Losing South African Citizenship
South African citizens can lose their citizenship if they acquire another nationality without first applying for retention.
This is one of the most common mistakes made by individuals applying for dual citizenship.
Can You Get It Back?
In some cases, it may be possible to apply for resumption of citizenship, but the process can be complex and time-consuming.
How to Avoid Losing Citizenship
The safest way to avoid losing your South African citizenship is to apply for retention before obtaining another nationality.
