Is dual citizenship allowed in Mali?

Yes, dual citizenship is allowed in Mali.

Citizenship of Mali can be obtained:

By birth.
By origin.
By marriage.
Through naturalization.

1. By birth.

Malian law distinguishes between situations where a child is born in wedlock and out of wedlock. Children born legally in wedlock are automatically granted citizenship at birth; while children born illegitimate must follow an administrative procedure during their minority to prove their descent from their parents. Upon reaching the age of majority, children can renounce the citizenship acquired at birth. Those who acquire citizenship at birth include:

Children born in Mali to at least one parent, also born in Mali, who had original citizenship from an African state;
Children born abroad, when at least one of the parents was born in Mali and has Malian citizenship;
Children born in the country whose parents are unknown.

2. By origin.

A child born to a Malian mother or father, regardless of the country of birth of the child, has the right to obtain Malian citizenship.

3. By marriage.

A female foreign national who marries a Malian national can register for citizenship after marriage, without residency requirements. A male foreigner who marries a Malian citizen can obtain citizenship three years after the marriage.

4. Through naturalization.

Naturalization can be granted to persons who have lived in Mali for at least five years.

An applicant for citizenship must be of good character and conduct, have good mental health, and have no convictions that have resulted in imprisonment for more than one year.

In addition to aliens who meet these criteria, other individuals who may be naturalized include:

Children legally adopted by Malian parents automatically acquire Malian citizenship upon completion of the legal adoption;
Minor children can automatically naturalize when their parents become citizens;
Children born on the territory to foreign citizens can be naturalized within six months before reaching the age of majority after five years of residence;
Foreign parents (but not stateless persons), provided they have resided in the country for one year, can obtain citizenship if they have a child who is a Malian citizen;
For exceptional service to the nation, individuals may be naturalized after a five-year period of residence.
