I do not have info on Belarus, but for Ukraine one is allowed to keep all citizenships acquired automatically (e.g. a child of Ukrainian nationals born in US is both US and Ukrainian citizen, and does not lose either)
So, in summary, there is probably no country which completely prohibit dual citizenship.
I seem to recall that it was not allowed in Norway until recently.
Bosnia allows dual citizenship
What’s its mean allowed with restrictions ?
Slovakia’s restrictions were put in place because Hungary offers its citizenship to basically everyone who lives here and speaks Hungarian (exact condition is to be descended from a Hungarian citizen, including pre-1920 Hungarian citizens, which includes all Slovaks who lived here at that time as Slovakia was part of Hungary back then)
So currently you can only have dual citizenship if you earn the Slovak citizenship as your second one (you can still re-gain your Slovak citizenship this way if you lose it), or if you earn two citizenships at birth (being born in a Jus Soli country or to two different Jus Sanguinis countries’ citizens).
There is a planned change to allow dual citizenships if you earn the second one after living at least 5 years in another country, but is currently blocked in parliament because some politicians argue 5 years is too much, others argue that living in another country can be faked, hungarian nationalists argue it’s gonna be even more discriminating to hungarians, …
Spain doesn’t allow.
Theze colours are absolutely terrible.
Signed: a tired and colourblind person.
Always thought NL didn’t allow dual nationality
Lithuanian restrictions are super strict. Basically you should either had born in Lithuania before independence and had migrated somewhere else (basically pre ww2) or you are very very important figure for Lithuania and president gives you 2nd citizenship.
norway with restrictions?
Ukraine is incorrect.
Easy life in Portugal, you can have whatever you desire 🙂
my mom is from Ukraine but was born in Russia and has double citizenship. Did the law change recently?
Citizenship and passports are not the same thing. I have one citizenship and two passports that I can have in my pocket.
The title is not matching the picture as there should be countries with 3 as an answer.
Q: “how many x can you have?”
A: “restricted, not restricted, allowed & forbidden”
Cool counting…
So countries that border Russia and countries that border Serbia don’t want dual citizens… I wonder why…
Not true. In Bosnia&Herzegovina around 10% of the total population holds Croatian passports as well, that was actually the main reason why Croatia waited so long for the US Visa Waiver program because holders of Croatian passports in Bosnia were getting rejected by such a high margin that it pushed the whole national rehection rate over the needed threshold.
In Spain you can only have dual citizenship with Latin American countries. If you want to have other dual citizenship with other countries you have to do lots of tricks to retain one passport.
It’s a pity, to be honest.
What about triple citizenship?
I wonder what’s the highscore for multiple citizenships
I was fascinated by the triple citizenship of that lady Ghislaine Maxwell. Who has 3 citizenships? 3!? What for? Why? How!? Just weird rich stuff…
Why Crimea showed as part of Ukraine? Close to zero chance for becoming Ukraine again.
Something that I learned a while back is that nomatter where a person in the world is born, if either mother or father is a polish citizen, then a child is automatically a polish citizen until that child renounces their citizenship.
My friend is Polish and her husband is not. They live in Uk and both of their children, born in 2006 and 2008, are polish citizens under this rule. They never lived in Poland and do not have polish Passports. When they travel to Poland (to see her parents or on holiday) they always experience problems coming through border control as they are constantly harassed for children’s Polish passports. They think that this is becuase Poland wants their children to serve mandatory army service if there will be a need.
Austria is not quite true. Dual citizenship is only allowed in very very specific cases.
In general, if you want austrian citizienship, you have to abandon your old one.
Dual pasports are whats wrong with europe
Only two passports is not allowed in Ukraine. Three passports is ok.
What restrictions in Switzerland?
False, I currently have a US and a Belarusian passport
For Ireland, there are no restrictions in relation to naturalisation – basically, anyone can acquire dual citizenship so long as they have been living in the country for five years. Dual citizenship at birth can also occur if at least one parent is an Irish citizen, with no distinctions made as to how that status was acquired, but as stated below, if neither parent had Irish nationality at that time, then the child will also have to be naturalised in the future.

In Bosnia and Herzegovina, dual citizenship is quite common, and even regulated with treaties with Serbia and Croatia.
