The ex-CEO of Renault-Nissan, Carlos Ghosn, made the headlines once again with his leak in Lebanon. But how was he able to leave Japanese territory when his three passports (French, Lebanese and Brazilian) were retained by his japanese lawyers? The businessman would have had a second French passport, but is it legal?
The Carlos Ghosn case
Japanese lawyers for Carlos Ghosn, then under house arrest after 130 days in prison, held his three passports: French, Lebanese and Brazilian. According to a source close to the investigation, the French businessman had a second French passport, in a case closed by a secret code. If the passport was in his possession, he had to ask the lawyer for the code, who needed to travel to unlock it. This passport had been authorized by the court to allow him to move internally and to serve as his visa there. On the other hand, it would seem that the exboss of the Renault-Nissan Alliance did not use this means to travel outside the Japanese borders and would have left the territory illegally. Carlos Ghosn must explain himself on January 8 from Lebanon to explain his incredible gesture.

How to apply for a second passport?
This request must be made to the Consulate or Embassy of your country of residence. But "the issuance of a second passport is not a right, but a faculty and it is the administration that sets its award criteria," said the Public Service website. You will therefore need to provide proof of your close journeys or of your particular situation.
“Issuing a second passport of a country� is not a right
The requirements of the administration that set the criteria for judging must be met (provided evidence of a close trip or specific situation) according to the french overseas consulate. Almost countries do not issue two passports, so it is very inconvenient for professionals who need a global mobility. A Korean employee who has been in charge of global marketing of a French company in over 40 countries for over 30 years claims that he has been considering obtaining french nationality because he is often tied to the reason for the Korean passport, which is allowed only one passport for each.

Vulnerable country passport, Lebanon Carlos Ghosn's childhood, Lebanon has not signed an extradition treaty with Japan. Carlos Ghosn has refused for the moment to confirm or deny the details of his escape from Japan. His flight to Lebanon, highly publicized, embarrassed the Japanese authorities, who demanded his return to the archipelago to be tried there for the facts of financial embezzlement alleged against him and that he denies in block.
