Hi Nikita, I have been following you since 2018 and admirer of yours. As a teenage back then, I dreamt of going to abroad for education and stay. Destiny has its own plans and i have completed my education here only ( India ). Back then you inspired me with your decisions. I love love seeing you, hearing you and learning from you. I always wanted a big sister who'd guide me, and I somehow saw in you. I know you must feel weird with this.. but yes It's a truth how people connect with you that you don't know! I also married past 4 month and willing to achieve great things in life and better life.. Today felt to share this with you. You are a good human. Thank you for your efforts, calmed voice and being you. :)
Dear Bhakti, this means a lot. You're absolutely right, we can never imagine the ways different people can influence us in different ways. I'm glad I could be a positive influence and I am sure you will achieve bigger, better, and wonderful things in your life. So much more love, power, and strength to you 💜💪🏻
Great decision Nikita. I mean, If you have oci card then it's almost like dual citizenship minus voting rights and buying agricultural land otherwise there is no difference. Having German passport is any day better than having Indian passport. And we all know how we get sentimental about giving up Indian identity but sometimes we need to be rational. India reside among all of us it doesn't wherever we go. 🙏
By the way, correct me if I'm wrong, was dual citizenship even an option from the German side? I know the traffic light coalition is planning to reform citizenship laws and wants to make dual citizenship easier. But afaik, currently it is only possible for EU citizens and for citizens of countries where renouncing citizenship is not possible, like Turkey. Well, that also means that from now on, you could get a second EU citizenship, depending on the other country's laws. 😉
Germany normally does not allow you to acquire German citizenship and at the same time keep your previous citizenship. With one important exception: Citizens of member nations of the European Economic Area (that's the EU and Norway, Iceland, Liechtenstein) and also Swiss citizens. There may be other exceptions, but that's the most important one. Also, if you acquire both German citizenship and (for example) US citizenship at birth, usually because one of your parents is a foreign national, you normally can keep both.
Hello ma’am, I just thought you might have a answer to my question. Currently I’m in my 2nd year of masters here in Germany and want to pursue PhD. So, how should I go about my visa thing? My Aufentahltstitel is valid till the end of my degree. Which visa application I need to do ?
Albania? UK? 😉 Not really. One was never in the EU, and the other one is out, "taking control over their borders back", because they didn't like certain people... One important aspect I think worth mentioning is not the passport but simply citizenship of the country you live in. The right to be heard, the right to vote, even the right to represent. You could even become chancellor now. The passport aspect is nice, but these other aspects are at least as important imho. So, welcome to Germany, Nikita!
Yeah, the UK is out since a couple of years. That's precisely the reason that lots of Brits acquired the citizenship of a EU nation if and as long as they could. Many acquired Irish citizenship, which is apparently an option for many Brits because they have some Irish ancestors, but some also acquired Spanish, French, German citizenships. Not so much Dutch citizenship I heard because the Netherlands would have required them to give up their British citizenship in turn.
