I know that in Germany, if the UK leaves the EU then then any UK persons with dual nationality then have to choose as the UK would no longer be included in the EU but there might be new laws introduced, similar to those that they have for other countries not in the EU, to allow for this. Whether the UK would allow the person to keep their UK citizenship is another matter...
    That is German law, not EU law.

      Yes, but according to the Brexit camp the EU makes the laws
      Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

        Like when the Irish make their own tax rules and the EU Commission goes above them and fines companies even though the Irish were happy with what they had received? That seems a pretty good example.

        I hope to God you lot ALL get some other citizenship other than British and then you can all feck off to the EU and spend the rest of your lives wishing you could come back.

          While we spend the rest of our lives rather hoping you won't...

            The problem was not Irish tax rules - the problem was that Ireland made secret deals with big corp(s) to avoid paying even low Irish corp tax

              All EU citizenships apart form Ireland as far as I know require at least five years residency in that country. Seven for Germany, twelve for Switzerland tho technically not EU....
              Not just technically. And it's ten years for federal approval, with a number of years (which must be less than 10!) in one community (actual number depends on the community).

              This is a thread for discussing dual nationality. Not for you to continue to vent your hatred of anyone who thinks differently from you. You've already got your very own Brexit thread. I suggest you keep your comments there.

              Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!

                  With dual citizenship someone could return whenever they liked. Perhaps you didn't realise.

                    Just tried the test here: German A1 to C2 - How long does it to reach reach level B1 or B2

                    Got 30/60 and said I was probably at level B1. Yaay! Now all I need to do is move there for 7 years.
                    Will work inside IR35. Or for food.

                      It was the word "dual" that confused him. He thought it meant like Germans fighting with swords.
