last i heard, the US wasn't allowing dual citizenships except under special circumstances. maybe that's changed? - The Silence

The US allows dual citizenship, the problem lies in taking the oath, which states that you only pledge allegiance to the United States, thereby renouncing your citizenship of your country of origin. There are countries in Europe that give its citizen the one-time allowance to do so. - Rene, Pro Button Pusher

I've always found the pledge in any country to be a rediculous throwback from centuries past. Why bother "pledging allegiance" when you could just as easily renounce it. - alphaxion

Then how do so many Americans spend years working and living abroad? There's an easy, legal, non-citizeny way to do this, one assumes. - Anthony Citrano

work visas, permanent resident status and so on. - The Silence

It's different from country to country, but most has similar to U.S. H1-B visas and even analog of green cards (only with less long waiting lines/processing time). The main point is — most allow you to live for a long time there if you have an external source to support yourself (i.e. not taking work from locals, but spending money instead and could prove that — renting out your house in Silicon Valley and spending that in Europe or just a huge checking account will make you welcomed there.) - earlyadopter
