Why is a Second Passport Needed?

Countries in the world that have diplomatic or political problems among themselves, reflect these problems to the people who travel. For example, if you have an Israeli visa or Israeli entry in your passport, Iran will not let you in. You do not need to have entered, it is enough to have a visa.

One of the most problematic countries in this regard is Israel, and if you have an Israeli visa in your passport, countries such as Iran, Lebanon and the United Arab Emirates do not allow you to enter the border. In fact, I have never experienced it, but there are situations where you can't even get on a plane from the airport from Turkey. To get rid of such situations, the second passport is your life saver.

Another reason why we have to get a second passport; For frequent travellers, let's say you gave your passport to the consulate for a visa application for a country, but you have another travel plan at that time. For example, the Egyptian consulate confiscates your passport for almost two months, unless you state otherwise. In the meantime, you can use your second passport to avoid canceling your other travels.

Under normal circumstances, when you renew your passport, they will puncture your old passport and give it to you, you cannot use it again. In the case of a second passport, both of your passports are valid.

Second Passport Fee

The fee for the second passport is the same as the normal passport fee.

If it is not before busy periods such as holidays or summer holidays, your second passport will arrive at your address within a few working days. Even in busy periods, it takes a maximum of 4-5 working days.
