Dual citizenship issues...

Some nations recognize the right of their citizens to acquire another citizenship.
Some countries do not. Here are some considerations and facts...

Suppose you are European and become a Brazilian citizen.
You probably do not need to declare this to your country of citizenship.
So you keep that passport. You are a dual citizen...
But in Brazil, you are Brazilian. In Europe (x-country) you are a European.
When you travel, you can be a Brazilian or a European.

In Brazil, you are NOT a dual citizen. You became Brazilian, so you are Brazilian.
You cannot wave your European passport in Brazil.
You cannot say "this does not apply to me, I am European...!".
If you enter Brazil, with a European passport, your passport is stamped for ENTRY.
There is a limit of time you can be in Brazil... say 30 or 90 days for Europeans.
If 6 months later, you are in Brazil, and use your European passport, you have exceeded that limit.

Same thing in Europe, if you enter using your Brazilian passport.
If you wish to use your Brazilian citizenship, remember you are limited to stay 30 or 90 days...

I had 3 passports...
One from Belgium (born there), a USA passport (lived there 25 years) and now an Argentina passport.
In Argentina, I am NOT a Belgian or USA citizen. I am Argentino.
When I visit back home in Brussels, I use my Belgian passport.

Is there a country where "even" days you are one nationality, and "odd" days the other...?
