More information on Japanese Citizenship?

Question:

I've heard that you have to renounce to your native citizenship
Is it true?
Because i have also come to the knowledge that USA doesn't let you renounce your citizenship?
What happens then?,What if I want to go back to the USA later for a better job or something?
What about my children?If they like the idea of living in the USA can I make them citizens?


**Another thing, what if you were born in USA but your parents come from another country and you have citizenship by them to that country too?Do you have to renounce to both citizenships?Or just your native one?How do they know whats your native citizenship?
Thank You!!

Answer:

1. CALM DOWN

2. Yes you have to renounce your citizenship to the Japanese government. However the Japanese government has no way to independently verify that you did or did not.

It is quite simple, say "YES" you will, but then don't do it. There's no way for them to verify.

If you are extremely worried bout it, then don't take on Japanese citizenship. Nothing says you need Jpanese citizenship to live in Japan.

3. The US does allow you to renounce your citizenship if you do it willingly and freely. The US will not accept it, if someone made you do it even if you don't want to do it.

4. If you are a US citizen and have kids, your kids are automatically US citizens too.

5. If you were born in the USA but your parents were from another country, you could have citizenship of that other country if you claim it, but it depends, each country has different laws. They (the Japanese government) will know what citizenship you have, because you had to use a Passport to enter Japan.

6. Nothing says you need Japanese citizenship to live in Japan. You could be a permanent resident.
