Agreed PolicyDual Citizenship
Dual citizenship between European countries is generally accepted; non-European citizens naturalizing into a European nation would be expected to renounce their former citizenship.
Position
Restore Europe generally accepts dual citizenship between European countries, but expects non-European citizens who naturalize into a European nation to renounce their previous non-European citizenship.
Policy
- European-to-European dual citizenship generally permitted.
- Non-European naturalizing citizens normally required to renounce their former citizenship.
- Exceptions may be considered where renunciation is legally impossible or would create exceptional hardship.
Principle
Distinct European nations are political communities within a broader European civilization.
Implementation note
Implementation note
