I have three (US and two EU countries) and as far as I am aware the biggest hurdle is paying for multiple passport renewals.

- jpatokal 9y agoCitizenship doesn't go away just because you don't renew your passport.
- fit2rule 9y ago.. but it does go away if you don't maintain a presence of some variety in the given countries.
- robjan 9y agoNo it doesn't. You may lose right of abode but you are unlikely to lose your citizenship.
- fit2rule 9y agoSimply not true, at least in my case. I haven't been back to my country-of-birth in over 30 years, and have citizenship in the country of my childrens' birth. When the time came to renew my passport, I was informed that my citizenship in my birth country was dependent on whether I had any connection there any more, and since my birth-country has policies regarding dual-citizens needing to justify their citizenship, this was under question. I needed to either go back and live there for a while, or simply give up my citizenship. Maybe its different in your birth-country and with your citizenship, but its not true that its automatically given and never revoked in every country in the world. Its a case-by-case basis, depending on the policies of the nations involved.

- xnyhps 9y agoThat depends on the country. You lose Dutch citizenship if you have dual citizenship and don't live in The Netherlands or renew your passport in 10 years.
