Question about Spies recruitment

[him_15]

I originally thought that each spy is allowed to recruit for every five espionage research is unlocked, and turned out that this is not the case, only one spy is available after researching the very first five techs. So my question is, in order to recruit 3+ spies the only way is either appoint the Illusive Gentleman advisor, or become a spy master, is that correct? Thx!

Correct.

Every country has an illusive gentleman now so all countries can get 3 spies. Only spy masters can get more than that.

as the question has been asked and answered, can I wander off topic and ask whether anyone has ever had a spy reach level 2? or a linguist acquire another passport?

I get plenty of spies to lvl 2 and many gain linguist, not sure about the passport thing. But several "unique" spies are available for certain countries which act as double agents and have several countries listed.
