> As far as I know the UK is the only country in the world that permits dual nationality with itself!

How does one apply for this?

It’s possible to have been born with multiple forms of British nationality such as being BOTC (e.g. bermudians) and a British citizen at the same time.

It’s also possible for e.g. a BNO to register for British citizenship after a period of residence in the UK. This does not extinguish the original nationality. Most hong kongers with British citizenship are in this bucket.

  • Oh right, so it's British Empire vs British mainland citizenship.

    • Yeah, it's not as crazy as they make it sound. They're also technically a Commonwealth citizen and previously an EU citizen.

      Not exactly two citizenships of the same country.
