Do you think this statements allows or does not allow US citizens to seek foreign citizenship?
"The concept of dual nationality means that a person is a citizen of two countries at the same time. Each country has its own citizenship laws based on its own policy.Persons may have dual nationality by automatic operation of different laws rather than by choice. For example, a child born in a foreign country to U.S. citizen parents may be both a U.S. citizen and a citizen of the country of birth.
Answers:
From the information you site, it sounds as if you can become a dual citizen involuntarily ie. by marring a citizen of a foreign country. However, if you just REQUEST citizenship in another country without an extenuating circumstance, such as marriage to a citizen of that foreign country, you are actually giving up your citizenship in the U.S.
Actually, that sounds fair to me. I really don't think a person should have an option to purchase property in a country where they are unwilling to wholeheartedly commit as a citizen.
It allows. because if you want to invest in certain parts of the world, let's say for real estate, you may need citizenship in that nation.
It sounds to me like it recognizes dual citizenship. It also states that a person may lose citizenship if he decides to become a citizen of a different country. That may apply to only certain countries or the US allows someone to declare themselves a citizen of another country. We apparently acknowledge dual citizenship because they are foreign laws but don't acknowledge them in US laws. It is kind of unclear.
i think it depends on why you are seeking the foreign citizenship, if your parents were born in the country you want citizenship in or if you are married to someone of that nationality then yes you can get citizenship, but if you are applying by naturalization i don't know but if you are born in the us they can't take your us citizenship away from you so i think yes, but i heard if you are becoming an american citizen you have to renounce all other citizenships, but i have triple nationality in canada, ireland and the uk, so all of europe and they are all by birth
