Dual or Multiple Citizenship - Q & AQuestion No 5.I was born in Malta in 1950 of parents both born in Malta. In 1972 I married an Italian citizen thus automatically acquiring Italian citizenship in view of the provisions of Italian law at that time. The marriage took place in Malta and soon afterwards I went to live with my husband in Italy. I used to visit Malta often to see my family - more than three (3) months in a year. Because of this I did not qualify under the 1989 dual citizenship legislation. Is this still my position under the recent citizenship amendments? No, this is no longer the case. Once you became a citizen of Malta on 21 September 1964 and have lived abroad for more than six years, acquiring or retaining a foreign citizenship in the process, you now qualify automatically to hold Maltese citizenship once again, together with your Italian citizenship.
