“Citizenship of the Republic of Lithuania shall be acquired by birth or on other grounds established by law. With the exception of individual cases provided for by law, no one may be a citizen of both the Republic of Lithuania and another state at the same time. The procedure for the acquisition and loss of citizenship shall be established by law.”
Citizenship of the Republic of Lithuania is acquired by birth or on other grounds established by law. Except in individual cases provided for by law, no one may be a citizen of Lithuania and another state at the same time; the procedure for acquiring and losing citizenship is set by law.
A foreigner who has lived in Lithuania for years and applies for naturalisation acquires citizenship on a ground set by law, and in most cases must give up the previous citizenship.
Remember that birth is the primary way of acquiring citizenship and that dual citizenship is allowed only in individual cases provided for by law. The procedure is set by law, not by the Constitution.
