Looking for a woman
as i'm sure you're aware the whole thing with the united states economy is pretty wild right now and it seems like no one really knows how everything will turn out. i've thought about trying to get dual citizenship with ireland in order to have more options financially. based on my ancestry, i should be eligible to get it. does anyone here have dual citizenship? would i be able to travel to other countries in the european union? any thoughts or advice would be appreciated.
 
I have dual citizenship, but I don't know a whole lot about it. My Mother was born and raised in Italy, and apparently she's kept up the paperwork to make sure my brother and myself still have citizenship.

Not to start a political discussion, but if the next election doesn't go the way I think it should, I'll seriously consider moving to Europe and calling it quits on the U.S.

I'll try and get more info from her the next time I talk to her (could be a couple weeks).

Ha ha, you think politics here are bad, just WAIT till you get to Italy :)
 
Don't know if it's changed, but some years ago, the US didn't recognize dual citizenship.
However, the UK did, so my wife (English) was able to become a US Citizen and keep her status as a British subject (she promised her dad before he passed away that she would always keep her British passport). She was told by the British embassy that you have to actually renounce your citizenship "before a representative of the Crown" to lose it.
And...she could go to places with her British passport that I couldn't with my American passport!

Your best bet is to check with the Irish embassy regarding their specific residency requirements, etc.
Hope this helps.

Ireland/Canada dual citizenship here.
Both my parents were born and raised in Ireland. Came over to Canada later on in life to raise a family.

I was thinking the other day how many of my friends are from Irish heritage and it ended being like 95%, I just kinda found that interesting at first, cos we obvioulsy all don't think of ourselves as Irish, yet like 95% of my friends have that heritage. I guess that comes with being from the East Coast. Also, we all like beer and potatoes.
 
I know alot of people that hold dual citizenships (USA/Israel, US/Jordan, US/Egypt, pretty much every country in the Middle East). Its not a problem at all. Though I find that, other than trying to travel to Cuba and Iran, the US passport opens up more doors for you in other countries.

The only benefit of the dual citizenship would be when you are actually in the other country that you claim citizenship. When I travel with friends to Israel I am the one that gets hassled and stopped in the airport and they don't all because they flash their Israeli passports and I only have a US one.
 
It is EXTREMELY hard to get citizenship in Ireland (we could learn a few things from them) I know because I looked into it not too long ago. I have oft wanted to get duel citizenship between here and the EU and then I decided "why?" I have everything I could ever want/need right here. Oh, and just because our economy is failing does not mean our entire country is going to spontaneously combust. You'll be just fine, buddy...
