Let’s say I become a citizen of a country that doesn’t allow dual citizenship. During naturalization, new country B tells me I have to renounce citizenship from old country A.
Does that have any effects back in country A? How would country A know? Would country A even care if they found out?
Countries typically don’t allow that. (Do any allow it?) For example, Canada requires you (at least) to be a citizen of another country and to live outside Canada.
The UN would likely consider it a violation of their human rights if a country knowingly allowed a citizen to become stateless. I would hope that at least all member states would not allow it, but I don’t know for certain.
You can renounce us citizenship any time you’d like. They don’t care if you’ll become stateless. But you definitely do not want to be stateless.
Now you have me wondering about legal juristiction of mermaids in international waters…
It’s easier to just s say they don’t exist than it is to deal with all the complications.
The USA allows it. Though I imagine the embassy staff will probably try to warn you.
