    Study Notes

    Nationality

    • Nationality is acquired through naturalization, a process for adults.
    • A state can regulate its nationals' actions abroad, regardless of residency status or whether they are visiting. Tax laws from the person's home state may still apply if they have investments or conduct business abroad.
    • Countries can have laws prosecuting their citizens for crimes committed abroad. Extradition can be a way of handling this, but a treaty might be necessary.
    • Dual nationality means a person belongs to two (or more) countries. A child may be born with dual nationality.
    • Laws usually require an individual (age 18 or 21) to choose one nationality.
    • There is a trend to protect dual nationals in a country where they have a tenuous connection, especially if their connection is only tied to a parent born there.
