Article 4 — Dual and Multiple Nationality

1. 1.

   Kaharagian law does not require the renunciation of a foreign nationality as a condition of acquiring or retaining Kaharagian nationality, unless the Sovereign directs otherwise by decree in a particular case.

2. 2.

   A person who holds Kaharagian nationality together with one or more foreign nationalities is, for all purposes of Kaharagian law, treated as a Kaharagian national. No person may invoke a foreign nationality to evade an obligation owed under Kaharagian law.

3. 3.

   A dual or multiple national who becomes aware of a conflict between duties owed under Kaharagian law and duties owed under the law of a foreign nationality shall promptly notify the Royal Chancellery. The Chancellery may, with the approval of the Sovereign, grant such dispensations as are consistent with the Fundamental Laws and the interests of the State.

4. 4.

   The holding of a foreign nationality does not, by itself, constitute a ground for deprivation of Kaharagian nationality. However, the voluntary acquisition of a foreign nationality may constitute evidence of repudiation of allegiance for the purposes of Article 16.

5. 5.

   A dual or multiple national is eligible to hold any office or dignity of the State to the same extent as a person holding only Kaharagian nationality, unless the Sovereign or the law prescribes otherwise for a particular office or dignity requiring undivided loyalty.
