Who here has dual citizenship?

[WombRaider]

I can legally live in the US and Hong Kong. I'm not sure about China though.

Anybody have more than one citizenship?

 

[akshatp]

I was born in London and live in NJ..,

Ive got both US and United Kingdom passports. I can live and work legally in either country.

Although my UK passport just expired and I need to renew it.

No you cannot LEGALLY do that because the US doesn't allow you to do that (dual citizenship). HK and China are two different worlds. You don't just get to walk in and out.

It's usually a lot of work to renounce your old citizenship. Plus you gain nothing and you lose your other citizenship, so why would you do it?

I have both Canadian and Bulgarian (and recently, EU) citizenship so I can live and work in 28 countries, which is kinda nice.

Canada + US here

Isn't it more like "Who pays taxes for more than one country?"

The United States doesn't technically recognize dual citizenship. As in, if you're a US Citizen, and then become a citizen of another country, you will lose your US Citizenship.

But, if you're a citizen of a different country that does recognize dual citizenship, and then become a US citizen, it's all good.

I personally am a US citizen, if I become a Canadian citizen down the line I'll lose my US citizenship. My daughter, who was born in Canada, is a dual citizen both here and in the US, completely legally. She has two passports and the ability to live in either country without restrictions.

I was born in HK and then became a US citizen. I guess I'm okay then.

I'm pretty sure that is not true. I was born in the US to an American mother and a Mexican father. I became a Mexican citizen about 5 years ago and have both a Mexican and American passport (although the Mexican one just expired). No one has informed me that my US citizenship has been revoked.

You just need not to use your other passport when entering the US. The US don't recognize the double citizenship, but the rest of the world does, so it's not a problem.

 

[deejayshakur]

for the HKers, what happened to your british citizenship after 97?

 

[deejayshakur]

also, what happens if you marry somebody with dual citizenship? are you eligible for citizenship in the other country of which your spouse is a citizen? will you lose your US citizenship as mentioned above?

It depends on the laws of the other country, some countries have Jure Soli (in which case you would not immediately get the other citizenship) and some countries have Jure Sanguis (in which case you would).

The US would not recognize your other citizenship unless you give up your American one. But every other country in the world would, so you basically just have to avoid using your foreign passport inside the US, including when entering the country.

you are all idiots.. the US does recognise double citizenship, but you got to have your US passport to enter the US. That's all.

I am a dual citizen with India.

Nope. If you acquire a foreign citizenship the US requires you to give up the other one. That's why you can't use it to enter the country.

Besides, there's no need to call names.
