This guide is designed to help US citizens navigate the complex decision of establishing dual nationality by detailing the pros and cons of holding two passports, listing the EU countries that allow it, and comparing the three primary pathways: Citizenship by Descent (Ancestry), Standard Naturalization (Residency), and Residency by Investment (Golden Visas).
