EnglishIn Israel, there is no denial of dual or even triple citizenship, as is the case with the law in the United States. It can be said that there are many benefits to maintaining multiple citizenships. Dual citizenship is considered a welcome thing in Israel that also allows for the possession of additional citizenships, but the trinity of Israeli, American and European passports, you know, will be a holy trinity. These three citizenships make it possible to hold three passports that cover the entire globe: open up endless economic options, ensure easier mobility between all countries in the world and grant rights and benefits outside and inside countries and airports, especially in the Corona era. However, the question arises for many who hold American citizenship and Israeli citizenship – will they even be able to hold a third citizenship including Portuguese citizenship? But before that, what does double nationality mean? A dual or triple nationality means that a person is a citizen of two or more countries. In the United States as in Israel, American law does not require a person to choose one nationality or another and allows more than one citizenship, which allows American passport holders to hold their Israeli citizenship and also issue a European Portuguese passport for themselves and their descendants. What’s more, there are advantages to holding three citizenships and here are some good enough reasons for that: -it is possible by law: first of all, issuing additional citizenship to American passport holders is possible under American law and therefore worthwhile and recommended. Not every place has such an open policy and there are citizenships that revoke additional citizenships or do not allow a person to hold additional citizenship. Not when it comes to the American, Israeli and Portuguese passports. It’s economic: A Portuguese passport is a smart economic move for American passport holders and there is no better example of this than the Corona era. The Corona has hit the United States more than anywhere else, leaving many Americans without jobs or without sources of investment. A European passport facilitates your business options and also gives you a financial insurance certificate. A Portuguese passport allows investors in Portugal, for example under tax agreements signed between Israel and Portugal, to be liable to tax in only one country. Which is not true of the United States, for example. It’s for sure: political or economic instability is something that cannot be expected. An additional European passport allows you greater traffic space and expands your options on normal days as well as in emergencies. A European Portuguese passport opens the door to the whole of Europe. These are countries with some of the most advanced welfare policies in the world and include free higher education, grants and many rights that we may not have, we will need them. Freedom of movement: European citizenship allows entry and passage between the entire EU countries and the European colonies scattered around the globe. In the Age of Corona European, citizenship makes it even easier to enter and move between EU countries. In addition, of course, entry will be allowed to countries that are considered hostile to Israel and the United States for business or tourism. Of course, it is always necessary to find out the criteria of each country you enter. Benefits: at the airport entrance and exit, you can always choose which passport to use depending on the country of destination. In this way, even if you are required to use your American passport at the entrance and exit from the United States or the Israeli passport at the entrance and exit to Israel, you can activate the Portuguese passport at the entrance to Europe when booking your flight, check-in, border control and more. Others, especially in the Corona period, will have to provide. In addition, in Europe itself, enjoy benefits reserved for EU citizens only, such as generous welfare policies, free study opportunities and more. So it is true that dual citizenship is a dual advantage, but if you have triple citizenship you are particularly lucky and even individuals of virtue. The world will open up to you and be much more pleasant and tolerant towards you and you will enjoy privileges that only a few enjoy.
