(+) How Lithuanian Descendants Can Obtain Dual Citizenship and a Lithuanian Passport

Dual citizenship is a very handy thing. Not only can you honor your ancestors, but dual citizenship often can open new opportunities for employment, retirement, travel, and more as well. If today's political climate encourages you to move to a new home overseas in "the old country," citizenship in that country can make things much easier. Citizens of most countries are welcomed “home” without a need for immigration documents, residency permits, or other paperwork.

In all cases, you are not required to give up your current citizenship. Instead, you can enjoy dual citizenship. That is, you can be a citizen of both countries and even legally carry two passports, one from your old country and one from your newly-adopted country.

Now Lithuania has recently offered citizenship to descendants of former nationals, even to the great-grandchildren of former Lithuanian citizens.
