If a child is born in country A of parents from country B, how can the child have dual citizenship?
This all leaves me scratching my head, as does the whole mess of recent days.
Answer:
hmmm because the child is affected by jus sanguinis and jus solis. jus sanguinis is a right by which a citizenship is recognized by the blood or by what nationality does his parents have. Jus solis is based on land where he is born. if a country uses jus sanguinis and the child is born outside the country, he still a citizen of that country. if the country is using jus losis, all babies that are born on that country is a considered citizen of that country. there are countries which use both jus sanguinis and jus solis. An example of this is the United States of America.
My friend had a baby in Mexico where she had a boat chartering business. Both the parents are from The USA. Her son has dual citizenship, that is just the way it is!
You have to check your immigration and citizeship laws, ie whether or not citizenship can be acquired either by jus soli or jus sanguinis.
From where I am at right now, we follow citizenship by jus sanguinis (even if the child was born, it will follow the citizenship of the parents). We came from another country and by virtue of this law, our daughter's nationality is the same as ours (the parents).

its based on "jus soli", if you are born in a particular country, you'are automatically entitled to its citizenship no matter the nationality or place of birth of your parents!!
