You are in luck, I just got mine.\n\nIt only requires one grandparent born in Ireland, but you need proof. You need their birth certificate from Ireland, marriage certificate, death certificate if deceased or an official ID if alive. Then you will need your mother's birth certificate, marriage certificate, and death certificate if deceased or an official ID if alive. You will also have to prove your residence.\n\nIf there are any discrepancies on any of the papers, and this is common, you must document it in a written statement. Example: my grandma had a different year of birth between the birth and death certificate because the death information was provided by grandpa who got it wrong.\n\nGo to the web site of the Irish Embassy in Washington DC for further details and contact me if you need any more info or a contact in Ireland to get your grandmother's Irish birth certificate.\n\nEmbassy of Ireland, Wash.

"if your country allows dual citizenship, then even if you must "choose" in Japan, your country may allow you to retain that citizenship.  The United States is one example of this.  But I have heard from a US Embassy staffer personally, that as long as you don't become a government employee, you can still get away with dual US/Japan citizenship if you are born with it."\n\n"Persons holding both foreign citizenship and Japanese citizenship (dual nationals) must, before reaching age 22 (or, if having acquired dual nationality after age 20, within two years of acquisition) choose a single nationality. \n\nIf you do not choose a nationality, you may lose your Japanese nationality.  Because of this, it is important to consider this issue carefully. \n\nFor additional details, please consult the nearest city, ward or town office, the Legal Affairs Office (Homukyoku) or Japanese Embassy or Consulate abroad."

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.

The US does not allow dual citizenship of its own citizens.  By that, if you were to become a British citizen, you'd forfeit your US citizenship.  However, depending on England's laws, if your boyfriend becomes a US citizen, he may have dual citizenship status if this doesn't forfeit his British citizenship.\n\nAs for marriage, if it is recognized as legal in another country, then it is recognized as legal in the US.  The only exception would be the case of a same-sex marriage, as the US doesn't currently recognize such marriages.\n\nIf you are interested in marrying your boyfriend and bringing him into the US, it would be better if he applied to come here under a fiance visa.  He would then have 90 days to marry you before that visa expired.  I don't know how long it would take for him to come into the US if you were to marry him in England, it could take longer than a fiance visa route.

Dual citizenship is where your parents were born in another country.  You were born in the USA.  You would be a citizen of the other country because your parents are citizens, and a citizen of the USA because that is where you were actually born.

The USA doesn't recognize dual citizenship.  But, Canada does.  I'm a Canadian citizen living and working in the USA with my greencard - I will become a US citizen next year.  After that, Canada will recognize me as a dual citizen, the USA will only recognize me as an American.  \n\nI hope everything works out the way you want it to.\n\nBTW, you don't have to be born in Canada to become a Canadian citizen.  My son was born in the USA and is eligible to become a Canadian because his mama is.  I'm not sure how it works with grandparents though.

The United States does not recognize "dual" citizenship.  One can be a Mexican (or Frenchman or Brit or Indonesian) in ethnicity and culture and be proud of it - but if you are an American citizen, your allegiance is (and had better be) to the United States.\n\nI have friends who claim dual citizenship, and I say nothing, but it irks me no end.

I am an African-America whose grandfather was from Ireland. My mother is Black Irish and I was told as a child that I could gain a passport and/or citizenship from Ireland by checking with the Office of Emigration in Ireland. I believe you can find that info on Yahoo Ireland.

Technically you cannot have dual citizenship, to become a citizen of the US or UK you must give up any rights to your former country as part of your citizenship, however I am led to believe there are ways and means, of which I have not found yet.

I can't give exact sources but as far as I know, India just recently started allowing dual citizenship.\n\nMy US born Indian girlfriend recently managed to get her Indian citizenship. When she was younger she studied in India as a US citizen and she had to renew some sort of visa every year.\n\nJust contact the closest Indian consulate, they'll tell you what you need to do but I'm 99% certain that you'll be able to obtain Indian citizenship for your kid. As far as the US is concerned there is no problem, you can have the dual citizenship.\n\nThe only time you are required to give up your US citizenship is upon naturalization but if you are born with it or get it after the naturalization (the US goverment doesn't even check then), there's no law to say that you can't have both. Millions of people in the US have dual, triple or more citizenships.

Contact the Philippine Embassy in Sydney for more information.  But check with Australian authorities to see if you have the right to have dual citizenship.  Some countries make you choose one or the other.
