April 24, 2017 – What is dual citizenship? When a person is considered a citizen of two countries, they are said to have dual citizenship.

This can be achieved in several ways, through birth, marriage, naturalisation, and increasingly by investment immigration. There is no set rule on how to get dual citizenship.

The rights of a holder of dual nationality depends on the laws of the host country. Many have restrictions on who can run for public office.

Some countries do not allow dual citizenship, meaning anyone granted citizenship of a second country automatically loses their original citizenship.

How to apply for dual citizenship depends on the country in question. In most cases, a country will require a period of permanent residence first, including proof of taxes paid and physical presence over a stated period. These citizenship requirements can vary depending on the country in question.
