Does anyone else on here other than me have a dual citizenship? If so what citizenships? Which country do you live in? In general which country do you support more and identify more closely with?

I hold a dual citizenship, American-Canadian. I live in Canada, however I support America more as a country than Canada. I don't particularly like the leaders of either country, but I do like Bush more than Martin. However, since I'm right-wing and Canada is a fairly liberal country, I tend to support America as a nation more, although I tend to like Canada's environment far more.

I wish I could officially have a Colombian citizenship as well as an American one. However, that would kill my chances of being President.

I was about to be a dual citizenship holder (Australia - India) but our family didn't want to take a risk because if we were cought somewhere the Indian nor the Australian Government would help us get out of the mess.

For your informantion i am from India but i have been living in Australia for the last three years. i like India better becuase it is my home country.

But i have a better future in Australia from the job point of view.

I have dual French-British citizenship. I live in France.

heh... i have three citizenships... Aussie (where i live), NZ (maternal family) UK (paternal family)... i can work almost anywhere in the world, and dont need a visa for any non exSoviet Bloc (and china) nation... :-)

I have a new zealand passport and a british passport. I think i could get a malaysian one because i was born there but two is just fine really.

Dual Citizenship is such a load of crap. Choose for God's Sake!

I know I guy who has Hungarian and Croatian citizenships as well as American

Give up your new zealand citizenship and move to brittain

My mother held a dual citizenship until she turned 21 in both the US and Germany because she was born on German soil. She would've had to move to Germany when she turned 21 to keep it though, so she just stayed here in the US.

...until she turned 21 in both the US and Germany ...
ROFL

What exactly is Dual Citizenship?

Anyway, I am entitled to three passports, Dutch [which I hold], British [Where I have lived all my life], and Irish [because of my mum]. And maybe South African, not to sure on that though.

Ahh. Do you actually have to have them, or just be allowed to have them?

Just curious, do people with dual-citizenships get to vote in elections in all countries they hold citizenship to? Just started wondering when I saw the thread.

I was born and raised in Wellington and have a New Zealand passport.

erm, that makes me singular.

Yes.
My wife is dual British-Croatian, but doesn't bother to vote in Croatia (since they're all a bunch of crooks anyway). Yes, I know... but their thieving lying cheating politicians are more blatant about it than our thieving lying cheating politicians.

People in Puerto Rico have a choice. When they turn 18 they choose to be either a US or a Puerto Rico citizen. One of the more interesting US commonwealths.

When I lived in Cambria County PA, USA in the early 1990's, there was a local judge who got in legal trouble, first for sexually harassing female court employees and later there were charges of bribery and corruption. Joseph O'kicki was born and raised in PA but fled to Slovenia, where he was entitled to citizenship because of his parents, and as a Slovenian citizen it was doubtful he would be extradited to the US. He died in Slovenia before the matter was resolved.

Back in Communist days the US State Department used to warn travelers to
the Soviet bloc countries about dual citizenship and traveling on passports from those countries. I knew of people born in Poland, for instance, who had both Polish and US citizenship, but if they went there on a Polish passport they risked not getting back out of the country and possibly
being drafted into the military there. Still, some would take Polish passports
and do that, out of sentimental attachments or whatever. I don't know if that's still a concern these days.

Interesting, I thought all Puerto Ricans were US citizens.
