Citizenship by Descent (Jus Sanguinis)

Claim a second passport through your ancestry — European or Latin American

Many of our clients combine a United Arab Emirates residency with a citizenship claim through their ancestry. European countries like Italy, Ireland, Romania, Poland, Hungary, and Croatia offer citizenship by descent — some with no generational limit. Latin American countries including Uruguay, Panama, and Paraguay also recognize jus sanguinis. An EU passport unlocks visa-free travel to 170+ countries; a LATAM passport provides regional mobility and dual citizenship options.
