This is a good video. It seldom hurts to have a second citizenship, specially if it is free and you have a birth right to it. For example, few people know that actress Lupita Nyongo was born in Mexico while her Kenyan parents were doing an internship at a Mexican university and therefore Lupita is a Mexican citizen... though by now I think she has at least three citizenships, but she keeps her Mexican passport, and Mexicans consider her Mexican.
I got two citizenships out of this. Was born in one country, and one parent was citizen of another. One of the citizenships doesn't really get me anything, but the other one does.
My brother & wife & baby daughter went to Nepal for 15 yrs as Cdn citizens. Early in that time their son was born in Nepal. At the age of majority, the son had to choose which citizenship he would keep. He was not permitted by Nepal, I believe, to keep both. He kept his Canadian citizenship where he returned to live @ about age 15.
My son was born in Colombia and he wasn't granted citizenship because I am a US Citizen. Had I known this before we would've had the baby in a different country..
I have NZ and Australian citizenship - they are both Tier 1 passports but not much different. The NZ passport is a bit more powerful but both are high tax countries and NZ is now talking about a wealth tax
UK is not a terrible choice if you want two top tier passports. This way, if you leave your home country and renounce cit., then you already have UK in your back pocket-a great passport. You don’t have to live there. And, assuming you have a third) you can renounce the UK citizenship if it becomes too risky.
Not sure how easy it is going to be for me as my parents came from former Yugoslavia (Dad is from Croatia and mum is from Bosnia). Both gave up their citizenship when they move to Oz re 1956. Now with the breakup, not sure how that will go as both have passed away...or I'm guessing my dad is gone as he moved to the Philippines some 25-30 yrs ago and haven't spoken with him since. I have no idea of my grandparents' names on my mum's side though I do on my dad's side. Once I move to Serbia, I may look into it.
My parents were from England. My grandparents were from England. My great grandparents were from England. I was born in England. This is not going well.
My American grandfather who was born and raised in the US had cousins in England that he would visit sometimes I visted then once but I was a baby. Would I be able to claim British citizenship if I ever chose to?
That you visited your cousins in England when you were a baby has no bearing on whether you can become a UK citizen. If they’re your full blood cousins and first cousins, however, then you share a common set of grandparents. If the grandparents are/were UK citizens, then you are very likely eligible for UK citizenship (assuming you’re not a felon etc etc). Visit gro.gov.uk, make a sign-in, and search the GRO index for your grandparents using as much information as you know. If they’re alive, this probably won’t work and you should just ask them if they have UK birth certificates (and maybe have them order extra copies for you). That would be even better because, hey, that means they’re alive and you can get to know them more.
@@rivenoak that wasn't my question though. I'm aware of the citizenship requirements to run for president but in the case of Ted Cruz, he had to denounce Canada citizenship to run since you're only allowed to be a citizen of the US, however, what happens if you have legal residence in other countries but not a citizen.
@@antoniobrasse7157 Barrack Obama was born in Hawaii, thus natural born citizen and eligible. but his father was from Kenya, which should mean he is a dual citizen too ?
That’s because UAE has no jus soli (or right of the soil [that you were born on]). He would instead have to get citizenship by nature of his father being a citizen.
Please note: canada currently isn't what it used to be. Trudeau and liberals have taken this country so far left that people are literally moving south to red states. Canada is great if you love high taxes and a lower standard of living

And Canadian deserve every bit of it. I encountered some unbearable Canadian leftists in my life.
@ yes and unfortunately for western canada, toronto and Quebec decide who runs the country and they keep re-electing this corrupt woke government. They are to blame
I encountered some unbearable Canadian leftists in my life. It is also their screwup to keep the French in the union. Enjoy the consequence.

@papa winluk I did not move to Canada. I live in the US. I encountered the Canadian leftists online. I don't think the French Canadian want the same thing as the English Canadian do. French are a lot bigger in government and they are a lot more prone to welfare state in exchange for less freedom

@papa winluk And Pierre Poilievre is French and I like him.
I don’t know if this counts but I have one great grandfather that was born in what is now Poland and I have proof of that but all the rest of my relatives came to the United States much further back than that or from countries that don’t allow citizenship through descent.
It depends. I think if you can find everything it’ll work. I’ve had friends who showed me all of their ancestors documents. Pretty sure that’s how you do it.
different parts of Poland belonged to Austria or Prussia or Russia once. i would guess it is tricky for such ages past and Poland may not recognize such old events for today's citizenship.
@@rivenoak thanks for taking the time to answer me. Yes that’s what I was thinking also. they lived in the part of what is now Poland that was called then Prussia. At the present time it is in the part of Poland that’s the western part sort of near Germany into the north which is definitely in present-day Poland but since it was so long ago probably doesn’t work but it’s interesting anyway. I can speak two languages but not polish unless you count good morning and thanks. :)
