Can you keep your Fiji citizenship when you become a U.S. citizen?
Allowed
Yes, in general
Fijian citizens who become U.S. citizens keep their Fijian citizenship because Fiji permits dual nationality.
What the law says
- Holding multiple citizenships has been permitted in Fijian law since 2009.
- The 2013 constitution allowed for dual nationality.
- Fijian citizenship can be relinquished by declaration of renunciation, provided the declarant already possesses another nationality.
- Former Fijian citizens who lost citizenship by acquiring a foreign nationality may apply to be re-registered, subject to discretionary approval.
“Holding multiple citizenships has been permitted in Fijian law since 2009.”
What about the U.S. side?
The United States allows dual citizenship. At the oath ceremony you promise to renounce allegiance to other countries, but U.S. law does not make you formally give up your other passport. The question is only whether Fiji lets you keep yours.
