Yea of course because why not?
I mean, all other things aside, I don’t know why you’d get rid of your original citizenship unless you had to do it or there was some other pressing concern like taxation. Then, yeah, there’s a reason.
It’s often not easy to renounce citizenship, and it’s more paperwork for no reason unless there is one. Also, generally, having multiple citizenships is overall advantageous.
The title of this may as well be “Most People Choose Path Of Minimal Bureaucracy.”
There’s really no reason not to. People wont give up their families and friends where they came from, and keeping your old nationality means you will never have difficulty having to make an emergency trip for a family member who is in the hospital or someone unfortunately passes away.
Weird reporting by DW but okay
Germans do the same when they “migrate” somewhere
I mean CDU have already shown naturalisation can be revoke. So why risk becoming stateless.
What a surprise, since people are more allowed to keep dual citizenship, they keep it 😮 😮
And even more shocking, the ones who don’t, is because they can’t 😮 😮
of course, if AfD comes to power we have to runaway.
“People choose a lazier option whenever they have a chance”
Here, fixed the title.
There isn’t a choice in some cases. Argentina doesn’t allow you to renounce Argentine nationality. The US does but makes it a cumbersome process. And why would you renounce and give up your right to travel to your original country? You will find that countries like India and China do require giving up their nationalities once you naturalize elsewhere. And India in particular aggressively enforces it.
if id be in that position id do the same.. move to denmark and keep my birth luck german passport too? why not
It is a poor decision to not keep your nationality when getting the German one. Why do that? Why renounce to your roots, to your mother tongue, to your homeland if you can have both? Also, it just makes sense for the future. You never know when one would be more handy than the other.
I get it.
However being from the US, and having to file txes/FBARs every year for US and taxes/Anlage KAPs for Germany every year and not being able to invest in anything without using weird workarounds is stressful as hell.
I mean yeah? I’m Iranian my parents are Iranian (though we are in Denmark) there’s no way to rescind your Iranian citizenship and without it, it is a pain to go to Iran
Not only because why not, but as a foreigner you never know when Germans decide to pull another WW which you would think is ridiculous but the rising voting of AfD to power makes it seem less so. So you want a backup option especially if you will have non-white kids.
No shit, Sherlock.
All the benefits like tax options and none of the drawbacks.
I dont think people with one citizenship understand how much of a hassle it is to give up a nationality. It is a very bureaucracy heavy process and if the country in question doesnt actually want dual citizens, they’ll make your life as hard as possible. Its far easier to forget about your original passport and leave it be rather than try to give it up
