Members who were born in one country, but also have citizenship or nationality in another country (whether through birthright, acquisition from one or both parents, naturalization process, etc.). Laws regarding dual or multiple nationalities vary by that country. Any member born in a special administrative region may acquire dual citizenship from that region and the country that claims ownership or rule over that region.

Countries that allow dual/multiple citizenships include (but not limited to): United States, Canada, United Kingdom, 17 countries in the European Union

Countries that do not allow dual/multiple citizenships include (but not limited to): Japan, China, South Korea, Indonesia

  • Any person born with dual citizenship must choose one to keep before their 22nd birthday, but there are some rare exceptions made under certain conditions depending on said country.

NOTE: Members born in Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan also have Chinese citizenship due to China's extant claims of having control of those areas, so these members are not included in this list.
