Was it? It was a big(in certain circles) discussion point around Brexit, because Germany does allow dual citizenship but only for citizens of other EU countries. Since UK was about to stop being an EU country, there was a question whether dual British-German citizens would have to renounce one of their citizenships. I'm glad they changed it then.
- em-bee 2y agostrange. to my understanding renouncing your old citizenship was only ever required when you apply for a new citizenship. once you have acquired the new one while keeping the old one you would not even come into a situation where you would be forced to renounce the old one because no one from those two countries would ever ask you. other countries might in their visa applications, but they won't challenge your dual citizenship either. the only exception is if you got both as a child, then when you turn 18 you may still have to choose.
