Is there a thing called "triple citizenship"?

Question

i am a Filipina, and my boyfriend has a dual citizenship -- British - South African. When we get married, what would my citizenship be? Can i retain my Filipino citizenship?

Answer 1

yes one can have triple citizenships if they get dual from their parents and then a third if they are born in another country and their parents are in that country legally, and not just visiting.

Answer 2

yes

Answer 3

It's technically possible although that depends on the laws of the individual countries involved.

I'll have triple citizenship in a few years because no country of which I am a citizen imposes restrictions on that, but other countries have different regulations.

In the vast majority of cases, your getting married to a foreign national does not automatically confer citizenship of that their country to you. There are other requirements to be met, in particular residency requirements, such as in the UK where you have to lived in the UK legally for 3 years before you can apply for citizenship, regardless of your marriage to a UK citizen.

The act of naturalization is a voluntary process, so if you do not wish to become a UK and/or South African citizen, you simply do not apply for it, and you will remain a Philippine citizen.

If you apply for citizenship of the UK, then I also believe you retain your Philippine citizenship.

Answer 4

You are Filipina until you become a citizen- not a resident- of another country.  

triple citizenship would be you marrying a German (for example) and your child being born in Canada.  That would confer "triple citizenship" on your child provided you were still citizens of your respective home nations and legal residents of Canada.
