As you already have the EU covered, US, China or Japan would be good ones. I think Japan does not allow for dual citizenship though.
- dmurray 8y agoAgreed, those are good second passports to have. > I think Japan does not allow for dual citizenship though. Like Japan, China and the US also do not allow a second citizenship through naturalization. The US oath of allegiance requires you to "renounce and abjure all allegiance and fidelity to any foreign prince, potentate, state, or sovereignty". The loophole is that most countries don't allow you to renounce your citizenship just by informing some foreign flunky, so just saying it doesn't make it so. For naturalization, none of China, Japan or the US require documentary evidence that you are no longer a citizen of another state.
- roel_v 8y ago"For naturalization, none of China, Japan or the US require documentary evidence that you are no longer a citizen of another state." That's because international law doesn't allow for states to make citizens stateless. E.g. in The Netherlands, a condition of getting citizenship is that you promise to renounce other citizenships within x time, and your Dutch one will be taken away if you don't. Not saying that any of the countries you listed have similar requirements, I don't know about that, I'm just adding some nationality law pedantry.
