Can you get citizenship in every country?

Best Answers

Many countries do not allow you to have dual/multiple citizenships (e.g. China), others make the process to acquire citizenship difficult and require you to live in the country for ten or more years(Japan, Switzerland etc.). read more

You have to be a citizen of a country to carry that country's passport, and most countries have rigorous requirements for citizenship that a person from another country would struggle to meet. So it is not possible to have a passport for every country. read more

In short, yes and no. Without any (or with little) citizenship requirements, it would be possible to become a true citizen of the world. Realistically speaking however, it is impossible. As each nation is able to set its own laws on citizenship, it can take years to gain naturalized citizenship to another country. read more
