NO, dual citizenship is not allowed in J & K, or for that matter in any part of India. Unlike USA, India does not have a  dual citizenship system(where one enjoy' s two citizenship, one of his country and the other of his state/province).

Depends on what citizenship you have

It's quite possible. You can be a citizen of more than one country. Dual citizenship. I'm a Canadian citizen, but I have a British passport because it's good for all of Europe.

As you may gather from the lack of response so far, your question is not clear. What do really want to ask?\n\nYou are either a citizen of a country or not. You are a native of that country if you are born there or if you are born in another country of parents who are citizens of that country (usually). You are a "naturalized" citizen if, being a citizen of another country, you agree to a formal ceremony in which the new country recognizes you as a citizen. In some cases, you can have "dual citizenship," if a country still recognizes you as a citizen even if you have pledged allegiance to another through the formal ceremony.\n\nA country may also honor a person who has done something to help it by designating a person as an "honorary citizen."

the USA is the one of the two sides that REALLY care about you holding dual citizenship.....trust me on the whole the EU does not BUT.......remember Poland will then be able to call you for military service etc etc, so it might be worth questioning deeply why you want to hold this passport............\n\nOver the age of 18 you must pick one side or the other....my son had to pick at that age [in fact slightly before] and had to more or less renounce his other citizenship else certain jobs would NOT be open to him.................

Regardless of where a child is born, they automatically get the citizenship of whatever country their parents' are citizens of.  For most countries, they are also considered citizens of whatever country they are born in.  So, in theory, you could have a Mother from one country, a Father from a second country, and they could be traveling or whatever and have a baby in a third country, and the child would have citizenship in all 3.  \n\nSome countries allow a person to maintain their dual citizenship their whole lives, and others require them to choose an allegiance when they reach the age of majority in that country.  For example, my daughter.  My husband and I are both US citizens, and she was born while we were stationed in Newfoundland.  So, she has dual citizenship - US and Canadian.  Canadian law allows you to have dual citizenship, but the US requires her to pick when she's 18.  As long as she picks the US, she basically gets to retain her dual citizenship.\n\nSo, if a child was born truly in international waters on an international plane, then there would be no "home country" - just the country(ies) of the parents'.  Unless the country that the airline in question was based out of, or the country that the flight was going into decided to grant the child citizenship as well.

Unlike most other countries, dual citizenship is not legal in the US. In fact, naturalized citizens can have their citizenship revoked if it could be proven that they owe allegiance to another country. Unfortunately if one was born in the US it is very difficult to do the same.\n\nDual allegiances is wrong, as well as unethical.

You don`t have to do something special to get dual nationality. If both your birth country and your current country allow it, all you need to do is apply for citizenship in your second country. You do not lose your birth country`s citizenship. Once you get your second passport, you are considered to have dual nationality.

Not that I know of.  But there are countries that allow "naturalized" citizens to do so.  Canada, for one.

Countries don't "participate" in dual citizenships. Countries allows its citizens to hold two different passports. Say you are from country X, and you go to country Y. Country X allows dual citizenship while country Y doesn't. You, who is an country X citizen, will be able to hold both X and Y citizenship b/c your country of origin allows for dual citizenships, even if the new country doesn't allow duals, or recognise country X.\n\nGovernment of India decided to grant Overseas Citizenship of India (OCI) which most people mistakenly refer as 'dual citizenship'.

Spain does not acknowledge dual citizenship with the U.S. or any other country.\nThey only recognize it with countries they have a treaty with and those countries are: Bolivia, Chile, Ecuador, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Paraguay, Peru, the Dominican Republic, Argentina, and Honduras.\nAnd only a child, at least one of whose parents is a citizen of Spain, regardless of the child’s country\nof birth; or child born of non-Spanish citizen parents, provided at least one of the parents was born in\nSpain.\nSo unless you happen to be from one of the above mentioned countries, sadly, the closest you can get is a tourist visa. Or, an even longer shot, a working visa.\n\nThe link below is to the Citizenship Laws of the World on the U.S. Office of Personnel Management webpage

There are some very serious tax consequences to changing your citizenship (or becoming a dual citizen).  It depends on the country you are talking about, exactly what the consequences are.  But its not something I would rush into without looking at all of the impacts.  I travel quite a lot for my job, working for a large company that is internationally owned, and I have never felt any desire to change because of work.  But if you fall in love with the place, and want to be a dual or permanent citizen, then it might be worth the hassle.

I would highly recommend that you go visit india for an extended time and make sure that is what you want to do before you set things in motion on a more permanent basis.\n\nI just want to clarify that an American does NOT automatically lose their american citizen if they become a citizen of another country.  The only way this happens is if you go to embassy and sign away your rights by consciously choosing to renounce your american citizenship.\n\nDual citizenship is allowed, but not encouraged.\nThe exception to this is when a person from ANOTHER country becomes a citizen of the U.S.  As part of the oath, there is a phrase renouncing previous citizenship.  However, this is no longer enforced, for a variety of reasons, even though it is still on the books.\n\nI lost all my links, but I will post the link to this information as soon as I locate it.\n\nP.S. ... while it is legal to have dual citizenship, it can create some problems and hassles, too, post 9/11 ... just be prepared.
