  • I have UK and US dual citizenship (I was born in the UK and married an American, naturalized about a year ago).

    Advantages:

    • Easier entry into both countries, and countries with appropriate treaties with one or the other. This is somewhat important to me under the current US administration.
    • Will allow my wife to get UK citizenship more easily should she want to.
    • I can vote in elections in both countries. Also important with the current US administration.

    Disadvantages:

    • US citizens have to file/pay taxes no matter where in the world they live. I believe the US is the only country that does that - although this does apply to all American citizens, regardless of dual citizenship; I only mention it because dual citizens can more easily move out of the US.
    • I need to keep track of two passports, especially when traveling, although I only need to show one at a time.
