Pros & Cons of “Dual” Citizenship

Jim the title is far far far from what you're talking about

There is no correlation between the title and your discussion!

I know that once you become a US citizen you automatically lose your foreign citizenship and have to re-apply again to get it back. And if im not mistaken US is okay with you being a dual citizen as long as you use your US passport when you leave and come back. Its up to the country where you are originally from whether they allow you to have dual citizenship. Most popular example of the country that doesn’t allow dual citizenship would be Germany. Thanks for posting almost every day! A lot of great advice!

...I believe you're correct on dual US and Israeli citizenship. What's beyond my understanding is that you can also serve in the US military with dual USA/Israeli citizenship which in my opinion... "you can't serve two masters"...
I had to give up my birth country citizenship in order to become US citizen.

Please change the thumbnail and title, and the video does not relate.

Hello I can’t find the Immigrant Home group - can you send me the link?

Nationality law is a confusing subject, since there are so many factors to consider.

Might want to update the title…..the video doesn’t match

Is this the case for natural born Mexican citizens?

With dual citizenship you can be subject to military draft in old country if they go to war.

Dunno what's the beef with some of the commentators. Thank you Mr. Hacking for your knowledge and insight.

hi, i am a u.s citizen, my parents are from Spain, can you help me with obtaining a Spanish passport? if so, i would like to hire you

Thanks for this information....I can't renounce my US citizenship because my husband's family inheritance ...so I have to look at a country like Ghana that offers dual citizenship...good information

My son was born to me (an American and not married) in London, England therefore he is an American citizen and his birth was registered at the American embassy.
His British father wasn't married to me at that time, however, we did get married when my son was a year old so my son also became a British citizen so now he's dual.... is that a problem?
His father and I are not married anymore.

Thank you this video.
I have a small question.
I am sri Lankan
I got US citizenship about few weeks ago. I have small doubt. Is good idea for retention Sri Lankan citizenship?
What are advantage and disadvantages? I have small property in Sri Lanka. If cancel Sri Lankan citizenship , is some problem from Sri Lankan government.
Also what are the disadvantages from US government in dual citizenship?
Please reply this , thank you

Not true at all, and it depends largely on your other citizenship. If you have dual (or indeed multiple citizenships), then the most major thing that's changed practically is that that each country will recognise you as a citizen of their country.

The Indian example is flawed, as India does not allow Dual Nationalities; you're either an Indian Citizen or you're not. Your client & good friend could possess an Overseas Citizenship of India (OCI) card, which entitles people of Indian descent to live and work in India indefinitely. Acts as a Resident's Permit, Visa, and Photo ID... Removing her need to apply for a Visa. OCI cards cost 275 bucks to apply for, and you can renew them for 25 bucks.

Whereas with the United States, as a Native UK Citizen and dual UK/US citizen, I would have full citizen rights of abode and movement in the UK and its territories – If I were to travel to the US, I would have to enter on my US passport as I'm considered a US citizen when in-country, despite my possessing other nationalities. As a citizen, you must enter the country on that country's passport (I couldn't be a UK/US dual national and enter the US on my UK passport and vice versa). If they asked you to give up allegiances to foreign governments, then the US wouldn't allow Dual Citizenship.

In real life, I'm a UK/Irish Dual National, and I must enter & leave Ireland on my Irish passport, and enter & leave the UK on my British passport. If I chose to fly from London to Paris, I could enter on my British Passport, which would be an absolute waste of time as it would limit my visa-free stay, and entering on my Irish guarantees that I could stay there for life if I wanted to.

Thanks for the info, but I agree you did not fully fulfill the title of pros and cons of the citizenship in the video by explaining 1 pro “receive a passport” and 1 con “you can lose your citizenship, unless you Israeli”

I know many South Americans with US citizenship that are still legally obligated to vote in their home countries. When their US born children turn 18 they must also register for the draft in their home countries. It’s a shame that their votes here are worth the same as a disabled US veteran.

I was born To an Irish Father and American mother in the US. I have already gotten a Irish citizenship but we just found out that i also need an american one. So do i really actually need it and do i need both of them?

No politicians should have them ...

My friend is simple usa does allow dual citizenship but a lot of other countries don't so you need to research does country laws. Also when you are a usa citizenship you need to use inside usa that passport not other countries passport to enter or go out is very simple

im british and also american....... i hold both passports therefore I'm dual. The problem becomes an issue if I break the law in a foreign country, who do I belong to?
'

Nationalization ain’t the only way…

What if your US first then you get another citizenship?

:) what happens if you are born abroad to US parents xD, I never swore to give up my Mexican Citizenship. But I am curious, what am I allowed to do, or what kind of pros I am awarded.

I know plenty people with dual citizenship.. US and another country… not a big deal…
we have US citizens who are completely anti American… 😂 even born here

DISCUSTING 🤢🤢🤢👎😠

The largest pro being a duel-citizen national, is that you get to join U.S. politics, use the tax payer and their taxes to fund your own and support your own nations. You get to place your nation first over the interest of America and American tax payers. You get to give allegiance to your nation first before the United States Of America. You get to bribe, manipulate, and take money from all of the poor Americans so that your family can purchase Luxury five million dollar homes, vehicle's, private schools, etc etc. All thanks to the wage slaves. Government being the largest welfare recipients on the planet Earth, get to live like Kings and Queens whilst the poor tax paying American have to go out and get two three extra jobs to place food on to their tables to feed their children. You get to live like celebrities by forcing poor Americans to give you their incomes via taxes.

Thank you so much❤

What Israel is a part of America just like Puerto Rico. That’s why America doesn’t mind. But I am curious about getting a dual citizenship to the Philippines.

What about grandfathered in, as I'm an army brat ? Please let us know I was born in Germany and back here by 8 months back to Tennessee. We moved a lot. Til dad retired.

Lifetime US taxes, no matter where you live

I’ve been “hacked!” The video title tricked me…😔

That is all going to change now that Donald Trump is back in office.

It’s been my understanding that Mexico & the US recognize dual citizenship between the two countries. I was born in Mexico to two American parents. I’ve had a US passport all of my adult life. Recently I traveled to Mexico and untainted a Mexican passport. I believe I’m not alone in having dual citizenship.
