Yes, you can pursue a second master's degree from another country before applying for a PhD abroad. This can strengthen your academic profile, especially if the new master's aligns with your research interests or provides additional expertise.

Admission requirements for PhD programs vary - some prefer one strong master's degree, while others value diverse academic backgrounds. Keep in mind that pursuing another master's involves extra time and financial investment, so consider how it fits with your long-term goals.
