I believe Spain allows dual nationality for children but not for adults (except those Latin America countries). In any case, even if Spain doesn't allow dual nationality, the UK might still see you as British unless you actively renounced your citizenship. So I can renounce my UK citizenship yet ...

Just a quick thought. My wife was already in the UK in July under the fiancee visa. Do you think that would make her exempt from the new rule, if it were to apply to me?

Here a link to the amendment. It's in the definition of "EEA national" in 1(d).
Thanks very much!

Then the Wikipedia entry must be wrong as it claims that Spaniards by origin may have dual nationality. This is rather worrying. The UKBA guy was pretty sure of the fact. I may need to have another meeting with him. Thanks for the heads up. Can someone give me a link to the new law that was ...

If you are Spanish and only Spanish (and this is how you would answer the "are you also British" question on the application form), then I suggest your read - EEA FAQs - Common Questions ...

Spain may not allow dual-nationality but there are usually exceptions for children. Spain only allows dual nationality with certain historically Spanish countries, basically the ...

Due to national laws, Spain does not permit dual-nationality, and as a result I am only a spanish national (I hold a Spanish passport), while I have the option to become a British national if I relinquish my Spanish one. British citizenship does not imply nationality as they are two separate ...

I married a USA American in August, and I have a few questions that I would be very grateful if someone could clarify. 1- Am I correct in saying that completion of an ...
