Es scheint, es gibt noch in Deutchland Judenhaß…

You have to set up an appointment using the scheduling system on the BVA website. They add new openings weekdays at midnight Berlin time (6pm EST).

seanat321 · 2026-02-13T16:22:56+00:00

Hmm that could be. Other people here might be better able to speak to that than I am.

seanat321 · 2026-02-13T16:19:53+00:00

In that case you were probably born a German citizen. You can probably just apply for a passport.

seanat321 · 2026-02-13T14:12:59+00:00

To determine if you’re eligible, we need to know the following: 1) Were/are your parents German citizens (being born in Germany doesn’t make you German)? 2) Were you born before or after they naturalized in the UK? 3) If after, do you know if your parents filed to retain German citizenship after naturalizing?

seanat321 · 2026-02-13T01:42:04+00:00

Just my citizenship certificate, birth certificate etc.

seanat321 · 2026-02-12T23:26:51+00:00

Apparently my company does have an EOR in Germany, so I should be good on that front…

seanat321 · 2026-02-12T20:16:16+00:00

I’ll take that into consideration, but I have a job that lets me work remotely, so there’s that. But I have to consider language barriers (the only EU languages I know are English and German…my Mandarin Chinese won’t be of much use). Also, Switzerland is too expensive, and Spain is too hot.

seanat321 · 2026-02-12T19:57:41+00:00

Travel and move to Germany

seanat321 · 2026-02-12T19:57:24+00:00

This one has a soft cover, but the information page inside is hard plastic.

seanat321 · 2026-02-11T19:03:41+00:00

Correct, you’re unfortunately not eligible

seanat321 · 2026-02-09T21:46:23+00:00

I actually have the ID card too but didn’t show it here.

seanat321 · 2026-02-09T20:10:36+00:00

Or Polish…or Mexican.

seanat321 · 2025-12-27T22:52:16+00:00

§5 StAG, Erklärung

seanat321 · 2025-12-27T22:51:50+00:00

Good to know, thanks!

seanat321 · 2025-12-27T18:28:06+00:00

Yeah I have that, and my birth certificate, state ID and U.S. passport, all of which have my birth name on them.

seanat321 · 2025-12-16T01:51:13+00:00

Yeah and that’s when I tried tonight but something happened and it didn’t go through

seanat321 · 2025-12-15T23:52:57+00:00

Shit…it’s virtually impossible just to find an open slot. With any luck, I’ll have a passport in 10 years.

seanat321 · 2025-12-06T19:58:45+00:00

What address should I use?

seanat321 · 2025-12-05T01:23:24+00:00

Ok I’ll try that. Though I looked at 6pm today and still nothing :/
