VANCOUVER, B.C. — In an era of increasing digital surveillance, global biometric systems, and state-level tracking, maintaining personal privacy while travelling has become challenging.
Amicus International Consulting, a leading provider of privacy and identity transformation solutions, today announced the release of its updated 2025 strategic guide: “How to Travel Anonymously in 2025 and Beyond.”
The comprehensive document outlines legal and practical methods for individuals who require privacy protection, asset security, or new beginnings across international borders.
With more than a decade of expertise in legal identity change services, second citizenship acquisition, and anonymity consulting, Amicus International is sounding the alarm: Traveling anonymously in today’s digital world is not just difficult—it can be dangerous if done incorrectly. The organization’s guide serves as both a roadmap and a cautionary resource for those seeking lawful methods of traveling without detection.
The Growing Demand for Anonymous Travel Services
The demand for legitimate, anonymous travel services has surged as government agencies deploy increasingly advanced technologies, such as RFID chip tracking, biometric scanners, and AI-powered facial recognition systems.
“More people than ever are seeking ways to disappear, travel in secrecy, or protect their identity,” said a senior privacy advisor at Amicus International. “Some are escaping domestic violence.
Others are political refugees. And many are high-profile individuals concerned about surveillance, harassment, or theft.”
In 2024, Amicus International saw a 41% year-over-year increase in inquiries related to second passport services and legal identity changes for travel purposes. “It’s clear that anonymity is no longer a luxury for the privileged,” the advisor added. “It’s a necessity for many.”
Understanding the Surveillance Landscape
The report highlights how most individuals are unaware of how deeply governments can track travel patterns:
- RFID-embedded Passports: Nearly all modern passports include RFID chips that can be scanned remotely.
- Biometric Databases: Airports and border controls increasingly rely on facial recognition and fingerprint systems linked to national security databases.
- Digital Payment Trails: Credit card use and mobile payment apps leave behind an easily traceable breadcrumb trail of one’s location and identity.
The report cites a real case involving a political journalist from an authoritarian regime who sought anonymity after exposing high-level corruption.
Using a second passport from a Caribbean nation obtained through Amicus’ legal investment citizenship program, she safely exited the country, evading detection despite increased airport security.
Why Fake Identities Are a Risky Option
Many fugitives and privacy seekers initially consider fake identities, but this route is highly illegal and fraught with consequences.
In most jurisdictions, using synthetic identities—completely fabricated personas with fictitious data—or cloned identities, which combine real data with forged details, is criminalized. Travellers caught with such documents can face prosecution, fines, deportation, or long-term imprisonment.
A cautionary tale cited in the report details the downfall of an American man who attempted to flee tax prosecution by travelling under a cloned identity. He was detained in Madrid after inconsistencies in his passport triggered a biometric mismatch. He is now serving a seven-year sentence for document fraud and obstruction of justice.
Alternatives to Illegal Travel Methods
Instead of relying on forged documents, Amicus International’s report recommends a multi-layered strategy involving:
- Anonymous transportation methods include private shuttles, land borders, and non-passport-required ferries.
- Avoid digital trails by using prepaid SIM cards, burner phones, and cash instead of credit cards.
- Relying on legal name changes and second citizenship to establish legitimate new travel credentials.
“Legal identity change is not about deception,” said a spokesperson for Amicus International. “It’s about protection. Whether for domestic violence survivors, whistleblowers, or targeted minorities, anonymity can mean survival.”
Second Citizenship: The Lawful Path to Anonymity
At the heart of Amicus International’s strategy is second citizenship. Through international investment programs, individuals can legally acquire a second passport from a cooperating country. These programs are vetted and lawful, offering dual nationality, visa-free travel, and, most importantly, dissociation from one’s original identity.
Case Study: An Australian cybersecurity specialist who exposed significant flaws in a state-sponsored surveillance system began receiving credible threats. With the help of Amicus International, he secured Grenadian citizenship. Using his new identity and passport, he safely relocated to Lisbon and resumed his career under legal protection.
The Digital Frontier: Encryption, VPNS, and Privacy Tech
The guide emphasizes the role of technology in securing travel anonymity. While most individuals understand the basics of a Virtual Private Network (VPN), few implement more advanced measures such as:
- Encrypted messaging platforms like Signal or Threema
- Digital identity masking tools that limit online tracking
- Hardware wallets for cryptocurrency transactions are used in booking travel
Using these technologies, travellers can reduce their digital footprint while avoiding detection from data-gathering governments or corporate surveillance.
Professional Identity Services: A Safer Alternative
Amicus International advocates for a professional, legal, and structured process for clients seeking to rebuild their identity. Their services include:
- Legal name change facilitation
- Second passport acquisition through investment
- Legal residency and relocation programs
- Private banking setup with new identification credentials
These services are tailored for individuals seeking a clean break from their past due to personal, political, financial, or safety concerns.
“Clients come to us when they’ve exhausted all other options,” said the firm’s founder. “We don’t deal in fantasy. We provide lawful, confidential, and highly strategic identity solutions.”
Conclusion: Freedom, Privacy, and Planning
Travelling anonymously in 2025 is not only possible but essential for many. However, it requires careful planning, legal guidance, and an understanding of modern surveillance mechanisms.
The Amicus International guide urges individuals to avoid shortcuts that could result in criminal charges. Instead, it recommends working with professional consultants, leveraging second citizenship programs, and following a clear privacy protocol for travel and communication.
“Anonymous travel isn’t about running from the law,” said a privacy strategist with Amicus. “It’s about securing freedom, safety, and control in an increasingly monitored world.”
