Just to make it very clear, the United States allows dual citizenship.
However, if you're a US citizen, you should use US passport to get into and out of the country. There's a common misunderstanding that having a second passport means you can use it whenever you want, but it's not that simple.
If you're a US citizen, you're supposed to leave and enter the country as one, otherwise, there could be problems.
On the other hand, having a second passport or several of them is a great way to ensure yourself.
The truth is that any country will, if you have their passport, hold you solely as their citizen, they're not interested in your other citizenships.
From that point of view, it's only logical that any country, especially the US, will require you to enter and exit the country as their citizen.

Long story short.. You must use your US passport to enter or leave the country. They don't care what other passport/citizenship you hold.
What happens if you use the wrong passport?
@mrbobbilly I rarely hear any good stories with regards to US citizen services. They think they own everyone.
true, however what my question is, I heard that if you are a US citizen, the US will require you to renounce your citizenship if you wish to become a citizen in another country.
surveyguyor thats only when you become a US citizen...not when u become a dual citizen!
@@notthatyouasked6656 silly response. Blessings to you. Sorry, I don't understand. It's difficult many times for people of high intelligence to understand those with low intelligence. Sorry for your struggle. Bless you.
Go to the USA and leave with a us passport. Outside the USA use your 2nd passport depending on what country you are from.
if you are not from north korea always use your second passport except US :D
Dude who use to live opposite me, has a British passport and United states passport.... he travels everywhere on his us passport
Clarity appreciated, good work!
Is your camera crazy, or am i on LSD?
You are watching an LCD.
It’s a video stabilizer algorithm causing warp.
This is trippy
Those are not mutually exclusive.
I have no problem with private citizens having dual (or more even) citizenship.
But I strongly object to dual citizens serving in US government positions.
This practice is an obvious conflict of interest, and opens the door for improper influence from the other host nation. Israel is a perfect example of this improper influence.
Government officials should be US citizens ONLY, and singly devoted to our country and people in their hearts and minds.
This applies to all government positions, elected and otherwise.
Because a clerk at the DMV or your local town administration obviously needs to be only American.
Haruka speaks yeah, sure, that’s what I meant.
Like any random dmv employee would be able to afford a house and property in Israel.
But yeah, state or federal government positions should be held by US citizens period. No conflict from foreign countries.
There are actually government positions where having dual citizenship could be problematic, so they do not take on those applicants. Federal and military government positions mostly. State and local having dual citizenship should not be an issue.
Dannhy Mir I see your point, but I cannot say that I agree. As far as local government is concerned, yeah, there is little that an outside (foreign) influence could affect, as it would take a very large number of personnel to have any continuity over a wide area. But State and Federal government mostly dictate what local can or cannot do anyway.
But State and Fed, in my opinion, need to be devoted entirely towards the best interests of the United States and the legal citizens who reside here.
When a person moves here from another country, but does not give up citizenship from that country, they still have a vested interest in their country of origin. If they then hold political office in the U.S., that interest will affect their decisions regarding any dealings with that country.
If a U.S. citizen decides to reside in another country, there must be something that appeals to that individual to even consider that decision. And if they also hold a position of political office here, that appeal will also affect their decisions toward dealing with that adoptive country.
That is human nature.
This doesn’t even take into consideration any attempt from lobbyists from those foreign countries who may seek to sway any decision that might be beneficial to their own interests or agendas.
Once again, in my opinion, dual citizenship can only create a conflict of interest in anyone holding a position in any aspect of government, and the practice should not be allowed.
Our taxes support every aspect of the lives of our representatives, and we should be able to expect and demand that those representatives have only the best interest of our country and it’s infrastructure in mind.
We are not paying them for anything else but that.
Edit: Yes, there are dual citizens, many of them, in Congress, in the House of Representatives, in the White House staff, in the dept. of education, the dept. of commerce, immigration, DOJ, CIA, etc.
Everywhere in the workings of our government. To say they do not accept applications from them is entirely incorrect.
Paul Weisgerber I didn't say having dual citizenship forbids anyone from being employed by the federal government, simply that A) it complicates an applicants chances of getting hired and B)the federal government can turn down an application if its a matter of national security or requires top security clearances. I'm saying its done on a case by case basis, but its perfectly legal to have dual citizenship and hold government jobs and positions. I apologize if I wasn't more clear on that. I was emphasizing that the application processes for state and local dual citizen applicants was easier than for federal jobs because most state and local jobs don't require any sort of security clearance, only a standard background check.
Hi Andrew , first thank you for posting this video. I have been thinking about dual citizenship and see many advantages however I never stopped to think of the significance of entering or leaving on one passport or another. From what I understand from your video the significance is which country is considered the governing power over me based on the passport that I enter and exit is this correct? If I exit the US with a US passort and go to Monaco, the Caribbean , or Puerto Rico and sale my stocks and bonds while living in Monaco, Caribbean, or Puerto Rico after I have acquired my 2nd citizenship in one of those countries am I subject to US tax if I exit the US using my US passport even though I have taken up residence in one of the other countries and acquired citizenship in one of those countries?
Or does the US authority to tax have nothing to do with which passport used when exiting or entering the US?
Even if you hold dual citizenship, as long as you're US citizen, you're taxed, have to report to the IRS no matter where you live, doesn't matter if you don't go back to the US, even if you buy property or open an account overseas, there's a form only for US citizens that they have you fill giving them permission to check on your finances abroad. So yeah
@ 2:46 you only need to submit your US passport on entry into the US. There is no US Customs requirement upon departure from the US.
a friend of mine was born in Canada and then was moved here and was made a citizen of usa shortly after she was born because her parent lived here. So literally she has a Canadian citizenship and also a american citizenship and has moved back and forth between the 2 places all the time off and on. She also travels all over and lived all over the united states she also goes to Canada all the time while living here and she has never had a problem. and she has never needed a visa to do anything.
@@walterg6953 This was awhile ago, but yeah pretty much anyone can become a dual citizen of anywhere depending on the country's requirements, places like china it will never happen. Idk why his family couldn't believe it but I guess it could cause problems because technically you could get deported right? But highly doubtful if you are a citizen of both country's. Canadians can pretty much do whatever they want in the u.s. anyway and they do, Its not exactly easy to do the same coming from the u.s. so perhaps that's why his family was surprised?
Most of the canadians who come to a large part of the u.s. Not to live but the ones who come because they can smuggle stuff across the border cheaper, tend to be more well off, but also tend to be self centered, entitled, and tend to do things like drive below the speed limit, talk spit about the people who they come in contact with, and i've even seen them start fights and pretend to be the victom.
Obviously part of it is because they are not use to the norms. But if anything that's probably why his family were surprised because of the interactions with the minority that come here for a brief period tend to be stuck up and such. Which obviously are not canadians as a whole but. I could see americans from say NY being shocked that canada allowed them to become a dual citizen.
Perhaps it has gotten harder, but i know the one person and they never had a issue but then again they have had duel citizenship since they were a child so that make a difference too.
Sorry I'm in a hurry I haven't read if this questions been answered yet or not. Where is your documentation to back this up? I'm particularly interested in Panama some of the South American countries as well as the Philippines Malaysia Indonesia.
I depart Australia on My Irish Passport, I travel the world on My Irish Passport and the only time I Use My Australian Passport is when I want to Enter Australia.
Same kinda thing for me, I have Irish & British passports, so since Brexit it's easier to travel on my Irish passport, the British one I only really use to re-enter Britain. Before Brexit I'd use either one but I do find most countries treat you better on an Irish passport than a British one.
@nomadcapitalist so can you leave on a Caribbean passport then return to the US on your US passport?
You can also not use your foreign passport domestically (meaning where you are citizen). It is not just about entering and exiting, you have to identify as a citizen if you are a citizen of the country you are in. A funny exception is when using a foreign Identification Document (Passport/Photo ID) to get domestic ID - but even then it is not using a foreign citizenship, just a foreign Photo ID to get the domestic Photo ID.
Either-way: running to the embassy of the country where you hold citizenship is practically pointless, when you are citizen of the country you are in.
i thought you should use the passport of the country you are going TO like uk passport to go to UK and USA passport when entering the USA or am i wrong’???
I am a dual British / American citizen.
When I leave the US, I give them my British passport at the flight check-in desk and I enter the UK on my British passport. When returning to the States, I give them my American passport at the UK flight check-in desk and I enter the US on my American passport. I have never had a problem.
I do the same thing but I have triple citizenship 😂
Exactly what I do without any problems at all.
@@JuanJohn013 I do the same but I have quadruple citizenship 😂
Canada has never prohibited dual citizenship. From 1910 to 1977 Canada prohibited its citizens from acquiring foreign citizenship by a voluntary act, but not from an involuntary act (birth).
Senator Cruz was born in Canada and was therefore a Canadian citizen. But because one of his parents is an American citizen, he acquired US citizenship by an involuntary act (birth). He has officially renounced Canadian citizenship.
Malaysia is very strict about dual citizenship. However, the High Court has ruled that it is lawful for a person born in Malaysia to hold a second citizenship if acquired at birth by an involuntary act. Still, most Malaysian who have dual citizenship are fearful about acquiring foreign passports. The same is true for Indonesians who have dual citizenship at birth.
But since 1977, Canadians have been allowed to acquire multiple nationality/citizenship.
Yes, and in 2009 those Canadians who lost citizenship by acquiring a second citizenship were reinstated automatically by operation of law, retroactive to the date of loss of citizenship.
Anyone who was reinstated in 2009 must now have a Canadian passport to enter and leave Canada.
So, if you became a US citizen in 1970, you automatically lost Canadian citizenship by doing so, and you were automatically reinstated in 2009. You now need a Canadian passport to enter Canada, unless you renounce Canadian citizenship.
Thank you for clarifying this. I have been digging into Canadian citizenship laws a lot, in trying to get citizenship by descent, and it is quite confusing, all the law changes.
@@gentleeyes On April 17 2009 when Bill-C37 2008 came onto force, the Citizenship Act was amended to end citizenship by descent for persons born abroad in the second-generation. Unfortunately, the amendment extinguished the rights of those who had previously held the right but had not exercised the right before April 17, 2009.
An unfortunate effect impacted some Canadians ordinarily resident in Canada who had been born abroad of parents also ordinarily resident in Canada but also born abroad. If the parents were in government employment when the children were born abroad there was no problem. But some had been temporarily working abroad for Canadian and US companies. Sloppy legal draftsmanship did not make exceptions for parents temporarily working abroad in the private sector whose homes were in Canada.
Special provisions apply for parents who are immigrants or otherwise receive grants of citizenship. For the purpose of the Citizenship Act, their children who are born abroad are deemed to be first generation born abroad, even if their parents were born abroad.
As you can see, Canada's Citizenship Act is a total mess. The Act itself is worse than a plate of spaghetti. Even judges complain they have difficulty understanding the Citizenship Act.
Sorry Andrew - this one was confusing in your layout! Glad you wrote below for more clarity.
The comment at 5:32 "If you've been thinking of getting a second passport in case things in the US go bad..." Why is this a poor idea? Isn't the second passport mainly to get you into another country and have the ability to live there freely? Why would that be affected by the situation in the US going south? Other than a total lockdown of US citizens and not allowing anyone to leave... Hopefully most dual citizens would recognize the trend and get out before something that severe took place.
What do you mean "things get really bad?" personally? or generally?
I am a dual citizen. German/American
me too, but Austrian/American 😁
Ich auch. BRD/ DDR
That’s funny I was born and living in Germany 🇩🇪 I applied for a Canadian citizenship and was forced to give up my German citizenship.
Saying Germany only allows I citizenship. Nothing to do with Canada.
@@evelinholmes6401 it depends what year you are born. I was born 84. They changed that later. My parents are both german but if you are born in the us you automatically get the US citizenship. My son was born in Germany 2013 and his dad is american as well. He also has a dual citizenship. In your case might be Canada. The US and Germany have done kind of Abkommen.
They didn't when my former Canadian naturalized to US citizen had to choose when he moved back to Canada. He ended up dropping his US citizenship. But now, tons of Israelis have US citizenship and in fact are high up in the US Federal govt. Don't think it should be allowed because of dual loyalty and basic foreign control.
Hii Robert pls subscriber my chanal...
The Canadian Citizenship Act was amended in 1977 to allow Canadian citizens to obtain a second nationality by a voluntary act. Under the the prior 1947 Act, all Canadians were allowed to hold second nationality ONLY if acquired by a non-voluntary act, such a birth.
I myself lost Canadian citizenship in 1974 by acquiring a second citizenship but in 2009, I was reinstated as a Canadian citizen retroactive to birth under an amendment to the Citizenship Act that came into force on April 17 2009.
So if you know anyone who lost Canadian citizenship the way I did in 1974, you might inform that person s/he is now a Canadian citizen by operation of law and may apply for a citizenship certificate and passport.
Proof of birth or naturalization in Canada is all that is required as the person is now defined in law as a Canadian citizen whether or not they are aware of it.
I am legally a citizen of Hungary, but have lived in the United States for 38 years. I am applying to become a naturalized United States citizen… Is it true that once I become a naturalized United States citizen I cannot denounce my Hungarian citizenship? My stepbrother derived United States citizenship through his mother in 2004 at age 16… He claims they wouldn’t allow him to denounce his Hungarian citizenship and had to maintain duel citizenship with the United States. He ran into trouble when joining the Marines. They wouldn’t let him advance with his military career because of his dual citizenship. Is this true? Is this still a thing?
So what do you guys recommend for a American that wants his next passport? Which country is the most business friendly? But also has not too expensive real estate? I plan to possibly get 4-5 passports. Any tips?
We're happy to help when you're ready.
So what if you get dual citizenship in another country and use that passport to get a third passport without telling the US
If immigration finds out, the person doing so would be in hot water. Also note that diplomatic protection by the other two countries would *not* be unavailable - The USA can in the USA process US-Citizens according to US-Law.
A few years back you couldn’t be a U.S. citizen and a Dutch citizen. You had to choose one or the other. I’m curious to know if it is still the case.
Easier now, but not for all.
I am looking to move to the Netherlands...the only way around giving up your US citizenship in the Netherlands is if you prove that giving it up will cost you too much to do so as denouncing your citizenship also costs money to do so ...as far as I heard and read on the internet
Good information
Do you get punched out if you don't have the correct passport?
I know someone who’s a tri-citizen. Born in U.S., has passports for U.S., UK, and Germany (through family).
I wonder what country does require you to enter by the foreign passport, in case you have citizenship of 2 countries.
If you have U. S Passport and go to U. S you use your American passport
And if you also have Mexico passport, and you go to Mexico, you use Mexico passport to enter Mexico
Yes the US allows dual citizenship, but he’s right. If a US-dual, you do have to leave and return on the US passport, if you are a US dual.
I have a dual citizenship with the U.S and El Salvador
Is it just me or is that tv moving
One exception to your rule: Mexican dual citizens leaving the USA by land do not need to present a US passport upon exit.... or any passport.
Is your TV made out of jello?! 😂 Lol. Very informative video!
The UK doesn’t absolutely require British citizens to enter the UK on a British passport, if they legally hold another. What they do ask you to do is to enter on the passport that will prove you are eligible to enter for the purpose of your trip. So, for example, a dual British/other citizen can enter the UK on his other passport if he was coming to the UK for a visit. This may not be the case if the person other passport requires a UK visa. The UK would require you to enter on a British passport (or possibly an Irish passport) if you were coming for more than the normal admission period that a visitor is granted, or if you were coming to work or attend school because a non-British passport wouldn’t be proof that you are allowed to reside or work or attend school.
I always leave the US on my Italian passport and I've never had problems.
David that's cool but I thought they take away your none US passport while getting citizenship.
Prince if you’re referring to Italy , no. They’re very tolerant of others with more than one passport
Prince No, they do not. They take away your green card, but that’s it.
I’ve got US and UK passport . Is that OK?
I'm American and I recently got my UK citizenship. Now when trump bans Americans from visiting countries, I can still go.
Great idea. Let's hope things do not come to that.
Hii dear pls subscriber my chanal pls...
CNVideos Trump will not ban Americans from visiting other countries idiot...It’s IRS obligations we Americans don’t like. Also uk or any european citizenship is trash, those countries are over filled already and are culturally and geographically difficult for Americans to fit it. Am working on getting Canadian citizenship 😎.
CNVideos Trump is not going to ban US citizens from visiting other countries. Why would he do that??
For years the US government have issued travel warnings. Advising Americans to not go to certain countries for safety reasons never a ban.
How ironic is that with coronavirus now...
I is a good idear to have another passport if you are from US or UK due to suspicions against those nationalities in certain regions. As I also have a passport from a neutral country it makes processing much easier. For some reason people like to hate US and Brits I wander why.
Yeah, I agree. I have British and Irish passports, I usually travel everywhere on my Irish passport and only use the British passport to re-enter the UK. I find I'm treated better with an Irish passport
ok, thanks for this very infomative video. however my question is, I heard that if you are a US citizen, to get dual citizenship in any other country, the US will require you go denounce your US citizenship. this video doesn't say that, but it leads me to think it's possible. but that's what I've been told, so I will look for your other videos that may cover this.
Not true. The US allows dual citizenship.
@@terence8127 You're not being clear. If you're gaining US citizenship, yes. But if you're already a US citizen, Nope. Have you done research both ways? Have you seen that there are tiny exceptions (for dignitaries) but nobody else? Which way are you talking about? Also you must check the other side. While US allows it (when it's out of their control (coming to the US) the other countries dis-allow it (forcing to renounce citizenship upon gaining citizenship in another country). Of course the US does not have control over other countries, so your statement is too vague.

You can't hold a security clearance but other than that having duel citizenship is fine.
TheSocratesian there are SOME security clearances you can’t hold, decided on a case by case basis, but you can hold most security clearances as a dual citizen.
NOT a TS/SCI which is the gold standard depending on the type of work you do. I have seen secret clearances get revoked when the government learned that someone was a dual citizen.
@@TheSocratesian Lying during security clearance check is the real problem. If someone those not report his dual citizenship status for the background check when the background check form specifically asks for it, then that is called lying. Lying on a background check form is reason enough to revoke any security clearance and escort the person out of the building. On the other-hand: Embassies and Consulates usually do not mind hiring dual citizens. In fact: In some cases that is common practice or it happens "sooner or later" when both countries are on friendly therms and allow for dual citizenship. So really: Just be honest on background check forms - that is the most important part of the background check. Lying there means always lying.
@@sarowie Lying on any part of the process is grounds to deny it for sure.
Why do you think the U.S allows duel citizenship with Canada and Nicaragua but NOT Mexico since there’s a lot of them here??
If you are a US citizen, but entering the US with a UK passport, how does the CBP officer on the spot know you are a US citizen?
hi Nomad
I was able to exit the US a couple of time on my Jamaican passport without any issue.
When exiting the US, there is usually never any immigration check. I know it sounds weird, but it is true.
Well, I should re-phrase that. When you check-in for your flight the airline will ask to see your passport. But, there won't be an exit stamp. And you won't see or talk to US immigration. When you enter sometimes you get an entry stamp, sometimes you don't.
Richard's World Traveler especially true when entering Mexico
They did not won't you hear!LOL PEACE!
Kerry and Associates LLP did they ask u what passport you used when u left the US upon arrival?
So, if I have a US Passport and an Irish Passport, when I leave the US - I leave on the US passport.

@@nomadcapitalist Thank you SOOO much!
I don't have a passport. When I was in the US military, and traveled overseas, a passport was not required. I have dual citizenship. Because I'm descended from Scottish royalty, Scotland recognizes me as a Scottish citizen. This is a royal birthright. Just as my American citizenship is a birthright, because I was born here.
I would imagine you would need a US passport to reenter the US. By the way, on my mother's side, my great grandparents came to the US from Ireland. My great grandfather came from County Mayo. I'm very proud of my Scots and Irish descent.
@@DoowopLover Technically, to enter a country where a person is citizen of, they do not need a passport. How and why should a citizen require a passport to return home? Prove of citizenship is all it needs. Sure, Passport is the most common and easiest prove. But U.S. Passport Card, Enhanced driver's license, National identity card, ... all work. If in doubt: Just state loose of documents and be prepared to deal with police and immigration.
@@sarowie There are different laws in different countries regarding whether someone needs a passport or not. Especially after 9-11, some of the laws to enter the US have changed. When I went to renew my Florida driver's license some years ago, I had to produce my original birth certificate or a certified copy from the state of New Jersey, because I was born there. There are new laws called the Homeland Security laws. Now, we have to prove our identity.

If you a natural born citizen of the US, can you be a citizen (dual) of another country?
Yes.
So this is where I'm confused about dual citizenship for a naturalized US citizen. When becoming a citizen of the US you swear to the following Oath.
The Oath of Allegiance
“I hereby declare, on oath, that I absolutely and entirely renounce and abjure all
allegiance and fidelity to any foreign prince, potentate, state, or sovereignty, of whom
or which I have heretofore been a subject or citizen".
So by you remaining a citizen of another country and carrying a passport of that country means you are breaking that oath and therefor the law?
Also, what will you do if the

I have dual citizenship. US & UK. I had a friend who was born in Greece and when she became a US citizen claimed she was told that she could no longer hold a Greek passport but could travel freely between the two countries.
weird, rumors that Tom Hanks just got dual citizenship with Greece
Some countries do not permit dual citizenship. The USA is not one of them.
Why use have dual nationality ...what's the logic? Answers me plz
Kubra Parveen many reasons. 1 when you leave the us as an American you are allowed to be only certain amount of time in a foreign country, where as, if you have dual citizenship you can stay in the other country for as long as you want. 2. You can retire and get retirement social security from two places, let’s say you have a citizen of USA and another one from Germany. (Healthcare is better in Europe btw) you will be able to get retirement from both places. Etc etc
What's wrong with your TV?
My brother in law has dual citizenship . American and Canadian.
Need some info please how do I as an Australian get duel citizenship with the US ??
If you are a USA citizen and you want to leave when things get rough, you don't deserve to be a citizen. Stay and fight for your country.
This honestly just confused me more
Too distracted by dudes constantly moving and morphing background to pay any attention to what he was saying.
So how does it work practically? Let's say you have US-UK dual citizenship. Does that mean you leave the US with your US passport, enter the UK with your UK passport, leave the UK with your UK passport and re-renter the US with your US passport?
You can also leave with your UK Passport from the USA but will have to use your USA Pasaport entering the USA again.
Yes.
Can you have dual citizenship with the US and New Zealand
Yes
I've been thinking about getting another passport. I'm British, I immigrated to Canada in my late teens and just after I got my Canadian passport, Brexit happened. I like having an EU passport. My Grandfather is Irish and I checked and I qualify for an Irish passport. Ireland is remaining in the EU, so I'm thinking maybe I should complete the paperwork. My father registered me with Ireland when I was born, so I would have the option of doing this.
Except I'm not sure if it's right to do that. Three passports would be expensive to upkeep and what if I never move back to Europe? And does it get silly at a certain point? I'm still uncertain about traveling on my Canadian passport, I bring my British passport but only show it when entering England.
So, third citizenship? Nay or yay?
Yay hooray !
Hello, it's a very good question, it all depends on what your plans. We can help you with finding the right strategy: nomads.leadpages.co/fk-andrew-consultation/
Hi my cousin had same worries until he meet an agent who helped him out with all the paperwork and I think it wasn't that expensive considering the stress if he had too alone. If you do feel like you need assistant on that hit me so I link you to them.
It all depends on your priorities. Do you ever plan to work/study in Europe or stay there for a pro-longed period (longer than 6 months?). Or just travel? Do you live near Irish consulate and are you willing to renew your Irish passport there in person every 10 years before plans in Europe? You might be required to have one, once you are registered EU citizen, if EU implements ETIAS (equivalent to US ESTA) and won't allow dual EU citizens to obtain travel authorization on non-EU passports. It's too early to tell. If you plan to work a for a government agency that requires a national security clearance then dual citizenship may make it harder. It all depends on your personal situation.
As you were registered by your Dad it looks like you just need a copy of this from your local Irish Consulate and the €80 fee every 10 years. In terms of “hassle” on renewal, I live outside Ireland, and applied for my passport renewal online on a Saturday, it arrived the following Thursday. So if you meet the conditions, once you have your first passport, subsequent renewals seem very efficient now.
My daughter is dual citizen american&filipino citizen
Awak Kat mana ? Saya pandai cakup bahasa Melayu
You can leave from the USA with your second passport to the country that’s issue from but can’t re-enter with it. You’ll need to use the USA passport to come back to the USA. Yes you can be in the US as a US citizen and still go to your embassy from the other country your from and take shelter from US government law as a citizen of the other country.
No you cannot go to your 2nd country's embassy in the US and ask for help against the US if you're also a US citizen!
I am Colombian citizen and USA naturalized citizen . Now I am Canadian resident. I am considering getting the Canadian citizenship to avoid renewing the residence every 5 years. Can the USA government take away my usa citizenship if I become citizen in Canada?
Your other citizenship can only be used in other country not in the US. Why this guy bother himself to say that US is not allowing other passport when you do not use it in the US.
Can US citizens get a second passport
Can you explain why when I became a naturalized USA citizen I was asked to revoke my previous citizenship, and to swear loyalty to the USA construction only? I struggle with all these concepts and people telling me they have dual citizenship. I googled this information also, unless I misunderstood, we cannot have dual citizenship. I know lots of people do, so why asking to revoke the previous one???
Yam P they tried to talk me óut of my british one but i declined to drop my british citizenship
so i now are dual national
Pandora E
Really? I was not even given a choice. I was told I had to swear loyalty to the USA constitution only. I really don’t mind, but I struggle people telling me otherwise. Thanks for the info.
Yam P yes they tried that w me because the USA doesn’t like dual nationality I think you can still apply for citizenship if your native country doesn’t have an issue w it
The uk doesn’t care
it wasn't an issue until the Mexican government opened the door for dual citizenship for certain qualified individuals. Being a dual Mexican/U.S. tends to ruffle some feathers.
Jorge O. What do you mean?
If you don't understand my original comment, I can't help you.
Jorge O. 😂😂😂 Nomames Wee
Shhhhhhh...... no le digas a nadie. Tengo cinco decadas en este planeta con doble nacionalidad USA/Mexico. Si sigo asi por otras 3-4 decadas ya chingue.
I have a friend born and partially raised in the USA. Parents emigrated to Canada and they became Canadian Citizens. He lived and worked In Mexico and became a Mexican citizen. He resides in Canada. However if the IRS decided to pursue his whatever assets they probably would, they have looked at ex patriot American's for just that purpose. Not aware if it's happened or exactly why. Probably to go after hidden U.S. assets, for tax evasion and so on.
The U.S. does not destroy your passport. I have a few friends that are dual citizens from Canada. Its a myth.
I have dual, Spain and USA passports. I wonder if I go back to Spain, do I still have to pay taxes to the USA even I don't work in the US anymore?
I want to get my passport from Spain my question is....if you leave the U.S and return to the U.S using a US passport, how long can you stay in Spain? can you stay as long as you want? how does that work?
young forever i heard the usa does ding y0u forever,, you pay taxez no matter where you live
it sucks
Yes it doesn’t matter where you’re living you still need to pay taxes to the USA
@@orlandotelevision as a US citizen you are only allowed to stay 90 days in Spain but if you have a passport from Spain then when you’re ready to return back to the US just use your Spaniard Pasaport when leaving Spain and when entering the US use your US passport
I am not a tax lawyer or accountant so take it with a grain of salt. An American working outside the US who spends no more than 30 days of a continuous 360 day period in the US does not have take pay federal (and in many cases) state income taxes on around the first $100,000 or so that they make. Anything above that the tax rates kick in as if you had to pay everything ie. Your$100,001 dollar is taxed that way not as if it is your first dollar. The rub comes in with countries that have income taxes (I am guessing Spain does) usually have treaties with the US that allows them to charge income tax on that amount not taxed by the US government. Again speak with an actual professional to get the real deal info, and don’t take this as tax or financial advice.
I wanna do a year in malaysia. I'm still stuck in america.
Do it!
As far as I know, MM2H in Malaysia is a program targeting both high-income retirees abroad and also high-quality talents. So it makes sense when they have certain requirements to filter out those who do not meet the requirement.
Can I get triple citizenship? Born in USA - parents from Northetn Ireland (uk) and ancestors are from Ireland.
You can have dual citizenship in the US.
It's Israel, and we all know it.
After announcing my citizenship can I regain it? (US, Mexico, Canada)
If some one apply for dual that person need to change US birth certificate names per example mexico names are different Father is middle and Mothers is last name
My cousin is American born and bred but he also holds a northern Irish passport due to our Grandfather.
bred*
What exactly is a “Northern Irish passport”? You mean a British or an Irish passport depending on the passport he holds.
@@robertdonnan2893 It allows you access to Britain but the Northern Ireland passport allows the right to live in the Republic of Ireland as well, a British passport doesn't allow me to live in the Republic.
What about an American born who takes another passport from another country your living in
Omg take that sheet rag off your face. Be free, god brought us tp this world naked. Why covering your face?? God would NOT want that
Dual citizenship just in the government. Look at Israel
in congress and senate. Must ask where there loyalty stands Israel or america...
mrmartin
Jews only loyal to Israel
One of the main reasons I am leaving this country.
i wish they go with simple yes no, but….. this and thay.
I am sorry, I can't afford Duel Citizenship. It is bullshit, choose who you are loyal to.
I'm Native American. Mohawk. Brantford 6 Nations.
I have a Dual citizenship because of the Jay Treaty.
I can speak for morocco as a dual citizen, they let me come in with US passport and Moroccan national ID, of course they stamp my US passport, but treat me as a Moroccan citizen meaning I dot not have to check in at the police station every so often as foreigners do, I can stay as long as I want even if I came in with a US passport. Of course if I don’t have my Moroccan National ID then I would be treated as a foreigner.
There's no penalty for entering the USA on a non-usa passport if you're a us citizen. There used to be but it's repealed now. All the TSA agent cares about is that your passport is valid.
TSA guys are the ones who check you and your carry-on baggage. CBP guys check your passport when you are entering US soil.
This is incorrect. Entry to the US (from a visa waiver country) requires an ESTA (or form non-VW countries a visa from DoS) which will not normally be granted since your other passport will show your place of birth as in the USA. The only exception is for the children of diplomats, a rare exception and one that actually normally causes a delayed ESTA and requires a DoS visit at a consulate or embassy. As noted TSA checks for WEI in baggage and on your person. CBP checks immigration and customs. Airlines will normally not allow you to board without the US passport or Visa waiver ESTA.
Interesting. It is my understanding an American citizen can lose their citizenship if living in another country and joining that countries military. That citizen is also required to tell the US Government of any land he owns overseas. I wonder how all that works with dual citizenship.
Divergent Droid .. yes. It requires it. So they can charge you taxes. Don't know how that works, you pay taxes to whatever country you own land in, and also to the U.S.A, you are paying taxes for a land that doesn't belong to the States! isn't that crazy?
In order to lose US citizenship, you must intentionally renounce it. Just living somewhere else is not sufficient to lose US citizenship.
Jeff we aren't talking about JUST living somewhere else.. we are talking living somewhere else AND doing things that are Against your privileges of citizenship. The guy that loses his citizenship because he refused to pay the US Government taxes on what land he bought or became General of an enemy army well he didn't have to Announce his Intentions to Leave the US, or officially renounce it but it counts just the same in the Governments eyes.
Divergent Droid You cannot lose your citizenship for nonpayment of taxes.
Even joining a foreign military would only count if the US government could prove you did so with the intent of renouncing citizenship. Enlisting in a non-belligerent country would almost never cost you citizenship. A stronger case could be made for being an officer, and in a belligerent would change things further.
That’s a lie you only pay income taxes not property taxes to USA if you own property outside of the USA & don’t use it as a rental/lease. Property taxes go to country were the property is located in, but if you rent, lease or sell property then you must pay taxes to the USA since they would fall under/as income just like when you pay taxes based on the money you made from working in the USA.
To further the point, here is the naturalization oath I took when I was 10 years old. “Naturalization Oath of Allegiance to the United States of America
Oath
"I hereby declare, on oath, that I absolutely and entirely renounce and abjure all allegiance and fidelity to any foreign prince, potentate, state, or sovereignty, of whom or which I have heretofore been a subject or citizen; that I will support and defend the Constitution and laws of the United States of America against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I will bear arms on behalf of the United States when required by the law; that I will perform noncombatant service in the Armed Forces of the United States when required by the law; that I will perform work of national importance under civilian direction when required by the law; and that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; so help me God."
Pls subscribe my chanal
Taking the US oath of allegiance is insufficient in many countries to cause loss of citizenship. Such a declaration is not recognized by either Canada or the UK. In several countries a person must show proof of having a second nationality and fill out a declaration to APPLY to renounce citizenship.
All countries recognize the status of "nationality". But some countries do not define citizenship but only nationality. In effect, "citizenship" did not gain widespread usage until the French Revolution in 1789. Citizenship may have been re-invented by Thomas Jefferson.
The UK has 6 categories of British Nationality, only one of which confers UK citizenship.
Canada and the UK have defined "British subject" status as synonymous with "Commonwealth citizenship." (But a series of Canada's Ministers of Citizenship seems to have been unaware of this amendment to the 1947 Citizenship Act.)
Some countries, including the US, define citizens and nationals separately. People of American Samoa are US nationals, but not US citizens.
A person born in Mexico whose parents are not foreign diplomats is a Mexican national who becomes a Mexican citizen on reaching voting age.
Mexico seems to have the most sensible arrangement for nationality and citizenship. Since it is obvious that in countries such as US, UK, Canada, people below the voting age lack full civil rights.
US cannot cancel any foreign citizenship because they have no jurisdiction to do that, otherwise I suspect that it would do that. Only your birth country can cancel your citizenship if its laws allow it. Ex, Germany cancel German citizenship to Germans who become Americans, and I believe it's the only European country to do that.
but you still have to pay American income taxes any where in the world even if you are not living in the US want to look it up go to the US tax code
Yes; we discuss that a lot here.
A lot italian americans, british have dual citizenship
us does not have exit control
I don't think you have the right information because when I became US Citizen in 2013, they took away my Paraguayan passport. I only have one US Passport.
whats the deal with non citizen nationals?
Only certain people from American Samoa are US Nationals instead of citizens. Roughly ~50,000.
You can not have a duel citizenship if you're a member of the US armed forces. You will have to renounce the other citizenship in order to be called a G.I. If there's a war between the US and your "other" country of origin, one will get the option to take part in that war against it or not. As a former recruiter, I know this for a fact.
Tummun Renounce not denounce? You don't have to criticize the Old Sod, saying how awful it is? :)
K Kr
Roger, it's different typo that was.
Tummun actually, you can enlist without having US citizenship at all. Serving in a war zone as a non-citizen is actually the only way to become a US citizen with no waiting period.
Jeff Gebhart
Yes, but the catch is one must posses at least a green card. Without it, nada
Tummun There is no way to naturalize as a US citizen without a green card.
That is untrue my parents both from Poland have duel citizenship to the Us and Poland !!!
