Acquiring German Citizenship by Ovid
Hi there, I'm actually living in France and planning on getting French citizenship, but I've been doing some research into citizenship laws and I have a quick question about Germany's law here. Specifically, when one naturalizes as a German ...
Hi, I have friends who have USA/German citizenships. They were born in the USA but had German parents. It may be different if there is no 'blood' involved. The law probably changed recently because of the end of the compulsory military service in ... Read More
