Why would you want to? You have already been christened in that church.

No.
Jesus said, "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to the whole creation. He who believes and is baptized will be saved." (Mark 16:15-16)
The Catholic Church believes that you can only be saved once and therefore should only be baptized once.
The Nicene Creed states, "We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins."
The Catholic Church recognizes the baptism of anyone who was baptized with water and the words, "[Name], I baptize you in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit."

With love in Christ.

as to your question: can you get christened twice as in two separate countries with the catholic church. My answer is this: i cannot think of a sane person who would want too. isn't once enough?

Baptism leaves an indelible mark on the soul, so one may be baptized only once.
Ephesians 4:4-6
There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; One Lord, one faith, one baptism, One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.

The second time would be symbolic as in a second marriage as a confirmation of love.

to my knowledge it is a one time thing, but it counts in every country and every Catholic church so there really is no need to do it multiple times
