Though dual citizenship seems to have always been permitted by the U.S., the oath of citizenship included a passage "denouncing" one's previous country of origin, so the question has been ongoing for decades. However, that passage was removed recently.

The countries that do not currently allow dual citizenship are Austria, Indonesia, Pakistan, Belgium, Iran, Papua New Guinea, Brunei, Japan, Peru, Burma, Kenya, Philippines, Chile, Kiribati, Poland, China, Korea, Denmark, Latvia, Singapore, Ecuador, Lithuania, Solomon Islands, Fiji, Malaysia, Mauritius, Thailand. I was not aware of this being prohibited in Austria or Belgium until doing the research.


Only an open mind and open heart can be filled with life.
