Dual citizenship for Norway- May 1st protest

Thanks for this. I have wished for a long time that they would introduce dual citizenship. I seen some discussions in the media on the issue recently. I hope something will happen about this soon. Perhaps with the change in government. Certainly not while Sp is in power.

Good luck,

David

It's about Norway not allowing you to hold another citizenship in addition to Norwegian citizenship.

Then you shouldn't go to the protest.

I support dual citizenship, and would come, but I'll be away on holiday.

To be honest, I don't think the next government is going to do anything about this.  Last time this issue was brought up, Høgre and Frp voted against, and unless they need Venstre in order to govern (and they won't - they've got KrF), I don't see this being on the agenda at all.  Which is a shame.

One of the papers, or NRK had an article about it. I think with so many foreigners living in Norway, and so many Norwegians living abroad, there will be an increase in demand for dual citizenship. I suspect you are right though sctld. This won't be a pressing issue, and I suspect most Norwegians will be against it. I'm not sure I would actually want Norwegian citizenship, but I would like the option. Being able to vote would be nice. I don't see why voting can't be based on residency. If we pay tax, I think we should be allowed to vote.
