Citizenship is a fundamental part of our lives. Every person has one, some even two or more. It determines which country we belong to, what rights we have, where we are at home. But often the reality of life is more complex: many people move permanently away from the country whose citizenship they hold, whether for humanitarian, economic or family reasons. For them, holding two citizenships can be useful.
