Great news for all Pakistanis living in Denmark, they can can hold dual nationalities.
The Ministry of Interior released a statement on Sunday saying.
Thirty thousand Pakistanis living in Denmark would benefit from the arrangement and be able to hold Danish nationality without renouncing the Pakistani nationality. More than 5,000 Pakistanis settled in Denmark visit Pakistan every year.
The treaty for dual nationality has been in the works for many years which has created problems for the Danish passport holders who visit Pakistan.

Controversy Surrounding Dual Nationality
A dual nationalist cannot contest for elections, can’t hold a public office, or join the military. This issue has been taken up in the Supreme Court but the laws for dual nationality have never be amended. The 21st amendment, which allows dual nationalists to contest for elections and hold public office was never passed by the assembly.

Warning to everybody. With dual nationality its extreamly easy to expel european pakistanies, but sadly european pakistani dont understand that. Norway & Denmark have for last 45 years not permitted dual nationalities,, but after some incidents in Uk where they expelled 3 generation british pakistanis born over there holding both nationalities, Norway & Denmark have suddenly changed their stance. In Norway the goverment is so hounest that the minister in Norway largest newspaper in an interview admitted that the purpose with permitting dual nationality was to make it easier to expell people to their country of origin. Because then for instance Pakistan or some other country cant say that that person is not our citizen. Please spread this.
Why Pakistani Government not considering other EU Countries which are ready to have dual Nationality . Not only the ones requesting for it.
All the Pakistanis have equal writes for dual Nationality if the other Government agrees to do so.
Like Hungry,Slovenia Slovakia and so on which less Pakistanis residing there and have the same problem like Danis Pakistanis have.
