Really useful blog, thanks!
Here’s another question:
I was born in SA, by SA parents, held a SA passport. My family emigrated and, after living in the EU for many years, I acquired an EU passport by naturalization in order to get into my desired course at university. I was required to give up my SA citizenship and present written proof by home affairs, which I did. With a heavy heart, I might add. 3 years later I’m still not very happy about the situation – even though I’ve been living in the EU for a long time, SA is still home, I have a lot of family there and visit very regularly. It breaks my heart to think my future children might not get the citizenship of my home country.
Is there any way to get my SA citizenship back without losing my EU one?
Does anyone know about the permanent residency rights/conditions for people that were born in SA but gave up citizenship?
Hope anyone can help! Thanks!

Hello , is it true in some cases if you got married abroad and now have dual citizenship with a local person from that country that the person will not lose their SA citizenship in this case ? Also in this situation there is no need to ask permission if that person already has the two citizenship’s already ?

Say you have a dual passport (UK/SA or EU/SA) how do you use it (according to law)? e.g do you leave SA on your SA passport and enter Europe on your EU passport, repeating the process when returning, leaving on EU and returning on SA,or do you have to show both in both countries? or how does it work?

@Mont Kiara:
Having dual passports does not necessarily mean you hold dual citizenship – the one passport might be as a result of your having residency status in a particular country, which is not the same thing as citizenship.

Dual citizenship is, essentially, the position held when an individual is claimed as a national by more than one country. It is not an agreement BETWEEN countries at all. In my case, it would mean that South Africa claims me as a citizens, as does the Netherlands.

I’ve just gotten off the phone with someone at the Dutch embassy. I am what is known as “latent Dutch” ie I have a Dutch mother and non-Dutch father. Until quite recently, I was unable to claim Dutch citizenship by descent as the law would not grant citzenship to children of Dutch mothers who were born before 1985. This law has now been changed.

Essentially, once I go through the naturalisation process, I will be granted a Dutch passport without having to renounce my South African citizenship.

The new ruling in South African law makes traveling outside of South Africa on a foreign passport permissible. It is required, however, to leave and enter South Africa using a South African passport.

Essentially, South Africa no longer removes someone’s citizenship if they hold citizenship elsewhere; it was found to be unconstitutional.

Dual passport means that you have dual citizenship right? But I don’t know how it really works.
