Israel is the only country i know that does that, if ur a Jew from other country and want to live in Israel. The Russians have played it for years, pretending to be Jews, to leave the Communist Soviet Union and get help and benefits from Israel, then they fly to America, as soon as they get the Israeli Passport.

If you are a person from a country outside Japan, you have to reside in Japan for five years consecutively to make yourself entitled for the citizenship of Japan. The five years duration can be reduced if you are married to a citizen of Japan. There are some other requirements also that you will know when you contact them.\n\nOne of the main concerns for foreigners is that Japan does not allow multiple citizenships, and if you want to become a Japanese citizen you have to renounce your past nationality. Sometimes this clause hurts people deeply and has made them think twice before going for the citizenship of Japan. \n\nIf you want to know more about the procedure to get the citizenship of Japan, you can visit the website of Government of Japan, which provides the information in detail about the procedure.

While I like the idea of compulsory service in order to earn full citizenship, it should not be limited to military service.  Service to ones country can include, peace corp, volunteer work in under privilege communities, or dozens of other things.  Not everyone should be a soldier, but working in some capacity to make your country a better place to be should be required.

Did you think about this before you asked the question?\n\nIf you were born in the country, you have the citizenship of that country UNLESS you gave it up.  If you surrendered your citizenship, you can't become a citizen again.

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.

You child is entitled to the citizenship of one or both parents, depending on the rules of that or those countries.  In addition, there are a few countries that give citizenship to almost anyone born there:  Canada, France, Ireland, Panama and the US are examples, but there are a few others as well.\n\nCheck this web site:\nhttp://www.multiplecitizenship.com/

Some countries grant citizenship by birth. For example, if you are born in the USA, you are an American citizen, no matter if your parents are not.\n\nSome countries grant citizenship by blood. For example, if one of your parents is Spanish, you are considered Spanish. There is a well-known case of an American who went to Spain to visit relatives and was conscripted in the army because he was Spanish by parental blood.\n\nStateless citizens are something different. For instance, in Kuwait, they did a census around 1926 and another around 1951. If your family is not on the census, you were not Kuwaiti. However, they did not take a census of the Bedoun, who are nomadic Kuwaitis (Arabs - as Kuwaitis might argue they are "not" Kuwaiti) who live in the desert around Kuwait City proper. These Bedoun, though their ancestors have lived there for many years (or hundreds) are stateless. They do not have Kuwaiti citizenship and are not entitled to the benefits that Kuwaiti citizens get.\n\nI hope this helps put it in perspective.

If you are from China you can't have dual citizenship.  If you are from Japan, you can.  If you are French but born in Canada and raised in United State, you can obtain triple citizenships, I mean you can own 3 passports--France, Canada and U.S.A.

Do you mean they want to be a citizen instead? Then they would have to take a written test. If you mean they want to move back out of the country, I'm not absolutely sure but they might just be able to move and let it expire. You'll have to double check though...

Naturalization policies aren't automatic in any country.  You don't have anything until you apply for it.  But, in general, you can't get citizenship in a country without living there for some time as a resident alien and then passing a test.

I understand that children born on board ships have no birth country.  I think they can obtain citizenship from the country or countries of their parents' birth. They would then receive the freedoms afforded in those countries.\nIf a person gives up his/her citizenship, they are protected by whatever immigration or refugee laws apply in the country that receives them, until their case is heard.  They are given certain limited freedoms, but not all.

It is not possible to voluntarily acquire dual citizenship. The United States requires that you give up your citizenship when you voluntarily apply for another citizeship. If you acquire the dual citizenship automatically (because of birth or marriage), you may be required to choose between the two, though the US does not require it.

Current Australian law does not favor dual or plural citizenship but does recognize it.  India, however, does not recognize dual citizenship.  An Indian citizen who voluntarily acquires another citizenship loses his or her Indian citizenship.

No. As long as you are loyal to the country, willing to bear arms for it, possess a good moral character, and know the basic history, and civic of the country, you can apply for the naturalization.
