What’s the process for renouncing citizenship of one country while acquiring another?

so first, you have to officially renounce your citizenship in one country. That usually means filling out some paperwork, maybe going in for an interview. Then, you’ll need to apply for the new one—tests, residency, sometimes years of waiting

It’s basically two processes—one where you drop your old citizenship and another where you get the new one. Depending on the country, it can mean interviews, legal stuff, maybe even showing you’ve lived there long enough to qualify.

It’s not automatic, but it’s doable! You have to let your original country know you’re giving up your citizenship—forms, interviews, maybe a fee. Then, for the new one, it’s about meeting their criteria, like living there, language tests, and taking the citizenship oath

Ugh, it’s so much work, honestly. First, you gotta let your country know you’re dropping your citizenship—forms, fees, all that stuff. Then the new country has their own set of hoops to jump through, like tests or residency. It’s a lot

I’ve looked into this when considering it myself. First, you formally renounce your citizenship through your home country’s embassy or consulate—there might be interviews and fees. For the new country, it’s about fulfilling their requirements, which could include residency and citizenship tests
