Dual or Multiple Citizenship - Q & AQuestion No 4I was born in Malta in 1946 of parents both born n Malta. In 1967 I married a British citizen and soon after I applied for and was granted British citizenship, whilst still residing in Malta. In 1968 accompanied my husband to the United Kingdom, travelling on a British passport, and I have lived in England ever since. When I previously made enquiries with the Citizenship Department in Malta I was told that since lost Maltese citizenship in Malta, I do not qualify to hold dual citizenship. Has my position changed? The recent amendments effected to the Maltese citizenship laws have changed altogether the concept of citizenship. In view of the new section 9 of the Maltese Citizenship Act, since on 21 September 1964 you became a citizen of Malta, you have acquired the citizenship of another country and you have resided abroad for more than six (6) years, then you are deemed not to have never ceased to be a citizen of Malta. Hence you now qualify for dual citizenship.
