SECOND CITIZENSHIP AND RESIDENCE PERMITS

Enjoy the benefits of a second citizenship or a new country of residence

Multiple citizenship, dual citizenship, multiple nationality or dual nationality, is a person's citizenship status, in which a person is concurrently regarded as a citizen of more than one country under the laws of those countries. Conceptually, citizenship is focused on the internal political life of the country and nationality is a matter of international dealings.

There is no international convention which determines the nationality or citizenship status of a person. This is defined exclusively by national laws, which can vary and conflict with each other.

Multiple citizenship arises because different countries use different, and not necessarily mutually exclusive, criteria for citizenship.

A person holding multiple citizenship is, generally, entitled to the rights of citizenship in each country whose citizenship he or she is holding (such as right to a passport, right to enter the country, right to residence and work, right to vote, etc.), but may also be subject to obligations of citizenship (such as a potential obligation for national service, becoming subject to taxation on worldwide income, etc.).

Taking up citizenship whether through investment or residence in another country is an important decision which can be both lengthy and costly.

Therefore, regardless of your goals and reasons for acquiring second citizenship or permanent residence, this decision needs to be approached meticulously and carefully scrutinized ahead of time.
