Dual or Multiple Citizenship - Q & AQuestion No 2Now that you have clarified my position and my new status I have another question related to my case. Whilst living in England I had two children, a boy who was born in 1960 and a girl who was born in 1963. Do my children have a claim to dual citizenship? Your children were born abroad of a father likewise born abroad. Therefore, according to the provisions of Maltese law, they never had a claim to Maltese citizenship. Obviously, therefore, they do not qualify to hold dual citizenship. You may wish to note, however, that if any of your children has been residing in Malta for five (5) years, then he or she may apply to be naturalised as a citizen of Malta. In that case he or she will be able to hold Maltese citizenship together with his or her British citizenship.
