Better citizenship- US or Chile?

I may have to decide someday, if my bf and I decide to marry. Chile does not allow dual citizenships. So, does anyone have any insights on this? (and please, if you literally do not know anything about Chile, please refrain from answering).

Answer:
A US passport will allow you to travel to more countries visa-free, or if you do require an advance visa, your visa will likely be longer.

There are, of course, exceptions. You will be considered a tourist in your home country. You will get preference in South American countries if you're Chilean (for example, Brazil requires US citizens to be fingerprinted at entry, not Chileans). And if you want to travel to Cuba - you can on a Chilean passport; you cannot on a US passport.

If I may, it sounds like you haven't quite made up your mind whether you and your boyfriend are going to get married, so it is way too premature to say whether by that time you will have to still give up your Chilean passport. Rules change.
In Chile you make less money but have a more peaceful lifestyle.
cualquier ciudadanía es mejor que la gringa
any citizenship is better than U.S.
thats an easy one.
Don't do it, too costly in the long run. What if you break-up? better yet you have kids then divorce, you go back to the states without your children I see a lot of problems ahead. Good Luck!
USA citizen are free to travel to any country with out a visa. Not with a Chilean pass port, but it up to you to decide want you really want in your heart. I, myself will never give up my US citizenship, do you know how many citizens of other countries will do anything to be an American citizens, just read the newspapers, or watch the TV news. Good luck and I wish you the best .!!
Both the United States of America and Chile officially discouraged dual citizenships.

However many countries (like the United States of America) usually don't care if you have a secret or a 'secret' citizenship as long you kept paying them money, don't make a big deal of it, and no one complained to them about your dual citizenships.

The United States of America don't care if its citizen declare him/herself as a foreign citizen in another country, he/she still a citizen of the United States of America until he/she formally declare to an United States of America official that he/she is no longer a citizen of the United States of America.



I suggest the two of you keep what ever citizenships you got.

If you're planning to stay in a foreign country for a long, you probably need to apply for a temporary resident status or a citizenship.

It should be noted that officially getting an United States of America citizenship for the average person took a long time, a young person might apply now, but he/she might have finally got it when his/her grandchild was born.

Though no one in his/her right mind want to give up a Chilean citizenship for an United States of America citizenship, troublemakers on the other hand...
i'll tell you right away, i don't know anything about chile. but you will always be a US citizen, even if another country doesn't recognize dual citizenships.
