Ministry considering dual citizenship for Mongolians born in UK, Canada and USA
PoliticsUlaanbaatar /MONTSAME/ Since 1998, about 5,000 Mongolian young nationals were born in foreign countries, of whom more than 2,800 have been born and naturalized in the UK, USA and Canada.
In accordance with the law in effect, Mongolia does not allow dual citizenship. Therefore, they are not elligible to assume Mongolian citizenship, despite having both parents of Mongolian nationals.
The Ministries of Foreign Affairs and of Justice and Domestic Affairs have set up a joint working group to work out a proposal on potential ways to handle this problem.
