Can you have citizenship in more than one country?

Question

or can you only have it in one at a time?

Answer 1

It depends on the combination of countries. There are many countries that do not allow dual citizenship at all and some that don't allow it with certain other countries.

Answer 2

That depends on what country you are a citizen of. In the U.S. you can have dual citizenship in the U.S. and Israel. If you have family ties to Italy or Ireland, it is possible to have double citizenhip with these nations as well. Children of immigrants have a kind of dual citizenship until they are 18, when they are allowed a choice. There are also several nations that do not require the return of a passport when one becomes a U.S. citizen.

Answer 3

Yes. Dual citizenship is common, as well as having two passports.

But dual citizens are always warned that they can be called up in the armed services of both their countries anytime.

Answer 4

Yes, many people who despise the USA have dual citizenship due to having been born in the USA. I know a Canadian whose parents came across the border to give birth so he would have dual citizenship. He dislikes the US but carries a US passport when he travels so he can call on the State Department if he needs help.
