Is dual dual Citizenship possible - USA & Belgium?

Question

I am an American citizen and am married to a Belgian citizen. Since Belgium doesn't "recognize" dual citizenship but the USA does, can I become a Belgian citizen and ALSO retain my US citizenship? As far as I understand, the USA will not automatically drop my citizenship upon becoming a dual citizen. Correct? Anyone else had any personal experience with Belgian/USA immigration?

Answer 1

The U.S. lists taking on another citizenship as a potentially de-nationalizing incident, but the SC has ruled that you can only lose your citizenship if you intend to. However, there are many ways you could manifest that intention:

The Belgian citizenship oath: If it is like the American oath which requires you to consider all other allegiances secondary, then you would lose your citizenship.

Taxes: If you live in Belgium and fail to file income taxes with the IRS, that could cost you your citizenship if you have a second citizenship.

All-in-all, you would definitely want to consult w/ a lawyer before doing anything.

Answer 2

If Belgium doesn't recognize duel citizenship then you may have to renounce your U.S. citizenship to gain citizenship there. In other words if you are already a Belgium citizen you can have duel status in the U.S. but may not work the other way around. Like the previous post said check with your lawyer before you do anything!
