Dual/Multiple citizenship: Which countries permit dual citizenship?

dual citizenships

A dual citizen is a citizen of more than one country at the same time. Most of the developed nations the world, freely allow their citizens to hold dual/multiple citizenships, yet you have to be careful that law in some countries provides for the automatic termination of its citizenship, if you acquire foreign citizenship. Some countries require a compulsory military service. Your citizenship by birth, marriage or naturalisation, may have a different effect on your dual citizenship status.  Dual citizenship usually allowed for children until they reach 18 years, by many countries, after which they are given a choice of one citizenship.  Some countries like Germany allow dual citizenship by birth, but forbid dual citizenship, when you naturalise.

Before going through detailed list, here are are quick summary of countries that do not allow dual citizenship. All other countries are liberal in accepting dual citizenship status.

I have compiled a detailed list of dual citizenship laws in over 200 countries:

Afghanistan:  Afghanistan does not recognize dual citizenship, however, a “former citizen of Afghanistan, who fled the country due to political instability or war and has acquired new citizenship, may still hold “unofficial” Afghan citizenship.  Persons concerned with dual citizenship should not assume their Afghan citizenship was lost by default. Embassy should be contacted and citizenship formally renounced.

Article 7 of the Law on Citizenship indicates that “[a]nyone who, according to the orders of this law, is citizen of the [Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan] can not hold a double citizenship position” (ibid. 2000).
