12 African Countries That Allow Dual Citizenship

Ghana

Ghana adopted the Dual Citizenship Act in 2000 which allows Ghanaians to hold other citizenships. The law provides for non-Ghanaians who reside in the country to apply for citizenship by registration. Individuals can also apply for Ghanaian citizenship if they have contributed in any documented area that promotes national interest. In 2002, parliament passed the Citizenship Act 2002 (Act 591), which allows individuals with U.S. Citizenship to apply for dual citizenship.
