leyen said the rate was much lower than the current 27.5%. That has been the rate under Trump's 25% tariff on cars from all countries, plus the preexisting U.S. car tariff of 2.5%. The impact is likely to be substantial on some companies, given that automaker Volkswagen said it suffered a 1.3 billion euro ($1.5 billion) hit to profit in the first half of the year from the higher tariffs. Mercedes-Benz dealers in the U.S. have said they are holding the line on 2025 model year prices 'until further notice.' The German automaker has a partial tariff shield because it makes 35% of the Mercedes-Benz vehicles sold in the U.S. in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, but the company said it expects prices to undergo 'significant increases' in coming years. What were the issues dividing the two sides? Before Trump returned to office, the U.S. and the EU maintained generally low tariff levels in what is the largest bilateral trading relationship in the world, with some 1.7 trillion euros ($2 trillion) in annual trade. Together the U.S. and the EU have 44% of the global economy. The U.S. rate averaged 1.47% for European goods, while the EU's averaged 1.35% for American products, according to the Bruegel think tank in Brussels. Trump has complained about the EU's 198 billion-euro trade surplus in goods, which shows Americans buy more from European businesses than the other way around, and has said the European market is not open enough for U.S.-made cars. However, American companies fill some of the trade gap by outselling the EU when it comes to services such as cloud computing, travel bookings, and legal and financial services. And some 30% of European imports are from American-owned companies, according to the European Central Bank.

Shuttered Albany restaurant popular with NY elite, politicians to reopen as members-only social club
An Albany restaurant that used to feature a clientele list teeming with some of the most powerful politicians in New York is set to reopen as a private members' dining club in late 2025. The La Serre restaurant closed in 2020 after it was unable to bounce back from the COVID-19 lockdown, with much of its business at the time relying on large gatherings like banquets and receptions, founder Anne Trimble told the Times Union. The French-based restaurant originally opened in 1977 and quickly became a favorite among New York's political elite on both sides of the aisle during its run, including former Govs. Hugh Carey, Mario Cuomo, George Pataki and Andrew Cuomo. Advertisement Albany's La Serre restaurant will be taken over by an exclusive politician nightclub. Albany Times Union via Getty Ima Now, Mayor Eric Adams' spokesman Todd Shapiro is looking to revamp the historic mainstay alongside Greg Caggiano and Todd Miller of the law firm Miller & Caggiano. 'This is going to be the most important political and social venue north of Manhattan. We're bringing back the old-school power — but with a modern twist: young, trendsetting, high-end, and unapologetically political,' Shapiro said. Advertisement Their vision centers around elevating the old restaurant's history by making it a hotspot for 'high-level networking, private events, and political strategy' while filling the space of a much-needed 'contemporary social anchor,' according to a press release. They plan to make it highly selective, primarily limiting membership to public leaders, media influencers, creatives and civic entrepreneurs, according to the release. La Serre closed in 2020 after it was unable to recover from the COVID-19 lockdown. Albany Times Union via Getty Ima The restaurant will also include a secluded 'War Room' — which shares its name with another restaurant owned by Shapiro — that will be reserved for politicians' off-the-record meetings. Advertisement The new and improved La Serre will include a rooftop terrace and renovated interior, likely shifting away from the upscale, green leather-laden atmosphere of the old restaurant and gravitating towards something more 'clubby,' per the release. Trimble founded the restaurant alongside her late husband, Geoffrey, who passed away in 2005. She managed the restaurant with her son, John, up through its closure, the Times Union reported.
