True. Everything has up & downside. The downside of Indian Citizenship is you can't have two citizenships. (Although OCI card gives you almost every right except voting, gov jobs etc).
- int_19h 4y agoMost countries that don't recognize dual citizenship also don't prohibit it; they just treat you as their citizen regardless of what other citizenship you might have. Is that not the case with India?
- davchana 4y agoNope, India specifically prohibits it, and expect its citizens to renounce Indian one in 6 months or less from acquiring other one. No repercussions as long as you don't go to India or deal with Indian Embassy (which almost every ex Indian has to, family, relatives, stuff in India). So for them, the process is, get US naturalization certificate. The 6 month clock starts. Get US passport (its mandatory to cancel the Indian passport). Then apply for Indian Renounce process (4 months). Now, if you want to go to India, apply for 30 day e-visa (a week at most).
