Amicus International Consulting Unveils A Guide to Disappear, Start Over, and Reclaim Freedom

Vancouver, BC — In an era where digital footprints are nearly impossible to erase, Amicus International Consulting has released a comprehensive guide on how individuals can legally and safely disappear from the United States in 2025. 

With a focus on privacy, safety, and legal considerations, the guide outlines eight essential steps for those seeking a new beginning outside of the U.S.

This release, which includes verified case studies and detailed planning insights, is part of Amicus International’s ongoing mission to offer individuals an escape from surveillance, injustice, and threats to their personal freedom.

Step 1: Obtain a Passport with a New Legal Identity

The first and most critical step in disappearing is securing a passport under a new legal identity before making any moves. Once flagged in a national or international database, obtaining legal travel documents becomes a monumental challenge.

Case Study: The Exonerated Whistleblower

In 2022, a corporate whistleblower accused of cybercrimes found himself under investigation after exposing unethical government contracts. 

Working with Amicus International, he legally changed his name through a Caribbean jurisdiction and secured a new passport. This identity shift allowed him to relocate to Panama, where he now works as a data consultant under full legal protection.

Step 2: Choose a Discreet Exit Strategy

Whether you travel by land, air, or sea, selecting your departure method can mean the difference between freedom and detention. Private charter boats or crossing land borders at less-trafficked points offer lower risks than major international airports with facial recognition systems.

Case Study: Exit via Belize

A California entrepreneur falsely accused of tax evasion left the U.S. through Mexico and traveled by boat to Belize. He entered the country using a new identity and was granted temporary residency. 

This method helped him avoid TSA watchlists and border alerts while maintaining complete anonymity.

Step 3: Pick a Country Without Extradition Treaties

Individuals fleeing unjust persecution must consider their destination carefully. Countries without extradition treaties—such as Russia, the United Arab Emirates, and Montenegro—may offer greater legal safety from international arrest warrants.

Case Study: A Father’s Flight for Custody

In 2019, a man who lost custody of his children under questionable circumstances relocated to Morocco, a non-extradition country for many Western jurisdictions. Through Amicus, he secured new identification and later opened a business, all without fear of forced repatriation.

Step 4: Prepare Financially and Go Underground

Before leaving, sever digital ties and cease electronic payments. Going “underground” includes minimizing contact, deleting social media, and transitioning to a cash-only lifestyle.

Case Study: Survivor of Domestic Abuse

A domestic violence survivor used Amicus International’s services to eliminate all online identifiers. She traveled with prepaid debit cards and no mobile phone. Today, she lives peacefully in Thailand, working as a yoga instructor, having erased all digital links to her former life.

Step 5: Secure Legitimate Identification Documents

Low-quality or fake documents can lead to arrest and deportation. High-quality, government-issued documents legally obtained under a new name are essential to cross borders safely.

Case Study: The Stolen Identity Victim

A woman whose identity was stolen and used in financial fraud faced constant police scrutiny. Amicus helped her secure a new legal identity through an Eastern European citizenship-by-investment program. She now lives and works freely in Hungary, immune from the chaos caused by the original crime.

Step 6: Open International Bank Accounts and Manage Assets Strategically

Offshore banking is essential for asset protection. Avoiding banks tied to the U.S. and using legitimate non-U.S. identities helps preserve financial independence.

How to Prepare Financially:

  • Liquidate U.S.-based assets or transfer them offshore
  • Use multi-currency accounts in jurisdictions like Liechtenstein or the Cayman Islands
  • Secure cryptocurrency wallets and offshore gold storage

Case Study: Retired Investor Facing IRS Audit

After an unexpected IRS audit targeting his family trust, a retired Florida investor diversified his assets internationally. Using an Amicus-facilitated identity change, he opened bank accounts in Singapore and Switzerland. Today, his wealth remains intact and shielded.

Step 7: Adopt Anonymous Travel Techniques

Avoiding surveillance means using burner phones, prepaid credit cards, VPNs, and encrypted messaging. Learning alternate travel routes—via secondary airports or border crossings—is equally vital.

Case Study: Engineer Targeted by a Lawsuit

In 2020, a software engineer facing a malicious lawsuit used anonymized cryptocurrency to fund a trip to Eastern Europe. He avoided hotel registrations by staying in private accommodations arranged through encrypted platforms. After six months of careful movement, he resettled under a new legal identity and launched a successful online consultancy.

Step 8: Assimilate and Start Anew

Successfully disappearing requires more than evasion; it involves rebuilding. From learning local customs and language to adopting new behaviors and appearance, integration is key.

Case Study: Former Political Activist in Exile

An environmental activist targeted for political dissent found refuge in Uruguay through Amicus’ legal identity program. She mastered Spanish, adapted to regional dress, and integrated into her community as a school teacher. Her new life remains stable, anonymous, and entirely legal.

Final Considerations: Understanding the Risks

Choosing to disappear is not a decision to take lightly. It may entail severing ties with friends and family, adapting to a completely foreign culture, and constantly practicing vigilance. 

Amicus International emphasizes that all services provided are legal and designed for people in legitimate danger or facing wrongful prosecution.

“We don’t help criminals escape justice. We provide lawful solutions to those whose freedom is compromised by unjust systems or flawed legal processes,” said an Amicus spokesperson. “Every case is reviewed thoroughly to ensure compliance with international law.”
