Tips & Warnings
Britain does not restrict its nationals from holding dual citizenship. Check with the country in which you are currently a national prior to applying for British naturalization to ensure that dual citizenship is permitted by law.
Holders of dual citizenship should be aware that British diplomatic protection does not extend into any other countries where you may also be a citizen.
