In the wake of the 2024 presidential election, many Americans, especially celebrities, have pledged to give up their citizenship and move elsewhere.
For Americans exploring dual citizenship options or seeking a second passport, many countries offer pathways to citizenship based on ancestry.
These countries often allow citizens of foreign nations to claim nationality through parents, grandparents or direct ancestors.
Here is a list of nine countries offering citizenship by descent, arranged alphabetically.
1. Ghana
Under Ghana’s Citizenship Act of 2002, individuals with a Ghanaian parent can apply for citizenship.
The country’s “Year of Return” initiative encourages African Americans and Afro Caribbeans to reconnect with their heritage.
Ghana also offers the “Right of Abode” program, allowing those with African descent to live indefinitely in the country without needing a visa, provided they can document their lineage.
2. Germany
3. Hungary
4. India
5. Ireland
6. Italy
7. Poland
8. Portugal
9. Spain

Haiti should top the list.
> Hungary allows individuals with Hungarian parents or grandparents to claim citizenship, regardless of the number of generations abroad. <
Yes.
> Knowledge of the Hungarian language is not a requirement. <
Unless the rules were changes very recently, intermediate knowledge of the Hungarian language is a requirement. An error like that makes me wonder just how accurate the rest of the article is.
A Left-wing gungrabbing babykilling child-grooming Leftie wanting to flee to Hungary?
My wife is half Italian and looked at getting a dual citizenship. Possible, but a paperwork nightmare that is costly and long. we decided it was not worth it.
5. Ireland
no extradition treaty
WHY?!
Regards,
May they take full advantage of these countries’ offers.
I see 4 of the PIIGS on the list...
Irish citizenship also provides the right to reside anywhere in the EU. I have a cousin who relied on our Irish grandparents for Irish citizenship. She then moved to France to attend and graduate from the world’s leading school of commercial and industrial kitchen design. She now travels the world doing that kind of work at an absurdly high salary on contract for a high end Swiss hotel and restaurant chain.
That seems like a low standard in this age of open borders and Muslim invasion.
Because anyone looking around at the trajectory of the USA over the last 4 years who thought they would be “safe” because “this is the USA, and we don’t trample freedoms here” is an idiot. Lots of people, including myself, want to know where the exits are.
Hopefully this will derail that descent into the fiery inferno. I am still keeping my options open

Among some of my friends of Italian descent, this has been become a “thing”. But, you are right, there apparently is some degree of bureaucracy involved so perseverance is required.
We knew a woman, a BIC (Bronx Irish Catholic), whose father was Irish. She got an Irish passport. We told her when the time came, and she could no longer take care of herself, her children (whom we also knew - nice boys) were going to leave her in in Shannon Airport with her Irish passport pinned to her blouse.
My Great-grandfather emigrated from Dublin to Brooklyn, where he joined the New York Volunteer Infantry. Enlisted to serve three years, and mustered in as private, Co. B, September 8, 1862; deserted, May 2, 1863, on the march to Chancellorsville, VA.
Maybe knowledge of Hungarian is a requirement for obtaining Hungarian citizenship - whereas being of Hungarian heritage makes you applicable for residency in Hungary, but not for automatic citizenship.
Just a guess…
I wish we had a program where people could trade citizenship with someone in another country.
You have to speak conversational Hungarian to regain citizenship.
Not an easy task.
My Great Grandparents on Mom’s side were born in Germany. Per this article, that qualifies me to apply for German citizenship.
