Yes, Pakistan allows its citizens to hold multiple nationalities. There are no restrictions on the number of citizenships a Pakistani can hold. However, there are some specific requirements and regulations depending on the other countries involved.

  • Reciprocity: Pakistan has dual nationality arrangements with specific countries. These countries also permit their citizens to hold Pakistani citizenship. The list of these countries can be found on the website of the Directorate General of Immigration & Passports (DGIP) https://dgip.gov.pk/immigration/dual_nationality.php.
  • Individual Country Requirements: Each country has its own rules regarding dual citizenship. Some countries might require renouncing your Pakistani citizenship before granting their citizenship.
  • Pakistan's Citizenship Law: The Pakistan Citizenship Rules, 1952, do not explicitly prohibit multiple citizenships. https://www.refworld.org/legal/legislation/natlegbod/1951/en/49552

It is essential to research and understand the rules and regulations of the countries you are considering. Seeking advice from a legal professional specializing in citizenship and immigration law is always recommended.
