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.

There are many ways to end up with two citizenships or more.  For example, a child born in the US of two non-US citizens is automatically a US citizen, but will probably also be able to derive citizenship from one or both parents, as well.  I know a man who has four citizenships:  Russian (by birth), Italian (from his father), Swedish (from his mother) and Canadian (by immigration).\n\nUS law neither allows nor forbids dual citizenship.

As of 1 June 2006, residents of Mumbai, India,Nigeria and surrounding countries are no longer allowed to apply for passports due to a major mix up with the Office of Immigration...The problem is expected to be resolved and back to mormal sometime within the near future...Yes I know it sucks and its not exactly the answer that you were hoping to hear/read, but thats whats going on at the current time with the Office of Immigration.. Sorry...(Frowning)

Here is some info on dual citizenship, it is a complicated topic, but this is from someone who obtained dual citizenship:\nhttp://www.richw.org/dualcit/\n\nYou may want to contact a lawyer familiar with immigration or the consulates for the countries, because dual citizenship may not be possible in some situations or may not be the best option for you.  Here is a list of the canadian embassies and consulates, the US is toward the bottom:\n\nhttp://www.dfait-maeci.gc.ca/world/embassies/menu-en.asp\nI would start with the Canadian side, because they probably have seen this type of situation before and they are known to be a little more friendly.\nI hope that helps, good luck.

To come to our country your first step would be to visit the Australian Embassy or Consulate. You could perhaps come out on a visa make sure you like the place and while here visit the Department of Immigration and lodge and application for Permanent Residency. After two years you could then make application for Australia Citizenship. We'd love to have you.

As a proud aussie I will never become a citizen of America (all though I do respect americans) however part of the process of becoming an american you do need to pass a test about the history of America. Personally I think this is a great idea. In Australia all you need to do is attend an interview at immigration know enough english to know your privliges and responsibilities as an Australian Citizen such as you can serve on a jury vote join the army etc. I personally believe you should know more than that if you are going to be a citizen. Hope this helps

Well it would help to know about your citizenship status and what country you are currently residing in. \nBut looking into the immigration laws and regulations of australia can help.

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.

Australia allows for dual citizenship, but I don't know about South Africa.  Each country has its own rules about citizenship. Some will only allow you to be of one country, some allow if you are born there, or if your parents are born there... etc  Go to your government's website and look up your Emigration and citizenship laws.

Dual citizenship is only given if one of your parents were born in Canada. Doesn't apply for grandparents.

NO.  If you apply for citizenship in another country you foreit your American citizenship.\n\nThe only way you could have dual citizenship is if you were born somewhere outside of US, or automatically granted (like marriage).
