I think you never lose it. I have relatives who have lived abroad for 25 years, and have not visited the US in 5 years. They don't lose it.

Can you register your new born baby as a British citizen if you are a British citizen work abroad and your partner of another nationality who live on the same soil?

That depends on how you got your U.K. citizenship. If you were born in the UK before 1983, you got the citizenship by birth in the UK alone. In such a case you can pass your U.K. citizenship to your child (by descent). Your child is automatically a U.K. citizen. Also, if either one of your parents was a U.K. citizen at your birth and you were born after 1983, you still can pass U.K. citizenship to your children (again by descent). Again, your child is automatically a U.K. citizen. However, if you were born outside the U.K. and got your citizenship by descent (one of your parents was a U.K. citizen), it becomes a little more difficult. You still can try to register your child as a U.K. citizen, but beware that you must meet certain requirements (such as having lived continuously in the U.K. for 3 years before the child's birth). Also, this is at the descretion of the Home Office, and your baby has no official "right" to be U.K. citizen. Here in detail: http://www.bia.homeoffice.gov.uk/britishcitizenship/eligibility/children/britishcitizen/ Hope this helps! I'm US citizen, but born in the U.K. before 1983

There's lots of ways to get Irish citizenship. I'll list them all out:If you do not have the citizenship of any other country you get Irish citizenship automatically, if you are born in Ireland.If either of your parents already have Irish citizenship, then you are also Irish unless your parent was born abroad and their birth was not reported to the Irish authorities.If you are born in Ireland to British parents, you would be both Irish and British unless your British parents were born outside of Britain, then you would only be Irish.You can naturalize as an Irish citizen after 5 years of legal residence.If your grandparent was born in Ireland, you are entitled to become an Irish citizen.If your great grandparent was born in Ireland, you can become an Irish citizen assuming your parent's birth was registered with the Irish authorities before your birth.Irish citizenship can be passed from generation to generation abroad as long as one registers their birth before the subsequent generation is born.If you were born in Ireland prior to 2005, you became an Irish citizen even if neither of your parents were citizens.


Can a female American citizen living abroad get married in Georgia to a non-US citizen who entered the US with her on a visitor's visa and they intend to leave and live in the husband's country?

Yes, you can get married. Only thing is make sure if you are planning on getting US Citizenship in the future, apply for residency BEFORE you leave. It will be much easier than applying from abroad. Also, if you plan on re-entering the US before approval of residency (6 months to a year), make sure you get re-entry Visa BEFORE you leave, otherwise you WILL NOT be allowed to enter country without either the re-entry visa or your green card onCe residency is approved!

How can an American obtain dual citizenship?

An American can obtain dual citizenship by meeting the requirements of the country they wish to become a citizen of, such as through birth, marriage, or naturalization. They should research the specific laws and regulations of the country they are interested in and follow the necessary steps to apply for citizenship. It is important to note that some countries do not allow dual citizenship, so individuals should carefully consider the implications before pursuing this option.


How do you legally terminate US citizenship?

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.
