    Hello,

    I am an American citizen.

    I am wondering if I marry a UK or EU citizen..does this mean I
    a lose (give up?) my US citizenship.

    How do you get dual citizenship?

    Is it possible in certain EU countries to keep my US along
    with my EU obtained via marriage?

    Thanks for your help!
    warmest,
    Christene

    You will keep your u.s. nationality. you may,in time attain another nationality
    and become a dual national.
    good luck

    Marrying another national does not make you lose your US citizenship. There are certain countries that the US will not allow you to have dual citizenship with, and vice versa, some countries may not allow you to have dual citizenship with the US, mostly they are politically motivated. But if you marry a UK National, from what I've read, you can hold dual citizenships from the US and UK.

    Thanks re: US marrying UK or EU citizen

    Hey guys,

    Thanks so much!

    That's what I thought... that it's based by country.

    Do you by any chance know of a list? As in, which countries
    do not allow dual and which do?

    Knowing you don't lose your US if you marry a UK citizen is
    music to my ears too. I was afraid I would.

    As for the EU, again...I am guessing...hoping...there must be some
    sort of list... ?

    I do know there are age limits in Denmark (as in, how old you have
    to be to marry a US citizen) but that's about all I know. They aren't EU
    anyway but just some info.

    Lots of weird rules, political and not I guess.
    Just trying to figure them out.

    Thanks again!
    warmest,
    Chris

    Re: Thanks re: US marrying UK or EU citizen

    If you're a U.S. citizen, you won't lose your U.S. citizenship by marrying a citizen of any other country. You also won't lose your U.S. citizenship if you later become the citizen of another country...as long as you don't specifically intend to renounce your U.S. citizenship. Some countries do not permit their citizens to become citizens of other countries and retain their original citizenship, but many countries these days (U.S., Canada, U.K., Italy) don't object to multiple citizenships. Here's a list of all the countries and their stands on dual citizenship: http://www.multiplecitizenship.com/worldsummary.html
