Answer – There are some typical countries in the world that accept multiple citizenship: Australia, UK, France, USA, Canada. You can apply for naturalization and keep 2, 3 or as many citizenships as you want.

Answer – In principle, when you enter or exit Vietnam, you can only use 1 passport: either a Vietnamese passport, or a foreign passport.

Case 2: If you use a foreign passport to enter (need a valid visa or visa exemption certificate), you must also use an external passport when exiting.
