Toycats, interesting video. I'm from Ballymena, County Antrim and most of my life have held a British passport. Last year i booked a trip to Russia but as a British citizen i was required to travel to the Russian consulate to have biometric finger prints taken. Problem for me was that this can only be done in Manchester, Edinburgh or London. Quite a costly trip from County Antrim to the British mainland. Solution was to apply for an irish passport as i was born on the island of Ireland and therefore do not need biometric prints taken now. Of course my Mum who is a diehard Unionist would scorn at the idea of me having an irish passport. Aww well its our secret lol.

I've often wondered what the theoretical maximum amount of citizenships you can have is. Like you start with all the countries and that allow dual-citizenship, and then you combine multiple generations + birth locations to see how best you can combine them. It would be a tricky thing to work out because you'd have to consider all the differing rules between countries - for example if you can't inherit British Citizenship from a grandparent the way you're planning to do with Irish Citizenship. Some countries like the US give you citizenship for being born there, some like UK don't (unless the parents were legally resident). etc etc

[@ibx2cat]

I've always wondered this too, but I imagine some countries have an unwritten rule once you go above x number of passports, lol

There's nothing "quirky" about Northern Irish people applying for citizenship in the Republic of Ireland. This has been allowed since the settlement following the Irish Civil War in 1922. Northerners have had the right to become Irish citizens for almost 100 years. The cutoff for claiming Irish citizenship through an Irish-born ancestor is your grandparents. Contrary to what the vlogger says above, it is not really possible to get Irish citizenship because you had a great-grandparent born in Ireland. The ONLY exception is, in addition to having a great-grandparent born in Ireland, that one of your parents was a bona fide citizen of Ireland on the date of your birth. That's the only way the great-grandparent thing has any value. I became an Irish citizen 20 years ago based on my grandmother's birth in Ireland. It took me a few months to get all the documentation together. After sending the application form and paperwork and fee in, I waited about 18 months for my citizenship. Once I had that, it took me 6 weeks to get my passport.

Do not just get random second citizenship, because it can lead to consequences. For example people leaving USA to live somewhere else, still have to pay US taxes, and until they are able to renounce their US citizenship, they are double-taxed. This is also a huge issue for those parents who decided to just give a US citizenship to their child, even though none of them are US citizens, since anyone born on US-soil becomes US citizen automatically. When these children earn an income, they will be double-taxed.

What can I say, I enjoy the German passport power. Vacationing is realy important. Sri Lanka is also a weird mix of fascist and democratic and out right corrupt. Sri lankan (dual)citizenship is a double edged sword, as it's a corrupt and racist country you might get into trouble with the authorities on that basis and with a Sri Lankan passport you are excluded from getting help by your embassy. The upside of haveing a Sri Lankan Passport would be that you could actually buy and inherit and own property (land) in Sri Lanka. Also Sri Lanka is one of those countries where many services openly advertise different prices for foreigners or a locals ! That is no joke. From my expirience the "foreigner" label doesn't realy mean citizenship, but if you look like a local. (Did I mention that Sri Lanka is pretty racist and by racist I mean openly racist ?). For example: My Son is a dual citizen Sri Lanka and Germany, but he only speaks German, English and French and we had no Sri Lankan passport at hand to proof it, so he had to pay the Foreigner price. My Daughter is dual citizen of Germany and Portugal, but she speaks a language of Sri Lankans , she had to pay the local price despite beeing a foreigner. My wife is only a German citizen born in Sri Lanka and of a Sri Lankan "race", so dispite lacking Sri Lankan citizen ship, she also didn't need to pay the surcharge that foreigners payed. I'm a German and Portuguese dual citizen, looking like a foreigner I had to pay the price for foreigners.... So a Sir Lankan citizen ship might have advantages, but you will also be out of consulatory aid from UK or Ireland should you get cought up in the games of the corrput local authorities. And looked into the barrels of several MP5 when I vaccationed in Sri Lanka. The place is not nice where the army rules everything. Also you don't have to register yourself at the local police office if you want to live in Germany! We are not China. If you move as a new main and permanent resident into a city in Germany you have to register at the city(Einwohnermeldeamt) and that city deregisters you at your old city. It has financial and tax implications for the city and for you. Additionally you will have to get your personal ID and your passport updated when you move city. If you are a foreigner you might have to do that at your embassy.

[@dooey5686]

My dad (who is from Antrim as well) applied for British citizenship because it was easier to get lol

[@tadhgallen1464]

Yay! I'm Irish and Toycat has a connection with me!

[@LuisGarcia-tb9po]

I’m American with an American passport but I am eligible for Mexican citizenship and thus a passport so if I marry and have a child (birthed in the US) with someone from Ireland, that child could get American, Mexican, Irish, and EU citizenship. If the girl is from Northern Ireland the child could also get British citizenship

**Laughs in dual citizenship with potentially another one in the near future **

[@wosamosman9814]

I can attest to that since I migrated from a terrible passport country ( bottom 10 ) to a top 10 passport country. The difference is absolutely night and day like there's no way I could've been a digital nomad with my previous passport 😂😅.

@ibx2cat - I'm pretty sure Russian e-Visa is only for 2 places: Vladivostok and st Petersburg. Other places in Russia still need a full visa that you need to go to the embassy for.

[@moskvi4]

Nope. Its for entire country. In 2020 it was only for Vladivostok, Kaliningrad and St Pete

[@aaaaaa7955]

Not to be that guy but 6:30 not Kyrgyzstan, but Tajikistan and 11:15 that's suriname

[@Timm_GooglePlus]

Toycat will become irish-english, probably the most cursed dual citizenship

[@ibx2cat]

I really want to bomb and/or shoot myself now for some reason...

[@bryanbradley6871]

My grandpa was born in Russia (USSR at the time), does that mean I can get a Russian passport even though he was (R.I.P) technically American citizen for 60+ years?

[@MrSharkFIN]

I'm from Finland and didn't know our passport was that good :D

[@robertvoss9111]

The e visa are only for three areas; Kaliningrad, st Petersburg and Vladivostok. For the rest of Russia you still need a traditional Visa!

[@ZeChainwarden]

I am german and my mother is austrian. I thought about getting the austrian citizenship aswell, but then I found out that it grants literally no advantages :'D

[@dr.winner2516]

If you are a male, having Austrian citizenship gives you an offer that you cannot refuse, an offer to serve in their military, and by cannot refuse, I meant that it is illegal to refuse
