Would you change your citizenship if you were given a chance to? If so, where and why?

I am an American citizen by birth and I do not want to give that up. However, I'd ADD a citizenship. Canada. 29 years ago, I was involved with a Canadian woman. It was clear it wasn't going to work out, but, had I married her, I might have moved to Canada and became a Canadian citizen. I'd also add Danish citizenship since I am descended from Danes and still have family there in the Nordic nations. However, Denmark does not accept dual citizenship; to become a Danish citizen, you must renounce any other citizenships. I won't renounce my American citizenship, so that's out.

[andreasderjuengere]

My ''citizenship'' does not define who I am.

I struggle with the word ''chance''...

''My'' passport country will claim me as a tax slave once I retire. For now I'm ''out''.

''My'' hosting country attempts to exploit my 'status' for similar reasons.

If I'd ever change, then towards the lesser evil.

One relative advantage of the present 'nationality' is, that I am counted to one of the more stable countries, which makes travelling easier (visa, i. e.) - but then... I'm done with travelling.

For now I'll leave it as it is. ... I am unwilling to even travel to some embassy to get things under way.

I would add a citizenship to Poland. Have two. Where my parents come from. They uphold their traditions in a beautiful fashion and they strongly hold their values and everyone comes together in unison when it comes to celebrations like a large family. The crime rate is super super low and everyone is very friendly there and I feel like home being there. Everyone is always outside and socializing instead of being upheld day in and day out in their houses not even knowing their neighbors like here in the USA.

I'm currently the citizen of two countries plus the EU and soon to be a US citizen. The US passport is probably the most powerful in the world especially if you get into any kind of trouble abroad.

Take the poor German woman raped, murdered and dragged through the streets by HAMAS.

[itsannalee]

The most powerful passport is Singapore and Japan. US is far below that both passports.

[Gwendoline]

If you got into trouble abroad which country is coming to get you? Japan? Singapore?

[goaded]

You think the US government would care about you, an immigrant? Do you think Hamas checked everybody's passport before they attacked them in Israel?

[Gwendoline]

@goaded I think if HAMAS dragged the naked body of a us woman they had gang raped and murdered there would be consequences. The British government has a history of sending in the sas/sbs to save hostages.

[goaded]

Again, you think Americans would care about an immigrant? Especially this administration.

If you're dead, you're past saving, anyway. An American passport wouldn't have saved you.

[Gwendoline]

@goaded that's the point an American passport has saved many people. You think the navy seals are coming to save a German or the us airforce is sending planes to evacuate Japanese citizens from a military coup and civil war in Egypt?

[NathanDavis]

no... neither the USA or Mexico require you to give up your nationality, or citizenship as you call it

in theory... I could even acquire a third one if for example, a future wife of mine wanted me to move to her country of origin

I would become Irish in a heartbeat... I know that

[MuddyMole]

Canada. I've lived and worked there before, just on temporary visas, but the dream is to emigrate there permanently (probably not going to happen though, as I don't have the right kind of work experience, and my age is starting to count against me now too).

[loveslongnails]

I wouldn't change it at this point, but I'd get dual citizenship in a country that allows it... a country that doesn't deport its own citizens illegally because they're non-white, or they LEGALLY speak out against their own government in the name of justice.

[Lynx122]

I'd add a dutch passport to my other passports because my grandma was from the netherland but I never got citizenship cause I already have Canadian and Swiss but I'm generally happy with how things are. :)

[Shiprex]

I have twice and this one is the least good of the 3 BUT it lets me work in many OTHER places neither of the other 2 could SO here we are about to put it into practice in August where I move to a warmer sunnier place for a while at least

[_Lynx]

As an Australian citizen I might seek Turkish citizenship.

I love being an Australian, but just answering your question.

[MemeSupreme]

oh so we're pretending like i got the money to move somewhere else lol

[itsannalee]

Some people get the money more or live better and easier coz get another citizenship, if you are not. Maybe It’s just you aren’t qualified yet.

[DryGermanGuy]

No. The German passport is the most powerful in the world and by EU law I have work and residency rights in 30 different countries.

[ohsheeT]

Maybe I mean if I could get food have a fast badass ride and a 2 wheel badass ride could I get a tiny house in space

[AviatorTom]

I wouldn't mind a second or third citizenship, maybe Australian or Canadian, but I'll keep my US citizenship, thank you.

[David318578]

Nope I'm an American, even the Americans who hate America refuse to leave so that should tell you everything you need to know

[itsannalee]

Since America is a continent, so everyone who comes from the American continent can be called an American right?

[David318578]

I suppose you could make that argument, but normally an American is referring to the US

[itsannalee]

Lol why argument? Why being so salty over a simple question? I think you are kinda too old for that shit.

[David318578]

"you could make that argument" is just an expression of acknowledgement of your point being a reasonable stance to take..

I'm not salty at all, you are misreading the interaction.

I am American born and proud of it.

[DJB72]

No. I can't stand the current weasel running Britain but I'll always be an Englishman.

[Alex-Snow]

Right now I am embarrassed to be an American with the idiot who is in the White House.

[DrPepper12]

I qualify for Irish, Italian & Israeli citizenship so that's what I explored

[Ad_Quid_Orator]

My partner (from Iran) and I (from the US) are hoping to become Australian citizens.

[Fireguy17]

nope, I'm fine where I am.

[MrChinaski]

No. Australia is just about perfect.

[exitseven]

nope. I am Born in the USA

[WonderingManII]

No I wouldn't.

[Kelly6]

@itsannalee No, never

[Kelly6]

@itsannalee
I'm happy I don't have US passport

[Staximus]

No, definitely not

[Iron_Man]

No way never 🇺🇸

[TonyMetal___86]

Nope, i love my country but hate it's rulers!

[RedInnocent69]

I’d add, but not take away. Maybe an EU country

[Jerre]

No I would not. I am a proud American.

[CubaPirate]

The hell nooooo

[contentious]
