Dual Citizenship

Dual citizenship, also called dual nationality, is the status of an individual who is a citizen of two countries simultaneously. Whether dual citizenship is permitted depends on the laws of both countries involved, as some nations require renunciation of prior citizenship upon naturalisation. Benefits include holding multiple passports and the right to live and work in both countries, while obligations such as military service or taxation may apply in each. The number of countries formally recognising dual citizenship has grown significantly over recent decades.
