Kinda makes sense to me. I don’t understand the issue this brings up. If you’re a dual national and want to enter the UK (or the US as in the above example) carry your UK (or US) passport. Otherwise if you don’t want to then pay a large unnecessary sum of money for a shitty stamp.
I don’t get the outrage here. It’s not hard to carry a passport 🤷🏼♀️. What am I missing?
It used to be the case that the US formally didn’t allow dual nationality, but other nations didn’t mind if you had US nationality as well as theirs. So many people were just not telling the US about their second nationality that the US got rid of that rule maybe 15 or so years ago.
The USA recognises dual citizenship. This means that you do not have to give up (renounce) your British citizenship to become a US citizen.
I don’t mean to be a dick but can you provide some source of evidence to what you’re saying because both the US and UK government websites disagree with your claim.
If I’m reading it right, she told Spain that she had so she could get her Spanish citizenship, but she hadn’t actually, so now she could be found out.
So she broke the law? And is upset about it?
When I lived in the US. The UK embassy was openly recommending this to folks taking US citizen ship.
But does the US require you to renounce your old citizenship like Spain?
Yes.
That’s not what this page says: https://www.usa.gov/dual-citizenship
Interesting that the US already has this requirement

Sorry. But that is for US citizens becoming dual.
Not foreign citizens becoming US.
If you are a non US citizen applying for US citizenship. Then you have to request the home nation end you citizenship.
That’s not what this website says either.

Well that has changed. Because back in the early 200p the requirement existed.
