Dual Citizenship means you are a citizen of two countries at the same time.
Not all countries allow this. If you acquire a new citizenship then you often have to give up the old one.
The rules for acquiring citizenship vary greatly and are often complicated. They usually require you to be a legal resident of that country for a number of years, to speak the language, not to have a criminal record, and other restrictions. If you want to acquire a second citizenship, you will have to research how to become a citizen of that specific country.
