I just received my Belgian passport in the mail after completing an application process. Turns out I've always been a Belgian citizen from my mother's side, but had never taken advantage of that fact until now.

Now I can go around Europe and live and work in most of the European Union with relatively little trouble.

Is there anyone else here who has dual citizenship? If so, with which nations?

I tried. But America doesn't recognize my birth country for dual status

I'm both a citizen of the lovely country of Germany and the magnificent land of Germany.

What filthy peasant-lands are you an immigrant from again, Rob?

Huh. Well done.

Yeah, I'm pretty damn awesome. You'd never know it due to my modesty

No, not a dual citizen.
Only recently got a passport, after retiring from the Army. I doubt i'll ever use it, but figured its good to have.

Royal citizen ha-som

They asked me in my passport form if I had a noble title, and I almost put down 'Duc de Miami'

That's pretty dang cool. I have a Belgian friend from an online game I used to play. I have been meaning to visit him...but I never make the time or money.



Do you plan to live and work there?

Not in the near future, but I have a lot of family in Belgium from my mom's side.

Long term, I might want to try teaching English in Belgium or Germany, and having an EU passport will make that much, much easier.

I'm illegal alien, my planet blew up and I'm just chilling out here until some things are taken care of.

That sounds like a good option in the case of serious legal proceedings.

I was born in the US. Both of my parents are Filipinos.

So how'd you get your Belgian citizenship? Were you born in Belgium, or is it automatically attained if one of your parents is Belgian?

Yeah, how's that work?

Some countries grant you citizenship if one (usually mother) of your parents was born there. You just have to file the paperwork and pay any fees.

Well thats pretty neat.
I've known a few people who arent technically US citizens because one of their parents was in the Army, they were stationed outside the US and born in a civillian hospital, not on post.

As long as one parent is in the military, they should still be citizens, because my older brother was in that situation, born while my parents were stationed in Heraklion by Athens in a civilian hospital, so he was American, Belgian, and Greek (triple citizenship). I think he renounced the other two when he joined the air force.

Whoa! Triple citizenship. That's cool.

The only celebrity I know who has one is Joakim Noah (American, Swedish, French).

Triple citizenship, huh? I stand corrected. Thats pretty damn cool!
