Dual Citizenship

Dual citizenship - or dual nationality - means being a citizen of 2 countries at the same time. By being a citizen of multiple countries, you are also agreeing to share the rights and responsibilities that come with citizenship of those countries.

Dual citizens benefit by being allowed to live and work in two countries. They may own property in both countries and travel between the countries. Please keep in mind that dual citizens are often subject to double taxation as they are bound by the laws of both nations.

Not every country allows for dual citizenship. Every country has their own nationality laws. The United States does not prohibit dual citizenship. U.S. citizens must use a U.S. passport to enter and exit the United States. Dual citizens may also be required by the laws of their country to use that country’s passport to enter and exit that country.

The following countries allow dual citizenship. The countries which allow dual citizenship only under particular circumstances are marked with an asterisk.
