The answer is subjective, depends on the nations one has for each passport and their diplomatic ties. There are also complications on who takes jurisdiction during crisis (like disaster or war) since one country will argue on who should take control of repatriation. For example, when the Iranian conflict started: evacuation flights issued by let’s say by Germany for German citizens, what happens if an British person also has a German passport (a dual citizen of a EU and a non-EU country), wouldn’t the UK also say they’re also a citizen.
This is what I mean, during certain situations or a crisis: who takes charge if the individual is from 2 nationalities which may cause a dispute between both sides? Like, if Britain said “This guy is British” (refering to being stranded in UAE during a drone attack) but Germany recants “He’s also ours”. Although the repatriation flights are intended to be for German nationals stuck there, despite the individual also having a British passport even though Germany considers this person a German citizen by their second passport.
Germany has just recently relaxed the rules on this and it is now almost trivial to get dual citizenship, especially compared to how hard it used to be.
This might be based on different countries I guess but I know Germany and Australia it is very easy.
Do you have both nationalities? Just curious. If you do, I might have a few questions for you.
Thanks for the correction. I’m positively shocked to learn about this.
It only happened in the last year, or even the last six months to truly be in effect. It was a huge position shift for the German government as part of their effort to increase skilled worker immigration and retention.
