Fun fact: Costa Rica didn’t allow it until a Costa Rican had to renounce his citizenship to become an American in order to be a NASA astronaut. Once he went to space he became a national hero, and the law was changed so that the Costa Rican citizenship can no longer be renounced, even if required by other countries in order to adopt a new one.

You can get away with having multiple citizenships even with countries where it is technically illegal. It’s not like many of the blue countries give a shit about the laws of every red country, and most of them will make ‘renouncing’ a bureaucratic pain in the ass. Just don’t tell them and maybe don’t go back. They aren’t nice places anyway.

Ireland has naturalized citizens living abroad long term to yearly file a form stating their intention to remain citizen of Ireland, a burden not borne by folk obtaining citizenship by descent through a single Irish grandparent, for example, and never setting foot on Irish soil.

I like how I can’t become a dual citizen of Austria, but I can for Iran.

I read an article just the other day on an Iranian-American who has been imprisoned by Iran for months because they don’t recognize his American citizenship.

„Unenforced ban“ gives wrong impression. What it means in reality is, you can get as many citizenships as you like or can, but as long as you hold the original one, you are considered the citizen of this country only.

For the ones in pink (only allowed for minors under 21), what actually happens when they turn 22?
ETA: Unrelated side note, I’d love this map to include the year that a given country allowed dual. Many of them are pretty recent.

Taiwan allows dual citizenship for native-born, but if a foreigner wants to naturalise they must give up their original citizenship

Taiwan should be light blue, not dark blue.

South Africa’s permission requirement was overturned by the courts earlier this year, it has effectively no restrictions on dual citizenship now.
