If somebody has dual citizenship, could they stay in, for example Canada for 6 months (that's the max amount u can spend there during one year, as a..

...visitor), then exit the country and re-enter the next day with your second passpart for another 6 months. So could you practically be a permanent resident, by switching your passports every 6 months?
If you have citizenship there shouldn't be a limit to the time you get to spend in the country that granted you that right.

In any case, check the country's laws in advance

@Underconstruction Yes, you're right. I thought that maybe somebody knew, also it was interesting to entertain the idea. Personally, I don't think I'll ever do that, because I need a job to sustain myself x) And you're not allowed to work as a visitor, you need a work visa and permit.
@Dan193 Right.

I have seen people using their passports ( one for leaving, one for entering)but I don't know if what you state is that easy to achieve.

Besides you'd be with a tourist status and not allowed to work so that would be a problem if you break the law.

@Underconstruction Yes. I think that would work only for rich people or those that make their money online and just love Canada xD

Yes but you need to check the tax laws, for example which country you earn and report income in. Some have reciprocal agreements with minimum stay duration. Providing you are a resident of both.


As for passport switching you’ll get caught and arrested, and justifiably so.

@DownTheStreet So that's against the law? I thought I found a loophole x)

If it’s the USA, just cross the southern border, even better if you’re not white @Dan193

@DownTheStreet With USA is tougher without a visa, because you can stay only 3 months per year. Also there are like 7 countries I remember, that if you ever visited them during your life, you are not allowed in the U.S. Trump made the law. The countries are Iraq, Iran, Syria and a couple of others from around that region.

Rules may vary by country but if you are a dual citizen between US/Canada you don't need a visa and can stay as long as you want.

@CountScrofula
No. I meant if you have citizenship in Austria and in Italy. Could u travel to Canada and use the Austrian passport for 6 months, get out of Canada and re-enter it the next day with your Italian passport for another 6 months and then do the same thing again continuously.
CountScrofula · 41-45, M
@Dan193 Oh! Misread you. It's not legal to do so. Whether or not you -can- is another question entirely.

@kingkyri Right, but there's still a limit to how long you can stay in a country, if both countries are not in EU. Canada has 6 months, USA has 90 days, etc.

How could you have two citizenships in the same country?

@MartinTheFirst No. I meant if you have citizenship in Austria and in Italy. Could u travel to Canada and use the Austrian passport for 6 months, get out of Canada and re-enter it the next day with your Italian passport for another 6 months and then do the same thing again continuously.

@Dan193 oh, like a vacation?
Dan193 · 31-35, M
@MartinTheFirst Yep. Like you went there to live together with your girlfriend for example. So you wouldn't have to spend 6 months with her, then come home and wait for the end of the year to be able to visit again for 6 months.
