This is an act of apostasy as it is uncalled for and there is no life threatening situation!

I want to ask a question regarding apostasy.. one of the criteria where a situation is not considered as apostasy is when u say something by the tongue but don’t mean it from the heart… keeping this point in mind can i convert to Christianity not because I think it’s the truth. I am well aware that islam is the religion of truth and I am a practicing muslim. I pray 5 times a day and read the quran daily.. and do what is required of a muslim.. but iam in a situation at the moment where I need a certain passport and if I lie that I want to convert to Christianity the chances of me getting the passport are high. This will not change how I feel about islam I will still be a practicing muslim like iam now. with this being said if I lie and convert to Christianity I know it’s a lie and thus is a sin… but does it mean i have committed apostasy? And does this thought of mine in itself is apostasy? And do I really become a christian by just saying things that would make them believe that I have converted to christianity. In no way will I speak ill of islam or Allah swt or our prophet pbuh. please reply as soon as possible thank u for ur time.
