General rule: If dual citizenship is allowed and you are eligible for another passport, just get it. If dual citizenship is not allowed, then you have to debate the pros and cons.

No, there are many cons to having another citizenship: 1. If they have global taxation (like the US) you're fucked 2. If you can't relinquish it (Argentine, Iran, Korea), you're stuck with whatever rules the ruling party decides to implement next year 3. You can be drafted for war (Ukraine, Israel, Armenia) 4. If you enter the country, you will be treated as a local citizen. So if Colombia puts you in prison, then your "real" country (eg. Spain) cannot help you anymore as you are a local citizen in Colombia

For example, citizens of the Bahamas can stay up to 6 months in the USA. It might be easier for some people to leave, if they knew how easy it was to come back and visit.

You don't want UK citizenship just to be in the Home Counties, or even the Channel Islands. You want it for easy access to the overseas territories; if you're sufficiently rich, the Cayman Islands are your huckleberry; if not Monserrat should be what you look for along with the UK Virgin Islands. French citizenship has a similar thing going on, and a lot more places to go. Don't just look at the home country; look at ALL the places that passport grants you painless access to, many of which have more autonomy than you'll see back home. Go _there_ and set up your Plan B base, especially if you're a digital-primary worker or businessman. You don't need to live in the big countries or the big cities anymore, so GTFO and live well and make your money go further.

Because of Brexit my rights as a EU National has changed drastically and I am fears on whether my rights are no longer equals and the time line of been out of the country and that’s affect my residency in this country. Also I felt I’ve been tight up by bureaucracy and now there is so much documents to proof that I am speaking english or I am eligible to a Job, not by my skills, by my language skills-wise and documentation of living right in the country. Therefore I was wondering if I could be eligible to become a British citizen regardless my other 3 nationalities holden before? Does the UK allows citizens from other country have more than 2 nationalities and have a 3rd or 4th nationality in my case by naturalisation?

@nataliesh.1924 Жыл бұрын
You can watch Tom Bradford videos or book with him to get this question answered. From what I know, if you leave the UK for more than 5 years, then your settled status is gone, as if you never was in the UK. If you come back within 5 years, you continue to build on the years you had previously, so lets say you lived in the UK for 4 years, got settled status, moved away for 2 years and moved back, then your initial 4 years count towards your citizenship.

Contact a lawyer in the UK. Using the 4L section of the new law that started on 07/28/2023, there is a very good chance you can get your UK citizenship. It is very confusing if you look at the UK law yourself, but multiple UK lawyers have assured me that I could qualify and I'm in a similar boat as you. My only problem is that I have to wait until I retire in a few years due to my security clearance. If that wasn't the case, I'd be pursuing it now.

Anyone born in the UK before 1st January 1983 was automatically a British citizen by birth, regardless of the nationality of the parents. Children born abroad were only British if the father was a British citizen otherwise by descent, and the parents were married. From 1983 - Jun 2006, a child was British at birth if they were 1. Born in the UK to a British mother or a foreign mother with Settled Status 2. Born in the UK [in wedlock] wedlock ti a British father or a foreign father with Settled Status 3.

UK will probably go the USA route and tax it's citizens worldwide. That's why I didn't go for it. As a European citizen I am also not convinced the EU won't do the same. So my plan its to get Caribbean citizenship.

I doubt the UK will go the worldwide tax on citizens route. There are so many British expats, for one thing, and there are tax treaties with the major expat destinations. For another, the (happy) reality for the post-Brexit UK is that it will need to be as nimble and open to the wider world beyond the EU as it possibly can.

@@GleeSmee I tend to agree with you if Brexit had been what was cracked up to be.

Being British myself, I'd advise against British citizenship. This country is going down the drain, with lots of taxes, regulations/controls on the individual, and out of control spending & nanny statism. This is a country which doesn't respect your rights; it determines that all of your rights are "qualified" (ie. null & void). The weather is also shit, the people worship socialism (eg. the NHS) and all this "green" bullshit. Cost of living is skyrocketing because both the Conservatives & Labour are pushing suicidal "net zero" policies. Personally, I can't wait to emigrate out of here.
