| Nov 15, 2019 at 8:52 | comment | added | abdul | Once one gets deported in Morocco, it's the end for them. Many Moroccan soccer team players use their European passports and have not renounced their European citizenships for loyalty reasons, does that tell you something? | |
| Nov 15, 2019 at 8:42 | comment | added | abdul | @Greendake, other possible scenario, let's suppose I travel to Morocco with my EU passport and Moroccan "carte nationale" (premise, dual citizenship is not illegal), and let's suppose that upon return, at immigration, I show always my EU passport and my "carte nationale". It can happen that an immigration officer can say "so you have a EU passport uh...you know what? You're not leaving from here, yallah, I don't like your face", what am I going to do? Can I defend my self then? No. Can I get consular help from Italy? No, because I'm a Moroccan in Morocco, hence internal affairs. | |
| Nov 15, 2019 at 8:35 | comment | added | abdul | @Greendake it could happen that I may get accused of some crime and hence for that particular crime I'm going to have my citizenship revoked, and eventually deportation, and on the conditions I mentioned in the last comment, well, it would be hell for me, I can just die there. | |
| Nov 15, 2019 at 8:15 | comment | added | abdul | Being deported in Morocco is the worst thing that can happen to a dual national. Some years ago in Italy, a 16-year old guy who was born and grew up in Italy with Moroccan lineage did not acquire citizenship yet, because the law states that anyone born in Italy from immigrants must wait till the 18th birthday and have at least 10 years of residence, was deported to Morocco and because he didn't know the language nor did he know how to conduct himself, he killed himself upon arrival. | |
| Nov 15, 2019 at 7:59 | comment | added | MSalters | For those wondering if this even matters: Yes, it does. For instance, in the Netherlands it's possible to lose the Dutch nationality after being convicted of a crime, but only if this does not leave one stateless. This has resulted in a number of criminals being deported to Morocco, despite having been born and raised in the Netherlands. | |

| Nov 14, 2019 at 19:16 | comment | added | abdul | @sharur I'm not trying to achieve anything in order to brag myself out, I'm just asking about a thing that I do not like and didn't depend on me in the first place. I would maybe like to make something so offensive against Morocco that I'd be relinquished my citizenship as a punishment (but that's my purpose), but I'm not meaning to show anything to the world, I just feel Moroccan citizenship as a burden and a useless weightful status. | |
| Nov 14, 2019 at 19:13 | comment | added | phoog | Just for some context, I would note that some countries do not allow loss of nationality. I do not know whether Morocco is such a country. Article 15 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights declares a right to change one's nationality, which implies a right to renounce or relinquish one's nationality, but it doesn't generally have the force of law. I do not know the status of the UDHR in Morocco. Very few countries if any would consider that the destruction of a passport or other evidence of nationality leads to the loss of that nationality. | |
| Nov 14, 2019 at 18:55 | comment | added | sharur | @abdul: What, ultimately, are you trying to achieve? A sense of self-satisfaction or symbolic action? Removal/reduction of Moroccan jurisdiction of yourself? Citizenship is based upon recognition, so under a certain course of action Morocco might still claim you as one of their citizens, but another country may refuse to recognize it. | |
| Nov 14, 2019 at 18:49 | comment | added | MSalters | @RonBeyer: Due to the sticky nature of Moroccan citizenship, many Europeans have dual citizenship from birth. They're not expats in any sense of the word. | |

| Nov 14, 2019 at 15:17 | comment | added | abdul | @Ron Beyer it is not related | |
| Nov 14, 2019 at 15:15 | comment | added | Harper - Reinstate Monica | What is your other citizenship? Is that other citizenship revocable? | |
| Nov 14, 2019 at 15:10 | comment | added | Ron Beyer | Do you have dual citizenship? I think this might be a better question for Expats.SE. | |
