It depends on the country and the situation. Some countries require that you give up one of your citizenships. Also, if you have citizenship of a country that requires you live (or at least return) for a set period of time (as in you visit at least once a year or live there for a certain number of years per number of years you live outside of the country) and you live outside of said country for too long, you may lose citizenship (note: some citizenships allow that you live outside of the country indefinitely).
