I thought the US didn’t recognize the dual citizenship, so in the Governments eyes you are a US citizen and still have to follow US law and pay US taxes. Maybe I’m thinking about it wrong.

While America allows dual citizenship, some countries like Japan do not allow it.
And if wealth starts leaving the US as result of this law, it will be revoked. The US expat tax to renounce is the most punitive in the world.

Both sides of my family have been here since at least the mid 1700s. No easy way out of this shite show for me.

My understanding is that the U.S. does not recognize duel citizenship, but they won’t keep you from having it.

I do because my father is a Venezuelan citizen and he registered me at birth.
That’s about as useless as being a dual citizen with North Korea.

I have a dual citizenship with Australia (dad is Aussie) and once my wife (no pics) is naturalized in the next few months, she will have a dual citizenship with Thailand.
Both countries are pretty strict about getting a dual, as in you would have to live there or have a parent from there.
I hear Spain is handing out citizenships for people that buy property there (or at least they were pre-covid). Exercise your OT baller status and buy yourself a Spanish villa.

The US has agreements with certain countries to recognize dual-citizenships, but certainly not all countries. Until about 20 years ago, the US and Australia didnt have an agreement in place. My dad never got naturalized because he didnt want to give up his Aussie citizenship and my brother and I would have had to give up our dual and choose once we turned 18. Would have made it more of a hassle to go visit all of our family. Luckily, an ageement was reached in the early 2000s so dad got naturalized and I get to keep my dual for life.

My wife has her American citizenship but never fully gave up her Indonesian citizenship. She isn't truly dual citizenship as far as I know but if she gives up her Indo citizenship the corrupt Government there will actually take her house from her. We are trying to go there when CV19 allows us to so we can make some repairs to it and sell it so she doesn't lose it. She left there 16 years ago and she's lucky it hasn't been taken already.

I had dual citizenship but had to renounce it when I joined the military in order to gain the security clearance needed for my job.

I was born in Australia but missed birthright citizenship by a few years. Always thought it would have been cool to have dual citizenship but given their current covid clusterfrick, they can keep it.

With very few exceptions, I cannot see the need or benefit of dual citizenship.
I’ve heard rumblings of countries like Italy and Greece trying to apply taxes to earnings for those with dual citizenship. Ie, you will pay tax in both the US and in Italy regardless of where you earned the money. Italy supposedly trying to lure people into getting dual citizenship so they can lower the boom down the road.
It just seems pointless to me.

I tried to get Canadian 10-15 years ago. My grandmother was a natural born Canadian, but passed away in the late 70's. At the time, you had to have a current Canadian citizen that was family sponsor you, so they denied me. Was kind of pissed at my dad at the time for never getting his while she was alive.
I may have the details a bit wrong, but that was the gist of it. Looked into Ireland, but my closest connection is my great great grandmother.

I am a U.S. and U.K. citizen. UK by birth via my Dad doing O&G there for so long that he became the equivalent to a permanent resident. Pending my Mexican "green card" via my husband
Husband is Mexican and U.S. permanent resident and German citizen.
We like to have options - for jobs, apocalypse, etc
International couple

Yeah it’s embarrassing to see what they’ve allowed themselves to become. If it weren't for the fact that I would like to be able to visit my family without hassle, I wouldn’t feel the need to keep it.
Maybe at some point down the road when my parents are gone I will renounce it.
Its overrated as hell down there and I hate spiders, so I dont really see myself wanting to go back once my grandma/uncles pass away.

Becoming a dual citizen without having a parent from there in most countries is usually not that easy and involves a long term living with a job or ownership of property and/or a business and a bunch of red tape paperwork and procedures
Thanks. I said the same thing and got downvoted. Besides the fact I know what I’m talking about bc I have dual citizenship(s)
