In a telephone interview an official at the embassy of Burundi in Ottawa stated that Burundi does not recognize dual citizenship with any other country (11 May 1995). The official also stated that Rwandans are subject to the same naturalization procedures as any other country's citizens (ibid.).
For general information on the nationality law of Burundi and a commentary on the law, please consult the attachments to Response to Information Request BDI11782 of 29 September 1992, which is available at Regional Documentation Centres.
