Can I have dual citizenship?
Yes, Sweden fully allows dual and multiple citizenship. You do not need to give up your current citizenship when you become a Swedish citizen.
Sweden's rules
Since 2001 Sweden allows dual citizenship without restrictions. If you become a Swedish citizen you keep your previous citizenship if the other country allows it.
Your other country's rules
Some countries do not allow dual citizenship and may automatically revoke your citizenship when you become Swedish. Check the rules with your current country's embassy before applying.
Always check current rules with Migrationsverket as rules may change.
