Does the US or any other country allow tri or more citizenships?

Question

E.g. a child is born inside the US to parents legally in the US, a father of Canadian citizenship and a mother of Indian citizenship. Would the child be eligible to be a citizen of all three countries? I'm not sure if India allows citizenship to children born outside India, but replace India with the UK and you can understand my question.

To those who say the US does not allow dual-citizenships:

Dual citizenship is obviously allowed on the basis of birth and parents' citizenship, but I was wondering about triple citizenship or even more (if the parents themselves were dual-citizens for example).

Answer 1

hmmmm, that's weird because i have a friend with US, Mexican, AND German passports. Mom is mexican, dad is german, both were legal permanent residence living in the US when they had my friend...and there you go. All three passports are valid. So...yup, not sure what these others are talking about.

Answer 2

Yes, absolutely.

It is possible to have USA, Canadian and UK citizenships at the same time.

USA does allow dual citizenship. "Dual citizenship" is merely a term. Practically, it can be 2-3-4 citizenships.

India, however, does not recognize dual citizenship.

Generally speaking, it should be viewed from the point of view of each nation in question:
1) USA allows dual citizenship - check
2) Canada probably too - check
3) UK allows dual citizenship - check

Answer 3

It's great how people sometimes just make stuff up when they don't actually know the answer.

About 90 countries in the world - including the US - allow their citizens to hold other nationalities by specific law. The others do not officially permit it, although many of those pretend not to notice. As for more than two, of course you can have more than two - there is no set of laws in the world I have ever seen (and I've seen a lot of them) that limit anyone's citizenships to two.

A friend of mine, in fact, has five: Italian from his father, Swedish from his mother, Russian by birth, Canadian by naturalization, and Georgian by marriage.

By the way, here is an extremely interesting web site that keeps track of all countries' citizenship laws.

Answer 4

US does not recognise dual, three etc citizenships at all. What other countries recognise is up to them. There are many that allow dual citizenship but I have never heard of any that allows three. If you live in the US you are required to be 100 percent US citizen or have no permanent status here.
If you want to be a US citizen then you must be US citizen 100 percent. 50 Percent this and 50 percent that is not loyal to either country and is not acceptable here.

Answer 5

US does not allow multiple citizenships but those born in the US can be a citizen of their parents but only applicable to countries of their parents. Thus, a child cannot present himself as a Canadian or Indian citizen when born in the US.

Answer 6

confident, yet section 351 of the Immigration and Nationality Act provides that to keep her citizenship she might desire to interior of 6 months after achieving age 18 assert her declare to US citizenship. this may be carried out previously a US consul.

Answer 7

Answer 8
