TIE HoySpanish dual nationality
Who can keep another nationality when becoming Spanish, and what declaration steps may apply.
Must I give up my original nationality?
It depends on your former nationality and the applicable legal exception. A Spanish renunciation declaration and effective loss under the other country's law are not always the same.
