What does Dual Citizenship mean?

Dual Citizenship refers to the legal status of an individual who is a citizen of two countries simultaneously. This status allows them to enjoy the rights and privileges of both nations, such as owning property, voting, and working in both countries without the need for additional visas or permits. In the entertainment industry, dual citizenship can be advantageous for actors, directors, and crew members who frequently work internationally, as it simplifies legal and tax matters.

Example:An actor with dual citizenship in the U.S. and Canada is able to work in both countries without the need for work visas or additional permits.
Example: A director holding dual citizenship in France and Italy takes advantage of tax breaks in both countries while working on a co-production.
