Citizenship by Naturalization is the process of a foreign national voluntarily acquiring citizenship through an application. To become a naturalized citizen, you must have lived in the nation legally for a long period and pass a citizenship test on foreign language, history, and political system issues. Some states need proof of lawful income as well as ownership or rental housing.
A foreigner who has lived in the country legally for a long time can become a citizen. You can, for example, enter Australia on a student visa and petition for citizenship after four years. What conditions must be met in order to become a naturalized citizen, and how to navigate the route of integration into a new society as easily as possible? Different countries have different requirements.
In this video, Andrew shares the rare European citizenship nobody understands.

Andrew, big fan here. Please drop the music in the background. When I find myself squinting my eyes to hear what you're saying, that means the background music is too loud. Please drop it so I can hear what you're saying. That's what I'm personally interested in. Just sharing my opinion. Cheers bud

[@marjoriehall9984]

The music was distracting...not needed with your excellent information.

[@deuxvlve746]

I see that even a lot of Austrians are annoyed by these rules, if Austrians want a change they should vote for Parties that are less restrictive regarding citizenships, I’ve done a quick research on the people who make decisions there and the majority votes ( 50%+) in the parlament goes to a party which is very restrictive and close minded regarding this issue

Hi Andrew. In what situations can descendants of people who left America and or Canada get citizenship rights? Case in point " Merikins" Black Americans who were given asylum in Canada and other countries. Can their descendants claim citizenship?

Since many people dislike the background music, perhaps this channel can just play the background music for the intro only?

It depends; anywhere from parents only to as far back as the country existed. Usually three is a good number, and some have opened up. You can email our team at [e-mail] if you have a specific case you need help with.

Does Croatia have a similar program?

[@peteredan7352]

If your Jewish parents or grandparents had to flee Austria when the Germans took over in the !930's you can now claim Austrian citizenship.

[@comeforaride]

Still available? But i think it prohibited dual citizenship, had jab requirements, and a certain income level. Even worse than Spain did. May want to wait for Spain to reinstate theirs. Would look into doing the investigation in Portugal to get the Jewish community certificate (CIL) then using it for Spain when it opens. 500 euros for the CIL + 200 for sisters and brother or cousins. Worth having and being one of the first in line to apply when it opens.

[@peteredan7352]

Doesn't prohibit dual citizenship and doesn't have residency or income requirements.

[@andrewort4537]

Good example of this is Denise Eisenber Rich who got Austrian citizenship (and resigned her American) through her late father who was born in Austria-Hungary.

[@carolinavarela1572]

@@comeforaride no holocaust descendents do not need to renounce citizenship they are allowed dual by austria. as far as portugal the path will close 31/12/2023 and will be open until then but requires inheritances in the country or frequent visitation during lifetime when those facts demostrate effective and long lasting link to portugal. Spain requires 2 year residency for sephardic jews. if it will be back without residency requirement no one knows.

[@comeforaride]

@@carolinavarela1572 Portugal now requires inherited property. So it's almost impossible. We did it under the old rules. Besides needing to learn Portuguese, it was the most favorable way to go, even compared to Spain.

I love Austria, too bad i don't have enough funds to invest that much.

[@comeforaride]

They used to (i have not looked in a couple years, still might) have a program if you were a descendent or descendent of a Jew (I think they were actually offering for both Sefardí and Ashkenazi). May want to look into that. If you can trace a Sefardí 500 years back, Spain is brining their citizenship program back. Portugal has, in effect, closed that by making the hoops to jump through quite high.

Not to be morbid, but this actually answers a question that was indexed in the back of my mind a few years ago. Long story short, when Epstein's residence on 71st Street was raided, they found an Austrian passport in a drawer. (Read More) Like most people, my initial thoughts were something super shady, but after watching this video, it may have just been a legitimate investment for something the Austrian government liked or wanted. I give it 50/50. 50% chance something more sinister may have been at play, or 50% chance it was legitimate and Austria's name just got tossed into an unpleasant bucket in regards to a legal document. Love your channel. I'm nowhere near wealthy enough to participate in these programs at the current time, but I love the information. Keep up the great work. I think even the everyday, "normal net worth" individual can greatly benefit from this information.

Hi Andrew How can one activate article 21-20? Please reply back. Thank you for your time.

[@Olivier-GM]

There is a mistake here. Article 21-20 just says a person from a french-speaking country is not obliged to learn French in order to apply for citizenship. If you don't speak French, you won't get the French citizenship (unless you were born on the French soil, or your parents are French). There is an exam to pass.
