South Korea — Dual-citizenship eligibility was modestly broadened in April 2024 for applicants with verifiable Korean ancestry — particularly Korean-Americans and second-generation diaspora seeking dual nationality without renouncing their existing citizenship. Implementation administered through Hi Korea's Citizenship office.
Who it affects: Korean-American and other Korean-ancestry foreign nationals seeking naturalisation.
