Brazil is a country formed and built by several different nationalities, who migrated from their countries with the dream of obtaining better living conditions in Brazil. Dual citizenship: in this article, learn about the countries that prohibit dual citizenship
Italians, Germans, Ukrainians, Poles, Arabs, Africans and Japanese were some of the ethnicities that arrived in Brazil since 1800 and helped in the colonization of the country.
Today, thousands of these citizens dream of dual nationality. Whatever the reason, it is not very uncommon to find them.
And the question that arises is: can I have Brazilian citizenship and that of another country? Yes, the Brazilian Federal Constitution provides for the possibility of Brazilians having dual or multiple citizenships.

Marriage, birth and citizenship recognition processes are the factors that most interfere with the acquisition of another nationality. However, there are countries that are not very flexible on this matter. “Accumulating” nationalities is prohibited by law in certain places and, in others, dual citizenship is only permitted in specific situations.

Some observations
It is important to note that not all countries not on this list automatically grant dual citizenship in all cases. In the specific case of Germany and Norway, for example, citizenship is granted at birth but is denied through naturalization.
Portugal, which has made changes to its Nationality Law in recent years and included the possibility of acquiring Portuguese citizenship through grandparents, is another example.
In the Bahamas, dual citizenship is also very specific. It is accepted until the age of 21. After this age, you need to choose which citizenship to opt for. Therefore, it is always important to check under what terms multiple nationality is prohibited and in which situations it is permitted. Of course there are cases like Belgium, for example, where it is accepted without any objection.
