Multiple citizenship

Multiple nationality, also known as multiple citizenship, happens when a person is legally a citizen of multiple countries at the same time. This means the person is a citizen in both countries and has the rights and obligations of both.

Multiple nationality/citizenship can happen in many ways, such as being born in one country when your parents citizens of a different country, naturalization, or marriage.
