Summary for: TELL US: Would you give up your American citizenship for a Czech one?A U.S. Republican senator’s decision last week to introduce a bill that could force Americans born abroad to choose between U.S. citizenship and any other nationality has sent shockwaves through the American community in Czechia.
Senator Bernie Moreno’s proposed Exclusive Citizenship Act of 2025 would require dual citizens born abroad born abroad to U.S. parents and naturalized citizens who later acquire a foreign citizenship, to renounce one of their nationalities within a year.
For some of the roughly 11,000 Americans living in Czechia, particularly those born here, this would mean being forced to choose between retaining their U.S. citizenship and keeping their Czech nationality, potentially forcing them to give up legal rights, property, work, healthcare, and travel privileges in one country.
If you’re a dual U.S.–European citizen living in Czechia, or simply hoping to become one down the line, we’d like to hear how you feel the new bill could impact your life and future.
