The Benefits of Dual Citizenship Global Mobility - Some passports do not allow you the luxury of traveling to any destination and can be quite restrictive. This makes traveling a complex matter as travel visas would need to be obtained.
Business - Acquiring second citizenship opens the doors to a plethora of business opportunities and concludes business deals, that were otherwise unavailable or hard to come by based on the original passport. Tax Optimisation - Certain jurisdictions provide advantageous tax legislation which may prove to be very beneficial to you and your business.
Whether this includes double tax treaties or capital gains, optimising your taxes will allow you to manage your wealth better. My main interest is visiting the us for family and etc. Thanks in advance for any help! Hi there, thank you for commenting! It is not a problem to have the 3 citizenships as long as they are used properly in each country when you are in those countries. For example: If you have all three passports and you fly to Ireland but forgot your Irish passport back in US or Canada, it could be possible the immigration officer at the port of entry in Ireland could send you home to get it as they do have you on file in their computers.
This actually happened in when I was there. I have Dual US — Irish. Another problem might be if one lives and works in US, and goes into Canada to get health treatment via the Canadian system. That is considered fraud, but some do it. Hey, I just wanted to say I read the entire article and it was super interesting and useful. Thank you so much for having everything in one place and so well-written!
I noticed that you marked Lebanon a 10 in your index for DC. The statement in this article regarding Venezuela is incorrect. The country allows dual citizenship. Correct, Venezuela does allows dual citizenship. I am born in Venezuela but migrated 20 years ago. I hold both passports and go back and forth between both countries very often. Hi I was born in Poland and hold a Polish passport but i have lived in Ireland for the last 20 years went to school here and im currently working here , is it possible for me to aply for an Irish passport but also keep my Polish one?
Definitely doublecheck this information with the Polish embassy in Dublin to be sure. Regards from Nomad Capitalist. Klaudia, of course it is! I have extensive British -Polish family some born in the UK, some in Poland, and most of them have dual citizenship.
No worries. Can I also get a British citizenship upon fulfilment of residency requirements. Will I have to renounce any citizenship? Greetings Sha, it would be best to discuss this matter with the embassies in charge, they can give you all the needed and detailed information.
You have a unique case, so the best thing to do is have all your bases covered by talking to embassy representatives. Any info would be great! I had france resident permanent last year through my son and i want to apply for french nationality. How can i do that? Please Metci!! You can update your list with information about Zambia, which recently amended its legislation to allow dual citizenship, with conditions. Further, its allow those who had previously ceased their citizenship to acquire another to have their Zambian citizenship reinstated.
According to Statutory Instrument SI Number 50, The Citizenship of Zambia Regulation, , now provides for a person who ceased to be a citizen as a result of acquiring the citizenship of another country to apply to the Board for restoration of the Zambian citizenship. Thailand does allow it. I wonder why people want to have 2 or 3 passports. If you can work and earn your living why the hell do you need another passport?
Do you want to eat from two sides without being productive for society? I am a Pakistani by birth and also an Australian citizen as I migrated there. Can I have all three nationalities at the same time i.
Japan turns a blind eye to dual nationality. Also today Japan is very receptive to immigration. Many are able to get their permanent residency in as little as 1 years. I am pakistani and my sun have egypt nationalty by mother…is it posible my sun join pak army r other security forces…. I am a dual national within and out of EU, holding an Italian and Macedonian passports but due to 20 years living in the UK am thinking to apply for citizenship.
Thank you. This must be considered when or if thinking of obtaining another country passport, and have no intent on living there. Canada too, Revenue Canada will audit you one day for not seeing any income tax return submitted in years against your Social Insurance Number, if you did not filled out their non-resident form and got it approved. Dual Nationality has benefits, you can work , buy land, house, schooling, no visas to travel, but it also have a dark side too.
Triple citizenship does not exist, a country recognizes Multiple citizenship or not. About your concern the US and Italy allow Multiple citizenship so you should have no problems getting UK citizenship, at least with the dual citizenship part. For Cubans living abroad even if they hold one or multiple citizenships to visit Cuba they most have a Cuban passport however they do not have any social benefits, not even allowed to buy property or enjoy free healthcare like Cubans residents do.
They do not have any benefits just obligations. They use this method even if it violates their constitution to collect cash from Cubans living abroad. The Cuban constitution forbids dual citizenships but they are very willing to violate their own constitution for dollars. I am a natural citizen of Bermuda. Born and raised. I am permanent legal alien in the US marriage green card. Can I obtain dual citizenship?
I hope that india would offer a dual citizenship so that it would be easier for the people there…Its my Hope as an Indian.. Can you please change the entry for South Africa? The repeal in was of section 9 of the SACA, not section 6 1 a , so if a person has dual citizenship they no longer have to get permission to use a foreign passport.
If they are applying for another citizenship they will still need a retention letter or they will lose their South African citizenship. So they info that you have given is misleading. Plenty of people have lost their South African citizenship because of confusion over which section of the citizenship act was repealed. Could you please investigate further? Does Russia allow dual citizenship or not? Hi excellent input, but I am surprised to see the absence of Caribbean Countries names missing from the dual citizenship list.
Kindly help me to clarify. My friend found this out less than a month before he left for a family trip back to Canada last year. If she now takes British nationality does she have to relinquish her Moroccan or contact the Moroccan government? Adopted at birth, I just learned that my genetic father is from Italy. He later married and had a full life and four children.
I will soon have his naturalization papers and the 23andMe information in hand and am wondering if I am wasting my time? Always use a different one for them and I use my Mexican one, nobody has said anything to us about it yet. My mother was born here in Canada, but her mother and grand mother were born in Ireland.
My sisters and I are all born here in Canada. Can we get dual citizenship? Brazilian information is wrong. Brazil ONLY allows for multiple citizenship by blood. Similarly, if a foreign national wants to become a Brazilian citizen, they will need to renounce their original citizenship at an official ceremony. My husband is an American by birth. Does My son can get an American passport through the grandma low and the Lithuanian from me? Does the u.
If a child born in the United States of America of a British father and a Nigerian mother , is that child entitled to triple citizenship? Note that by birth he is American, by parenthood he is both British and Nigerian. I am Tarun. I am a Indian trying to start a country. My uncle wants to join it,but he wants dual citizenship.
Is it possible. Can my uncle be a citizen of both? Many Taiwanese are mistaken. Taiwanese nationals are able to get another country citizenship, because the other country allows it. But Taiwan requires foreigners to give up their citizenship before getting the Taiwanese citizenship. In other words, it works only one way.
How about 3 citizenships from the following countries. Afghanistan, Hungary and Britain. I currently hold an Afghan and Hungarian citizenship and about to obtain a British too. Do I have to give up one? She is Bulgarian and Filipino by descent my husband and me but born in Britain. She has a Bulgarian passport already and is eligible to have a British passport, which we are in the process of attaining. I would also like for her to have a Filipino passport but would she need to give up either the Bulgarian or British passport?
Also are there any potential problems with having 3 passports? Good day, I wanted to check with you if it possible to hold 3 citizenships from the following countries: US, Canada and Israel. I currently hold US and Israeli citizenships and hold a permanent resident status in Canada. Can you please advise? All the best. I for one am eternally grateful for your commitment to us. Article 34 of the constitution.
Hey What about in case :Moldavian by birth with Romanian citizenship and an American by Naturalization is that anyhow affect my American citizenship? So there are quite a few mistakes here.
Let me explain. I am French expat, born and raised in Panama, living in Sweden married to a Pole who was raised in Germany and with whom I am expecting. Panama allows dual- citizenship but not more. Although this is true, you can have a third citizenship because once you have the Panamanian one you cannot revoke it. France has for a very long time only accepted dual-citizenship.
Today you may have up to 3. No more. Sweden accepts multiple citizenship. There is no limit as long as the other countries have no limits either. For example I have an Iraqi friend with 5 citizenships Swedish included. Poland, just like Sweden, accepts multiple citizenships.
So there you go! My family is super international, I have for example a brother married to a Japanese, an other one married to a Lithuanian and an other married to an American.

Which Countries Allow Dual Citizenship in ? Written by Andrew Henderson. Dateline: Wroclaw, Poland Obtaining a second citizenship is an important step in internationalizing your life so that no one country can control your freedom or your wealth. Author Recent Posts. Andrew Henderson. Andrew Henderson is the world's most sought-after consultant on international tax planning, investment immigration, and global citizenship. He has personally lived this lifestyle for over a decade, and now works with seven- and eight-figure entrepreneurs and investors who want to "go where they're treated best".
If you continue to use the passport of your ex-country, or show in any other way that you are a national of another country, the USA authorities may suspect you lied when you were taking an Oath of Allegiance.
This may be a reason to deprive you of American citizenship. This limiting norm should not bother the citizens of the Russian Federation, as Russia demands from its citizens to use Russian passport when coming out of the country and to Russia.
Some European countries prohibit their citizens or nationals to have two and more citizenships. Among them are Croatia, Denmark, Germany with some exceptions , Monaco, and some others that do not acknowledge the institute of dual citizenship.
For example, when acquiring German citizenship, the applicants are required not only to provide an application for renouncing their previous citizenship but to provide a document proving that renunciation has already taken place. When obtaining Danish citizenship, it is also necessary to renounce your native citizenship. The law differs from one country to the next, as in the United Kingdom, for example, you can apply to become a UK citizen through naturalization after five years of legal residence, but only if at least the last of those years your were a permanent resident.
Greece, on the other hand, requires you to live in Greece for 7 consecutive years. There are countries, such as KSA and Qatar, which do not naturalize based on legal residence, nor do they have permanent residency status for expats living abroad, but only make a foreigner a citizen and passport holder through the process of royal decree.
For example, if someone marries an American citizen they can apply for a green card and eventually an American citizenship through marriage. The government will, however, conduct due diligence to ensure the marriage is legit and that people are not taking advantage of a fake status to become American citizens.
Citizenship by investment — technically, this falls under the naturalization law but through a different route. This route is a great way to automatically get new citizenships, even to create a portfolio of citizenships as the nations that offer citizenship by investment programs allow dual and multiple citizenship.
Lucia, Montenegro, and Turkey all allow people to become citizens through investment. They also offer strong passports that are great for travel. People looking to become citizens of these countries can do so through investing amounts starting from , USD to get citizenship and passports for themselves and even their dependents such as their spouse, children, siblings, parents, grandparents, and parents in-law depending on which program they choose.
The process of obtaining a passport and becoming a citizen of one of these countries is extremely easy, and there is not even a need for a visa or any type of immigration to do so.
This process is simple, quick, and allows entire families to automatically become citizens of a country and get enhanced travel and access to global hotspots such as the UK, EU, and more depending on the passports they obtain. Many global entrepreneurs choose this route to enable them to travel the globe and handle worldwide business more easily without the need of going through a tedious immigration process.
Get consultation. Benefits of having multiple citizenships The benefits of dual citizenship, or having the citizenship of more than just two countries, are bountiful. International travel becomes enjoyable with a strong passport, like that of St. Safeguarding your family — life is unpredictable and instability is a risk that you must mitigate. Ensuring your family has a contingency plan and another country to live their life to the fullest in case something bad happens in your home nation is critical.
Second citizenship allows to ensure your family does not lose control of their life and well-being. Controlling taxes — having a citizenship of a tax haven, such as Dominica, allows you to control the taxes you pay and maintain your income and wealth.
This, of course, is a legally solid way of ensuring your income is not drastically impacted by high taxation. American citizens, however, must continue paying American taxes unless they lose their American citizenship through renunciation. Enhanced business ability — the easier you can travel the better you can manage your global businesses. You could even register your business in another country with solid financial and banking services to ensure your business income and growth is maintained.
You could register it as an offshore corporation but it is also allowed to register as an onshore corporation if you or your partners are citizens of the country. Is it possible to travel the world visa-free?
