Can a U.S. Citizen hold dual citzenship?

Question

I have recently discovered that I can apply for Irish citzenship because of my family. If I do, can I maintain dual citzenship or choose one over the other.

Answer 1

You can have dual citizenship

Answer 2

yes! I was born to american parents, but born in Costa Rica. i currently live in the United States. i have dual  citizenship. Also, you don't have choose one over the other when you turn 18 anymore.

Answer 3

Yes, you can hold dual citizenship, although, as noted on the US government web site listed below, the US government does not encourage US citizens to become dual citizens.  

Please look into the income tax laws.  You must file US tax every year no matter if you are living in the US or not.  The US will tax your worldwide income every year.  There are tax treaties with various countries that can minimize being taxed in two countries, however if you choose to live for a year outside the US you will likely have to file income tax in that country and definitly in the US also.

In many countries other than the US, if you do not own property in the country and are not living in the country you do not have to file an income tax return.  This is not so for the US.

I am a dual US and Canadian citizen, who grew up in the US and moved to Canada 20 years ago for a job.  (I had a work visa the first 5 years I was in Canada).

Answer 4

No, you will be shipped right back to mexico if you do that.

Answer 5

America allows dual nationality.  Check with Irish authorities to see if they allow it too.  (UK does)

Answer 6

from what i know for a person to get dual citizenship you have to be born outside the united states  and if you migrated to the US and became a citizen then you can get dual citizenship.

Answer 7

There is a such a  thing as dual citizenship in the U.S. Many people have dual Canadian/US citizenship. I don't kow about the Irish laws.

Answer 8

Yes US allows dual citizenship.  Not with all the countries though. Dual citizenships are agreement between two countries to honour. I am not sure about Ireland. You might want to check with Ireland Immigration and citizenship services or with USCIS.

Answer 9

Yes, BUT if you apply for citizenship in another country, the US government can treat you as though you have abandoned you US citizenship.
