Of course.
I know many people with Slovak/Canadian or Slovak/British citizenships.
They have two passports, e.g. a Slovak one and a British one.
They can use either for travel. For example, Slovak citizen needs visa to travel to the USA. British citizen doesn't. So a person with dual Slovak/British citizenship can use their British passport to travel to the USA. It's completely legal.
People with dual citizenship can, while abroad, ask either embassy for assistance (emergency, etc.).
A Slovak/Britton in the USA can turn to Slovak or British embassy.
However, when such a person is in Slovakia, they cannot use British embassy for assistance and vice versa, while in Britain, they cannot ask Slovak authorities for help.
They can vote in both countries.
They have also legal obligations, for example, a Slovak/Britton must serve on jury (when asked, of course) while living in Britain.
Citizenship become slightly "blurred" within European Union territory, for example, there's just one European Passport, although it's issued by the respective countries. Driving licences are also completely equal. If I, Slovak citizen, take a residence in London, UK, I can cast a vote for Mayor of London or vote for British members of European Parliament.
Some countries do not allow dual citizenship. On the other hand, I once heard of a guy who played in England's soccer Premiership league. I think he had four different passports - his parents were from different countries, he was born in yet another one and then his parents moved with hime to yet another one. So he ended up with four citizenships. |
