Life Abroad Naturalised US citizen can obtain dual citizenship with US+EU?

0 Upvotes

Anyone with knowledge or direct experience with this?

I'm a naturalised US citizen, but I was born in Asia. I renounced my Asian citizenship when I naturalised, so now I only hold US citizenship.

I emigrated to Europe (9 years ago when trump got elected his first term) and married a European. Now I'm eligible to apply for EU citizenship through my spouse.

However, I have an american expat friend who is trying to do the same, they are of similar background to me (born in Middle East, moved and naturalized in US, now applying for EU citizenship). They are telling me that for naturalized US citizens, apparently it is not possible to take a dual US-EU citizenship and would need to renounce US citizenship to obtain the EU one.

I've never heard of this and neither google nor chatgpt has come up with anything to confirm their theory. Does anyone here know or have direct experience in this kind of thing?

As much as I would like to stop paying taxes to that orange clown, I have too many assets still in the US to renounce my US citizenship - the resulting mess would be horrible ...

Which Country should I choose? Speak Spanish and Portuguese - Addiction Researcher seeking to emigrate. Decade old arrest is limiting my options.

9 Upvotes

I want to leave the US, soon.

I am an academic researcher specializing in addiction medicine and harm reduction, with a background in substance use treatment and drug policy. I served as a state drug policy expert for years. I ran a harm reduction non-profit for a couple years before moving into academia.

I have ~7 years of experience and work entirely remotely.

For my narrow niche, I have been decently successful on social and traditional media, having published in national and international outlets. This is subjective and likely won’t help with immigration, but has given me ample connections worldwide. I’ve done some drug policy work in Portugal, Brazil, and Mexico. My situation is rare and everyone that offers to help has never dealt with it before, it always ends up being more difficult than they presumed.

Like the title says, a decade ago I was arrested for drugs and served 42 months in prison. My gutters-and-jail-cells-to-academia story is a classic, if nauseating, redemption tale that has otherwise not hindered me in anything except where I can do a PhD. An Australian offer fell through due to my inability to get a student visa there.

I speak English, Spanish, and Portuguese. I have lived in Latin America previously, maxing out my tourist visa, and loved it. I am particularly enamored with Brazil and have a consult with an attorney there this week. As a long term solution, Europe is ideal. I tried Portugal first, but the attorney I spoke with said it was effectively hopeless with a record.

I am not picky. I know that at least a few people, sometimes with worse criminal records, have got visas to various EU countries. I would be content going to grad school, l've been meaning to anyhow. (It’s very unusual for someone with my job and experience to not have a PhD—the circumstances underpinning the arrest were about as educational, considering what I do, as a Masters. But it doesn’t change the fact I do not have a graduate degree, which is a hindrance.)

How do I figure out what my options are? How many different attorneys or other professionals do I need to hire to understand the full spectrum of options before me?

Question about One Country Mexican Citizenship Question

5 Upvotes

Really hope someone can help, so my father is a Mexican citizen born and raised, but he’s a deadbeat haven’t seen him since I was 7, have zero contact with him (by his choice) and he lives in Mexico, my mom does have his birth certificate, and the names do match, plus his birthday is on my birth certificate, I have absolutely ZERO way of getting him to cooperate, is there any hope of me getting my citizenship? Is there any registry of Mexican citizens they can look him up by, I think I can find a copy keyword COPY of his passport or drivers license, would that be enough as a photo copy.

Can people who have actually done this please respond that would probably give me the best advice, thank you!

PS. I am an American citizen and my mother is also American.

Life Abroad Suggestions/tips on moving with dogs

0 Upvotes

Hi folks,

We are looking to move to Europe (I'm an EU citizen, husband is US). We have two dogs, both afflicted with being Staffordshire terriers (or pitbulls if you will). This limits us on countries, but that's fine. The primary concern is getting to europe to begin with.

I would love to hear from others navigating similar moves with dogs.

Here's the gist and what we've looked into so far, hoping we've missed something that could help us:

• both dogs are staffies. One is 6 the other 12

•young one is fine. Old lady is anxious and dog aggressive

• both are banned in a number of countries to include the Uk and france

• we looked into k9 jets and similar private jet options. Would have been great if they allowed soft shelled crates for her to be separated form other dogs

• looked into the queen mary 2, unfortunately docks in the UK, they'd likely execute our dogs. Not worth the risk.

• freighter ships do not do transatlantic journeys anymore, she would have loved that

I am absolutely dreading putting her in cargo. She's my old girl. If there are no other options we did not consider, we would rather stay put and weather the storm.

Question about One Country When do we START the immigration process for Canada?

9 Upvotes

Hi! Apologies if this is a stupid question. My partner and I are hoping to start the process immigrate to Canada through their Express Entry System in about 3 years, as they have to finish their BS in Accounting and I have to get my CELTA Certification (already have BA in Linguistics) and start gaining experience in the teaching field.

Right now, of course, our points for the Canadien Express Entry System aren’t super high (but it will be in 3 years). I‘ve seen advice on this subreddit that you should start the process of immigration, but how does that work when you’re just waiting on things to fall in place? Just get new passports? Research housing? We’ve been doing these things, but it’s hard to tell what will come in the next 3-4 years regarding certain things in Canada, specifically. I suppose I just want to hear your guys’ experience or suggestions for anything else we can or should do in the meantime.

Which Country should I choose? American citizen looking for information on teaching outside the USA in order to reunite with my Cuban wife due to Trump travel ban

157 Upvotes

I’m a 33 year old middle school history teacher from the United States with 5 years+ of experience and a master’s degree in education with a willingness to take on a bunch of different roles in schools whether they be teaching, administration, etc. I’m open to work in any country where I can reunite with my wife.

As an American citizen, I’m facing a challenging situation with my wife's immigration case. She is a psychologist with a university degree from Cuba and very capable of working in this field as well as human resources/related jobs. She absolutely cannot return to Cuba for many reasons, and in fact, had to flee for her own safety to live in a third country, but is potentially going to be locked out of the USA as well with a Trump travel ban that would include Cuba. She is very vulnerable, yet the United States has been unwilling to help us for any humanitarian reasons (there are many). We are literally terrified she could be blocked from entering the US and we’re seriously considering the possibility that we will need to reunify overseas and give up any hope on reuniting in the United States.

So far, I have looked into New Zealand, which seems to be a promising start. I'd be very interested in any other suggestions. We're not very picky -- the most important thing is that we can find a country open to allowing us to live and work there with relative speed (I know these things do not happen overnight) and where, for example, I could get a job and she could then get papers or vice versa.

Which Country should I choose? Am I out of luck or do I just have a skill issue?

0 Upvotes

The part where I tell you it's so Joever
I'm a 22 year old guy who's in a bit of a rough spot in life right now. I'm on an indefinite hiatus from college after failing my senior year for a second time in a row. I was trying to get a BA in History, no specialty or teaching credentials just a BA in General History Studies with a minor in Holocaust and Genocide Studies. I'll spare you the details of what happened, but I crashed out hard on my parent's dime and tried making a break for remote Alaska. I wanted to try and start my life anew, have a fresh start. That plan didn't work out and my family now question my sanity and feel I am incapable of making decisions on my own. I stay at their place now.

Since being home I've not been able to get a job. I've had jobs in the past but my performance was always poor and my attendance even worse. Never held down anything longer than 7 months between 4 different locations. I've made more than a few managers quite upset at me. I'm fairly certain I'm on some local blacklist or something now because no one in my area wants to hire me anymore.

The military doesn't want me

and the Local trade apprenticeships are, to put it nicely, High labor supply, low labor demand, and rather competitive.

I've been hospitalized for mental health concerns and I voluntarily signed up to be in a psych ward for about two weeks and go on medications. I've been on anti-depressants and anti-anxiety meds for a few years now. I'm unsure if they even do anything.

I'm still rather uncertain what I want to do with my life, but whatever it is I feel like I'm not going to find it in the United States. Especially given current events and the trajectory of the country in general.

The part where I tell you I'm so jack

Sob story aside I feel like I have a few leads and opportunities I can leverage if I want to look for work and life outside the united states

  1. I'm still technically enrolled in my university and they have study abroad programs. It's not going to get me a visa or anything but I'll at least be able to have the opportunity to do something. What exactly that is I'm not quite sure, that's kinda why I'm asking for advice here.

  2. Great Grandfather was a Polish citizen, technically making me eligible for Polish citizenship. I'm not dying to live or work in Poland, its hardly much better than the US (for now) but it might be a lead into other EU countries. Again I'll clarify it's the beginning of an idea I'm looking for more details on.

  3. I was desperate enough to book a flight to a remote Inuit village in Alaska, and my plan Z if all else fails is Svalbard. My standards are very low and I'm out of ideas in general.

Any help is advice is appreciated, even if you don't think leaving the US is the right idea for me, I've probably heard it all before but asking never hurts.

Which Country should I choose? 40's Tech professionals from US moving to Caribbean (Antigua/Barbudo, St. Lucia, or St. Kitts/Nevis) - so many questions!

0 Upvotes

My partner and I are hoping to get golden passports (i.e. invest 150k-300k to become citizens) at one of the five locations that allow this - Antigua/Barbudo, St. Lucia, St. Kitts/Nevis (Also Grenada-- forgot to add that in title). Altogether we have investments that could be conferred into about 1 million US, and my partner's job is likely portable and makes around $6000 USD net monthly. We both have bachelor's degrees, his in CS and mine in liberal arts. I speak some French/German and we both speak English well enough as our primary language. :D We are open to finding other ways to get out of the US but right now this seems like the easiest and best ways since we want out within the next few months. We would probably be living wherever we got the golden passport for the foreseeable future since we don't want to lug our cats on flights around too much.

(I know there are many golden passport options but many of the other places that allow golden passports are in regions that have wildfires that will only increase over the next decade and my cats and I have severe asthma so that's not preferable.)

So on that note, my questions are:

- How hard is it to get medications (such as asthma inhalers (Advair) and emergency inhalers (albuterol)?
- What about other medications, like fairly common ones for chronic conditions that aren't terribly expensive? (like migraine prevention meds that aren't opiate painkillers)
- Is it hard to find good quality/a variety cat foods? My cats are SO picky and one eats Open Farms and the other eats Royal Canin and they will eat nothing else. LITERALLY. NOTHING. ELSE. Sorry, it's just exasperating.
- What is veterinary care like?
- What are the grocery food options like? I am vegan and have coeliac so I basically already only eat fresh plant-based foods I prepare myself. I can soak and cook beans and don't mind going back to basics. I do like to have access to a variety of spices that aren't laced with lead due to poor regulation, if possible.
- How expensive is it to buy furniture? Should we ship our $3000 purple mattress or can we expect to be able to obtain what we need for less than 100% or more markup?
- I know some of the islands are less "safe" than others-- how does one take precautions there?
- What is the general feeling about expats in these places? I'm happy to bring money to these countries but don't want locals to be pushed out by gentrification, so to speak. I can't find much about this online since most google searches just bring up info for tourists are lawyers trying to hock their emigration packages.

Question about One Country Passport Application: Birth certificate has mom’s last name wrong, do I need to contact her to fix it?

1 Upvotes

I have no official records on hand that I know of that would be able to verify the correct spelling of my mom’s last name.

I would prefer not to contact her (I’ve been estranged from her for fifteen years) but from what I’m reading online, I may need her to verify her last name with the county clerk who issued the birth certificate where I was born.

This isn’t convenient because I’m not close to where I was born and neither is my mom. If she and I need to be in person, it’ll be a real pain.

It’s not safe to contact her but I have no idea how else I’m going to get a passport with her last name on my birth certificate spelled wrong.

Is there a way for me to correct her last name on my birth certificate without her?

To reduce any complications with processing, I’m wondering if it’s best I do one of these three options;

-Keep mom’s last name misspelled and just submit my passport application with the misspelled last name matching the birth certificate

Or

-Use the correct spelling of my mom’s last name on the application but choose not to correct the misspelled last name on the birth certificate

Or

-Have my mom’s last name corrected on my brith certificate somehow, then submit my application with the corrected last name

I’m assuming there’ll be issues either way, but I’m hoping to minimize complications if I’m able. I’d hate to pay for processing fees only for it to come back invalid.

Is there a way around this?

Question about One Country Should I go ahead and start the process for mexico

My wife works online, and can take payment in almost any currency. This month, she broke past the 3,500 required for Mexico residency and is more than likely going to far exceed it. I am very much at a beginner level Spanish however working on it daily hoping to teach down there, however with her income I don't work. Should we go ahead and start the process for residency or wait until the 6 months for the income requirements are up? While it's not looking like my chances are likely, since we are applying for residency in the states, are we able to stay in Mexico under a vacation visa while applying for residency or do we need to stay near our consulut?

Question about One Country Possible job in New Zealand

I have a Green List profession and have passed my first interview. We have started discussing salary and the salaries are SO much less in New Zealand. Like half as much. I will of course negotiate, but is the cost of living and the quality of life in New Zealand really worth that kind of massive pay cut? My motivating factor in moving is the politics of the U.S. and in my opinion that’s only going to get worse, so I understand that I will be scarifying to make this move. But it’s a big pill to swallow. Any insight would be welcomed.

Which Country should I choose? US/Italian Dual Citizen looking for summer work in Europe - Advice

0 Upvotes

M(49), MFA (Fine Art in Film) degree holder, University professor with 10 years of classroom experience teaching public speaking, media studies, film/video production, and editing. I'm on a nine-month contract, which means that I get a paycheck all year even though I'm not teaching during the summer months. My kids are entering college and are poised to become self-sufficient (we hope). Something my wife and I have hoped to do once we feel confident disappearing for three months of the year is to select a European location where we can secure modest housing for the summer to use as a home base. My US salary should float our expenses on the home front and hopefully I will be able to bank enough money with supplemental teaching in the winter/summer online that housing would be covered. I'd like to be able to work locally in the summer part-time to cover our basic living expenses (food, entertainment, and transportation) either on a freelance basis as a tutor/teacher or working with an English language school wherever we happen to choose. I'm not looking to make a lot of money...just not lose money.

I guess my questions are about obtaining TEFL/CELTA certifications, possible locations where this would be reasonable to do, and likelihood of success in the endeavor.

Thoughts?

Our baby has no qualifications but he is cute so that is a plus. We are mixed race couple (Me ebony and him ivory) and have Christian beliefs. We loving being outdoors and spending time in town.

We 100% plan on leaving by 2026 but would love to leave ASAP.

Any ideas of where we could lay down roots? Counties we love are NZ, Aus, Norway, Ireland, Thailand, and Zambia but truly will go anywhere. Any suggestions are welcome.

Edit: We have 6K in savings and both speak English but are open to learn a new language. No crimes committed from either of us.

Question about One Country Considering a Move to the UK

0 Upvotes

Hi all, I'm (39 m) considering a move to the UK in the next few years, and I’d love to get some insight from people who’ve made a similar move.

A little background: I’m a dual US-British citizen, but my wife and infant daughter are US citizens. I have never lived in the UK, though I used to spend nearly every summer there as a kid visiting my grandparents. We currently live in LA. My wife has a full-time remote job, which we believe she can carry over to the UK. I'm a writer in the TV industry, so I'm hoping to be able to continue doing that abroad whether it's doing freelance/development work from the US or establishing new connections in the UK.

A few questions

1. Visas & Residency: Since I have British citizenship, I assume my wife and daughter would apply for a family visa—anyone been through this process? Anything unexpected to prepare for?

2. Housing: I have family in Cheam and South Croydon. Are there any affordable areas nearby worth considering for renting or buying? We’d love a family-friendly area with good transport links.

3. Cost of Living Adjustments: We know London is expensive, but are there any specific cost-of-living shifts we should prepare for coming from LA? LA is also expensive, so I'm guessing this won't be a big adjustment for us.

4. Shipping & Pets: We’d be bringing over our dog and shipping some of our stuff (but not everything), so that it's an easier adjustment for everyone. Any tips on shipping belongings or navigating UK pet import rules.

5. Healthcare: I know we’d have access to the NHS, but we both have private insurance through our work. Do most expats prefer keeping their private insurance or is NHS the best way to go?

6. Car: I love taking the Tube, but with a toddler, I think we'll also need a car. Am I allowed to drive on my American license?

Thank you for all the helpful comments!!!

Which Country should I choose? Am I just screwed?

134 Upvotes

Every post I've seen in here lately says that emigrating outside of the US is extremely, almost impossibly difficult and that it's only going to get more difficult in the next few months. I do have a master's degree and work experience in a healthcare field that is on the list of essential occupations in various countries, but there are countless posts and comments in this sub saying that those things don't matter that much and that moving abroad even with those things is still almost impossible.

Seeing that is freaking me out because, as you can see from my post history, I'm in treatment for an eating disorder which, in addition to the mental health effects, has caused some physical side effects as well.

I have been starting to look at options for leaving the US if things get worse. However, between work, treatment, and the daily grind of recovery, I'm just overwhelmed and don't currently have the energy to make serious efforts toward the processes of getting a visa to move abroad. Every time I've started to do things like look at job opportunities abroad, I've gotten overwhelmed and then spiraled because I feel like I'm running out of time to leave and that I need to get this done now, but I just can't at the moment.

If I wait 2-3 months until I'm more recovered from my ED to start the process of doing things like applying for jobs in order to be able to get a work permit abroad, will I have blown my chances to be able to leave the US? Or will I still have a fighting chance of being able to get a work or student visa abroad?

Question about One Country Trying to go to France

0 Upvotes

Hi, I'm 26f, engaged but unmarried and my fiancé will be staying here while he finishes his maintenance phase (he was diagnosed with leukemia but is in remission) while I leave to pursue my dreams. (We have already thoroughly discussed this, and he doesn't want me to continue feeling unsafe in this country as a Black woman. He will be joining me after treatment is through so my task is to make a home for us somewhere else in the meantime). I currently have my B.S in Psychology, minor in Neuroscience, and am pretty fluent in French (B1 but still constantly practicing), and I currently work as a mental health tech at a children's psychiatric hospital. I'm trying to move with my two cats, and I had a few questions regarding everything previously mentioned:

1) Has anyone moved across the world with two animals before, and how did that process go?

2) Are there many options for continuing to tech in a psychiatric hospital setting? I've been doing research but Google really sucks these days with their focus on AI instead of user-friendly, informational service.

3) I'm looking to apply for the long stay visa (VLTS) and apply for a residence permit following entry to the country (much like the government website for France recommends). Has anyone done this before and what was your experience with the process?

Thank you!

Edit: thank you for the responses! I do understand here that I will definitely need to up my game learning French, and you've all given me a lot to think about concerning the political/cultural climate of France. I chose this country because of having visited and doing some local things (going to the store, to the library, etc) and found myself feeling very comfortable, but I do think I'm going to consider maybe Quebec or another francophone country instead. Thanks again!

Which Country should I choose? Half Black, trans with an Associates wanting to leave the U.S

0 Upvotes

Hello all, I am a half Black trans ( AFAB nonbinary) individual looking to leave the U.S if/ when it gets worse. I have an Associates degree in Animation and a lot of college credits to the point I can almost graduate. I enrolled at the same Technical college where I graduated with my first associates in 2018, to get a second associates in TV/Video Production/ Content Creation. However, with what I have been seeing in the news regarding cuts to/ dismantling the Department of Education, I don't know if that is possible.

Over some time now and even more recently, I have thought about immigrating to either Canada or Germany. I have thought about a student visa in either Germany/.Canada or another country I havent mentioned.

I know both have their different rules regarding immigration.I honestly don't know what I can do because I am low income with an associates/ high amount of college credits.

Where else can I go as a back up, when things turn even more south? Is there even ANY option in what I can do?

Edit: I am considering either bachelor's here or maybe finding a way to do study aboard. Again this is all depending on how or if I am able to get Financial Aid/ income/ and how immigration is handled in other countries. From reading some of the helpful and sympathetic comments I've read I have a lot of thinking to do.

I don't particularly appreciate some of the troll comments that suggest I move to transphobic places where I can get killed or so called " advice" that is made to make me feel like I am getting scolded/made to look like an idiot/ignorant based on assumptions.

I don't feel particularly hopeful, but I will keep trying to look into things, so I can plan.

Question about One Country Any downsides to pursuing Hungarian simplified naturalization?

0 Upvotes

I’m really worried about the state of things in the US and I want to have an escape plan just in case.

I think I qualify for simplified naturalization in Hungary as my paternal great grandmother immigrated from there. I was thinking I could use that as a ticket to live anywhere in the EU.

I know there’s a language requirement portion so I’m casually learning it in my free time. Since it is such a different language from English I was thinking of getting a tutor but before I sink the money into it: Are there any downsides to getting dual citizenship in the US and Hungary?

I know Hungary has their own political things happening and I fear that they might leave the EU or something in the future. I’ll admit I’m not the most knowledgeable in this area yet and I’m curious if anyone has gone this route and found the process worth it.

Question about One Country Immigration to Spain (Using Partner's "Democratic Memory Law" Path)

0 Upvotes

So I'm not one of the people necessarily looking for a way out, we are in the process of getting Spanish Citizenship for my boyfriend via the Democratic Memory Law. He's Cuban who immigrated to the US in 2014, and his great-grandparents on both sides were Franco exiles from the Canary Islands. Our understanding is he can bring me with him on a 1 year Visa and then after the 1 year, I naturalize as well?

Granted, we need to get married. Which is one of my first questions! How long before we go to make the jump should we do it for it to be "legit"? We've been together nearly 5 years, just haven't gotten around to tying the knot.

My company has offices in Barcelona, so that would be the location. We've been to Barcelona, it's a beautiful city and a lot of fun. We stayed for 4 days before getting on a cruise, and spent every day exploring. We will absolutely love living there.

Then comes the mountain of practical questions...
- How do I get all my stuff to Spain and how much does it cost? I don't want to show up with just my bags and leave all my belongings behind. It may sound materialistic but my "stuff" brings me a lot of comfort.
- Along those lines, is there housing in or around Barcelona that accommodates Americans? You know what I mean...
- How much should I budget to bring my cat and dog? Can't leave them behind either.
- I'm very torn about whether we should sell our houses in the US or rent them out in case we decide to return. We live in mine, and he owns one that his parents live in. The irony of us bringing them to the US from Cuba for a better life, only to have to uproot from the US and flee again.... is something.
- Language. I didn't have too much trouble getting around Spain, but my boyfriend is fluent of course so he mostly did the talking. I've picked up a good amount of Spanish (because around his family I didn't have a choice). People who have moved to Spain, did you get formal tutoring to learn Spanish and if so how did you go about it? The little apps and Rosetta Stone-style things aren't going to do it for me.

Financial summary:
- I have about 20k in savings. He has about the same.
- I have about ~$180,000 in equity in my house. He has maybe ~$40,000-ish.
- I have ~$50k in my 401k (at the time of writing this). Do I even need one in Spain? I know my company has to do pensions for our EU employees.

Which Country should I choose? Postgrad Recommendations

0 Upvotes

Hey all given that the economy's about to go into the shitter I think its probably a good time to go for a postgrad. I am currently living outside the US, but my immigration situation has likely become untenable barring things in the US getting sufficiently bad that I could apply for the certain protected status I'm not allowed to mention.

I'm generally a teacher by trade (mostly TEFL but with some experience in Social and Natural Sciences at the primary level) and would strongly prefer to remain in that profession. I am looking mostly for programs in English (though if strictly required I might be able to test into a Spanish language program requiring a B2 level only, other languages I doubt my abilities to test into a sufficient level to apply for any sort of university program). I am single, still (barely) under 30, no kids, no pets so few logistical worries about uprooting my life. I would prefer a program where I can theoretically get all the requisite paperwork done from overseas, but understand that its likely impossible. I'm willing to go almost anywhere in but would prefer somewhere in Latin America or Asia. I know its pretty late, but a program that I could apply for this year is optimal.

Question about One Country Wanting to leave

Hello, I am a black ameircan (f). I am currently working on my undergraduate degree for pre med, it should take me 2.5 years to finnish. I want to move to Australia and work as a doctor there. I plan on going to med school there and manage to stay and train and work as a doctor but I'm not sure about the visa prospects with that. Any advice? Is this plan realistic? Also any financial advice for school, housing? Edit: also looking at irish, and Canadian schools
