Anyone seeking dual citizenship? (2nd passport)



I got 3, could possibly get a 4th one. A bit expensive but it's useful shit, you never need a visa for anything. Fuck yes diaspora

It's also very good for those that want to live the PT lifestyle and don't want their home country to keep track of everywhere they've been.
 
I was born in a German hospital to two American parents. Not on a military base. Do I have any claim you think?
 
Fuck dual citizenship. Any one with a "jus sanguinis" pass can fuck up their resident country and flee under a "heritage" claim.

The U.S. allowing these people to hold public office has played a big part in its decline.

Lol, has anyone noticed the tendency for Irish peeps to be liberal to the point of subversion?
 
I've looked into it. I can get a Vietnamese passport (borne there) but it looks like it'll take $3,000USD and 3-6 months of paperwork.

I really don't see the advantages of a 2nd passport. What's up with the hype?
-Vietnam requires a visa to almost every country, no point in using it for travel.
-I hate paperwork. I heard the Vietnamese DMV is worse than the US DMV.
-End of the world revolts in the US? ha! Its more likely I'll get hit by a car when out drinking.
-Overseas bank to hide money from the IRS? not the biggest of my concerns right now.

Is there any *real* reason to get one?
 
i've looked into the irish option -- 3 out of my 4 grandparents are irish. but due to the timing, i'm excluded from eligibility.

great-grandparents born in ireland, grandparents born in US. both my parents were (and still are) eligible for dual citizenship on that fact; had either of them actually claimed dual citizenship before i were born, i'd be eligible to make a claim now. but since they didn't, i'm not.

yeah, i think that has something to do with the irish culture of feeling oppressed and the liberal neurosis to rail against any perceived power/authority. fucking irish.

You likely wouldn't get a benefit with a vietnamese passport, but OP and others would with an irish or italian passport, since those countries are part of the EU. If you hold a passport for any EU member state you get automatic and unrestricted access to visit/live/work in all EU member states. That pretty much covers most of europe.

An EU citizenship is especially attractive if you're an American that has to deal with the heavy handed nature of the American tax system; particularly if you are overseas.

A Vietnamese passport would be useful as a bank passport, but that's not a priority for SirKonstantine.

In Germany you can only qualify for German nationality if your parents are German too. Sorry bub.

What about grandparents? I researched a tiny bit, and German law seems quite sketchy on it. Both of my dad's parents were born in Germany, but (unfortunately?) weren't Jews persecuted by the Nazis, because apparently if they were that would get me German citizenship straight away.

Not sure on the rest. Seems to be quite the grey area in German law on that.
 
Italy is one of the easiest to get you just have to make sure that which ever ancestor immigrated to the united states had children before naturalizing. If they took the oath of allegiance before having children it severs the right of citizenship for their offspring.

Also pre-1945 women in Italy did not pass on citizenship to their children it only came from the father. You can still get citizenship if you fall into this category but you need to hire an Italian lawyer and file suit in Italian court.

That's a great question for a German immigration lawyer. Some European countries would qualify you if your grand parents or great grand parents were nationals of that particular European country. Poland and Ireland are examples.

I think it's worth it for you to find out. You have a much better chance that the dude who was born in Germany by two Americans.

Hungary does it too so if your great grandparents lived under the territory of the austro-hungarian empire for example and you can prove blood relation, it's a done deal. That passport is a good replacement for the us passport as far as visa free travel and a way safer option when traveling to sketchy countries.

You can claim if you're born before 2000 it seems (even to non german parents) - Jus soli - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
