A dual citizen may be subject to the laws of the other country that considers that. Meaning that I can't go into the U.S. on my British passport.
The British government allows dual citizenship. However, the government of the other country might not allow this thus force you to renounce British citizenship if you want to become a citizen of their country.
Only if the other country does not ask you to renounce your US citizenship (e.g. Norway, Denmark, Spain and Luxembourg require you to renounce your US citizenship if you want to obtain their citizenship).
It is true but only a few countries do that (e.g. Italy, Spain and Portugal)and that is if you provide the documents they want you to present. Some of the countries that have this law, still require you to renounce your current citizenship (e.g. Spain).
Fulfilling the requirements for U.S. citizenship does NOT cancel your Canadian citizenship. Canadian citizenship is permanent, and (unless obtained by fraud) cannot be revoked by the Canadian Government for ANY reason unless you renounce it yourself. Also, the U.S. does not require Canadians to renounce their citizenship when becoming U.S. Citizens.
By renouncing your citizenship before a consulate officer (you cannot renounce citizenship inside the U.S.). If you are renouncing because you are a dual national and dont really "consider" yourself an American, you should have no problems. If you are only an American citizen and want to renounce as a form of protest, then there are more difficulties because the embassy will usually want to know that you have permanent residency/citizenship in another country (the U.S. doesnt like to make people "stateless"). Note: if the U.S. suspects that you are renouncing citizenship merely because you want to avoid U.S. worldwide taxation, then although you have renounced your citizenship, the IRS will still tax you as an American citizen based on your income, even if earned completely outside the U.S.
For people who immigrate to Israel through Aliyah (Jews who return to Israel) may keep their other nationalities, given that the other country allows dual citizenship1. Non-Jews who immigrate to Israel and want to become a citizen through naturalisation, have to renounce their other nationalities if they can2 as Israel does not allow dual citizenship. 1 Example: Germany, Denmark and Norway do not allow dual citizenship but Canada, the US, the UK and France do. 2 Example: Greece does not allow any of its citizens to renounce their citizenship. Iranians have to get the approval of the Supreme Leader- which most of the time is not given.
Hi, if you are born in a country you get a citizenship of that country ( that is single citizenship). If you migrate to another country and get a citizenship from that country but you do not want to give up the citizenship of your home country then it is a dual citizenship.
Well, because the answer if both of you are of the same country of origin is so obvious, I am going to assume you mean one of US citizenship and one of Mexican citizenship. If you want to get married in the US, the person with US citizenship would have to set up the marriage. I would ask your local government officials.
Yes, although Canada does not recognize expunged infractions, so it is best that if there is any way a record exists then disclose all information. Honesty is the best policy, but why any one would want to live in that crap country is very confusing to me. I want to renounce my citizenship to Canada.
It's important to note that while your dual citizenship may be recognized by another country, the US does not recognize dual citizenship. For Immigration purposes, this means that you cannot travel to the US on a foreign passport if you are a US citizen. == == The US laws on dual citizenship are somewhat ambigious. The US law states that you remain a citizen unless you a)Voluntarily apply for citizenship of another country with B) the intention of renouncing your US citizenship. So, for example, if you are a US citizen by birth, you may become a naturalized citizen of Canada. Canada does not require renouncing other citizenships, so you remain a citizen of both countries. If you are a citizen of the UK, their laws would determine if you can retain your citizenship after becoming a naturalized citizen of the US. Basically, becoming a naturalized citizen of country A may not automatically eradicate your citizenship in country B, depending on the laws of country B. Some countries, such as Iraq, require you to renounce all other citizenships. There is a long list of countries that do not allow dual citizenships (do a google search.) If you specifically want to renounce your US citizenship, you do so by filling out a form and filing it with the US embassy.
When applying for German citizenship, you should ask them for a permission to retain foreign nationality. If they do not approve that, and you still want to become a German citizen, then you should renounce your Canadian nationality.
if you want to be a new citizen of a country, you can register for citizenship.
