French Mayor: Jolie's Twins Can Be Citizens
NICE, France — They'll always have Nice.
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's soon-to-be-born twins will always be considered honorary citizens of Nice, regardless of whether they opt to obtain French citizenship, the mayor of Nice said Friday.
The Hollywood super couple have chosen the relatively low-key Riviera city for the birth of their twins, expected within weeks. Jolie has been hospitalized since Sunday in the seaside Lenval hospital, which has a magnificent view of the Mediterranean below. Pitt has been making regular visits, often with some of their children in tow.
"That is for the citizens of Nice a very great honor and a great satisfaction," mayor Christian Estrosi said. "We are very happy for this choice of Mrs. Angelina Jolie and Mr. Brad Pitt and I want to say to them that I wish a lot of joy to them and the babies, and great success for all of their lives."
The mayor affectionately called the twins "two little Nicois."
Angelina Jolie Being born in France is not enough to confer citizenship. But according to the French Foreign Ministry website, the twins will have the option of obtaining French citizenship when they turn 18 as long as France has been their primary residence for at least 5 years after age 11.
They are allowed to keep both French and American nationalities, so they will never have to choose.
"All their lives they will be Nicois and all their life they will be able to come to Nice and we will receive them with great honor," Estrosi said.
He was waiting eagerly to extend his congratulations on behalf of all the city's residents.
Jolie's doctor said Wednesday that the babies would arrive "within the coming weeks."
Pitt and their four children -- Maddox, 6; Pax, 4; Zahara, 3; Shiloh, 2 -- have taken up residence in the town of Correns, 60 miles from Nice, in advance of the new arrivals.
Clever mayor putting in an escape clause. To get their French citizenship the kids have to live there for five years as teens. Not going to happen with the way that family moves around. The French need not worry.

Word. It still won't change the fact that their parents are hos and skanks.
As the other person posted they have to live in that country at least 5 mos (In Spain 6 maybe there too) out of the year. Plus at 18 they will have to choose citizenship as the U.S. does NOT allow dual citizenship, unfortunately. This is a load of bullcrap. And that's why Angie can't have honorary citizenship in Cambodia (that's where she was supposed to have it right?).

Please stop talking out of your ass. It is not very attractive.
What is Dual Citizenship: Dual citizenship means that an individual is a citizen of two countries at the same time. It is also possible to be a citizen of three or more countries. However, every country has its own laws regarding dual citizenship. Some countries allow it; others do not, while some have no particular laws regarding dual citizenship. Dual citizenship is not something that can be applied for. It is a process that happens when a person becomes a citizen of another country, in addition to his or her country of birth. Dual citizenship occurs automatically to some individuals, for example: a child is born in the United States to foreign parents. In this example this child has U.S. Dual Citizenship since the child is automatically a citizen of the United States and a citizen of its parent's home country. The same applies to children of U.S. citizens born abroad where the child is both a U.S. citizen and a citizen of the country of birth.
US Dual Citizenship: The U.S. government allows dual citizenship. United States law recognizes U.S. Dual Citizenship, but the U.S. government does not encourage it is as a matter of policy due to the problems that may arise from it. It is important to understand that a foreign citizen does NOT lose his or her citizenship when becoming a U.S. citizen. An individual that becomes a U.S. citizen through naturalization may keep his or her original citizenship. However, as some countries do not recognize dual citizenship, it is important to consider it carefully before applying for U.S. citizenship.
Dual citizenship is a complex issue and it is important that you understand that there also obligations and not only benefits that comes with being a dual citizen. Being a citizen of two countries means that you need to obey the laws of both countries, including paying taxes and serving in the military (if required by any of the countries). The "United States Dual Citizenship Guide" explains these issues in detail.
