With U.S. in slump, dual citizenship in EU countries attracts Americans

[mawilson 2,133]

I thought you made 2,999,999 (hypothetically speaking)? Why the need for 2 jobs?

LOL

Robin, don't you know by now that you can't one-up Mark. He's got everything either better, or more, or faster, than anyone here or anyone you ever knew in your lifetime, for that matter.

Damn right.

I bet no one ever gave Ma Wilson a white chocolate a$$ with dark chocolate ringpiece.

Good Lord!

But what about the a$$ itself? The frame, if you will?

nah, more like calling a bluff.

Calling my bluff on what? Having two jobs? Having my health insurance premiums paid for by my employer?

You can't measure class by the bank account. B)

I actually bumped into this topic, and was thinking.. maybe, since my mother was burn in Nürnberg, Germany, if I could use that to get a dual citizenship for USA/Greece.

If anything else, just to be able to move to the EU just in case, with little trouble. However, we actually have plans to move to the Canadian province of Saskatchewan (visit pending) sometime in the next 5 years.

Yeah good luck with that.

'cause things are so much better in Europe.

Europe is probably better if you're a lazy bum who likes to take it easy

Hey,I know a lot of them.

What about people without dual citizenship? How easy is it for Americans to live/work abroad? (not just EU but anywhere really)

That depends on each indivdual country.

Germany is similar to the US though in that department. It is very difficult to legally immigrate without being in the class of:

1) Family based immigration

2) Employer sponsorship

3) Student

4) Asylum

5) Investor

As far as I know they have nothing like a lottery or points system like the US or Canada, respectively.

I dont know much about our diversity lottery here. How easy is it to get asylum in Germany though? Our waiting list for refugees I think is something like 3 years just to get approved or longer:(

Well, if you're willing to be an Au Pair/Nanny it's very easy. For anything else, very difficult. Unless you have money. Last time I checked you could 'purchase' residency in Ireland for around $14,000 or 7,000 British pounds. Otherwise, you really need to be in a field that's in demand and short in supply like nursing, medicine or IT. For a European company to hire a non-citizen they have to prove first that they couldn't find a local capable of doing the job. And how does a company do that?

I think I'm in a special camp and can get dual citizenship, as my mother was born in Germany, even though she was stationed there with family, her dad being in the military, and left a couple years later.
