Re: Citizenship of 3 countries - is this allowed?
Would you knock it off with the vague 'best mate of a distant cousin of mine' business?'
If you explain the circumstances, maybe your friends' situations will make sense. Otherwise, you are talking crap with broad statements like the quoted one.
I am American, am a dual citizen and so is everyone in my family except my poor father.
If anything, there's more permission for multiple citizenship now than there was 50 years ago.

You know, you can really tell it's school holidays. Do your parents know you're spending all this time in front of the computer?

No it's not. My son, grandson and brother all have dual citizenship and only my grandson was born in the US. No issues with obtaining US citizenship for any of them.

Re: Citizenship of 3 countries - is this allowed?
Again, you are very vague. Born where? I have asked you at least 4 times for a specific example I think. Anyway, my husband is UK and has acquired US. I pay extremely close attention to this topic and there are no new laws about it. It's like trying to discuss something with the wind.. there is nothing really to discuss with you, but you should deepen your knowledge before making vague posts to upset others with non-facts.

With Germany and some other countries, there are steps the person has to take before acquiring another citizenship, but this is by no means a general rule for all of the EU (the Dutch are another tricky one).

Based my comments on the German guy I work with and a Dane as well, who both refuse to take out Australian citizenship, as they both say they would have to forsake their native citizenship, something neither are prepared to do.

I wouldn't either. I love Australia and am proud to be a citizen but if it was at the cost of my British I wouldn't have done it.

Danish = you're right, as far as I know he would lose Danish citizenship, but other Danish migrants to Australia, who see Australia as their home and future, have not been deterred by this.

German = he can keep German citizenship provided he gets a "Beibehaltungsgenehmigung" from the German authorities before applying for Australian citizenship. http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beibehaltungsgenehmigung.

The Danish guy has been here for 30yrs but still won't surrender his Danish citizenship. I think his plan is, even after all this time away, to eventually retire back to Denmark.

Its clearly stated on the US website what you can lose your us citizenship for. If you are educated you would have the skills to look it up yourselves.

Some of us have massive mortgages and have to work to pay the bills to live in Perth. Becoz in this city if your not living in the Western Subs you are a ****ing nobody and the locals will treat you like shit.
