40% Americans Eligible for EU Citizenship

40% Americans Eligible for EU Citizenship

Americans are seeking EU citizenship in greater numbers than ever before, Bloomberg revealed on Wednesday, citing government statistics and independent citizenship consultancies. According to citizenship firm Arton Capital, four times as many Americans are seeking second citizenships in 2022 than in 2020 – a number that doesn’t include those applying for third or fourth country passports.

Hey, I have a question. First of all, you don't have to answer, I get it if it's too personal, I'm only asking this based on your bio—but what does it mean for you to be Serbian(American)? I assume you were born in the US. Have you ever been to Serbia? Have you been taught the language, the customs at all? (I cannot emphasize enough, I really am curious because—for me—people in the US have such an interesting perspective on nationality, which is completely the opposite of the 'progressive' view in Europe. So you're not obligated to share and I don't mean to imply that you're less Serbian if you've never set foot in Serbia or something) also this is like a follow up question but are you/your family Orthodox Christians? (Also ignore pls if you don't want to disclose that)

You assume wrong, I was born in Serbia.

We are very culturally Serbian, but it's impossible to escape the American culture we grew up in. American culture will bleach you of your own roots if you do not cling to them.

#Phoenix answers asks #also we're fluent in Serbian. accented! but fluent #i have a Serbian passport and ID as a backup #(spent 4mos taking care of my grandmother and didn't want to get deported as an American who'd stayed more than 90 days) #we went to a Serbian orthodox church when we could but there wasn't one in CO and the one in NYC burned down a few years ago

i highly recommend everyone get a passport, if you don't have one: they last ten years, it's expensive and not immediate if you have an emergency, and you never know what can happen

#the statistics on americans without passports always shock me

i’ve just finished season one of TMA, and being someone who’s okay with spoilers is fun because it means i can peruse the wiki and scroll through the tag and i get to become privy to all sorts of weird, wonderful, halfway-out-of-context information that i get to look forward to understanding in the future

like. what do you mean Leitner’s in the tunnels?

what do you mean Jon eats the extinguished sun??

what do you mean it’s spelled Gerard Keay???

#Jon‚ narrating a statement: '…whose passport had identified him as Gerard Keay.' #Me‚ an American‚ not yet in the habit of following along with the transcripts: 'Ah‚ yes. Jared Key.' #tma spoilers #the magnus archives #gerry keay #gerard keay #tma #i’m sorry but Why do british ppl apparently pronounce Gerard like that how do y’all audibly tell Gerard and Jared apart #anyways based on how i’ve glossed over the other two arguably much more shocking revelations i mentioned #i’m sure you can tell that i’ve latched onto Gerry and everything else is just background noise to me #okay that’s an exaggeration. i Do love the entire show and am invested in the entire cast to varying degrees but. #Gerry… my beloved… his role in Ep. 12 hooked me instantly #it’s bad‚ guys. ive already started making him a playlist. it’s safe to say there’s no hope for me. the fixation train has left the station #Gerry (and Michael) have moved in and will live rent free in my brain indefinitely #listen. you can’t just present to me a cryptic goth man with long poorly dyed black hair and mommy issues who’s covered in eye tattoos- #-and is frequently affiliated with the supernatural and then expect me to Not fall in love with him!!! #*looks at DoorKeay* …and i am also not immune to the opposites attract & human x supernatural entity tropes… #tbh looking at all this DoorKeay fan art has me suddenly remembering my EraserMic days #which is a wild thing to say i know but listen. it’s just the whole long-black-hair x long-blonde-hair similarity #and maybe a bit of the opposite personalities. idk why but i was just admiring one particular DoorKeay fanart and it suddenly hit me #i literally whispered to myself out loud ‘holy shit it’s EraserMic again…’ and it's not Really but also it kinda is and i think it's funny #but then i did More thinking and i think it goes beyond just them. i think i rlly just have a thing for Dark & Light coded character ships #Michael & Gerry… Navia & Chlorinde... Sun & Moon… Mic & Aizawa… #i think i’m learning smthn abt myself now i’ve gotta think if there’s more examples… #i'd almost say Alphonse and Seth but eeehhh not quite. and honestly i think the bigger-brain way to see their relationship through the- #-Dark x Light trope would be to take into account the resurgence of DM!Al and that kinds flips the dynamic #i think that if either of them are Moon-coded it'd be DM!Al. but they honestly just don't quite fit in that trope's box anyways #they're Pink/Black x Brown coded. not Yellow x Black #i do gotta say that i've pulled an Interesting number of songs off Seth's playlist while working on Gerry's... it's the mommy issues innit #i'd almost say PB x Marcy but once again we've got a character that's pink-coded‚ not yellow. i think they fall into a different category

I think vacation agencies should also help you bully your employer into giving you reasonable vacation time

#not to be american but i hate it here #one week; MAYBE a week and a half per year if you take it all together (and are allowed to do so) is not sufficient! #i don't generally consider myself a restless person (the blog title is a song lyric not a modus operandi) #but boy i sure wish i had more flexibility. in everything‚ really #give me agency or give me death. etc. i can theoretically go so many places with a u.s. passport And Yet. #even just seeing other parts of the us would be pretty neat but that's hard to do if i only ever have 2-3 days at my disposal #(will i ever stop making the same complaint about travel on here? no.)

I have family in both the west bank and the "suburbs" of jerusalem bc the fucking apartheid wall quite literally split the village in half 😭😭😭😭

#so im very aware of the status and always felt guilty leaving the village in the west bank to the quds and yaffa bc my cousins #had west bank ids and couldnt go without a permit #even though they have american passports they cant just go #which is why my parents decided against getting me and my siblings PA passports

as someone who could theoretically be called a “third culture kid” its so funny to me how fake and gay of a concept it is and how hard white expat communities go for it. aww boohoo u feel like u have no “real home” meanwhile u have three passports. going to international school and having a unit on Globalism and they were like Globalism is the ideology of the future… lets be globalists together…. imagine theres no countries its easy if u try. Lets learn about the WORLD BANK! And not about local history & politics whoooo cares.. btw You’re going to save the world by being white children who do not even speak the native language of the place u live in. Lets not dwell on that in terms of geopolitics though.. peace and love is all that matters.. and just remember YOU are a THIRD CULTURE KID so you are BASICALLY DIVERSE! GLOBAL CITIZEN!

#and then i found out. Normal people do not learn about globalism this way #in hindsight. Rly funny experience to have had. #* i dont have 3 passports. just an example #theres books about this phenomenon. and theyre all like AMY grew up in SINGAPORE but shes AMERICAN so she FEELS WEIRD ABOUT IT #Like ok

I have landed in Quebec! I still have a connecting flight but I made it through customs. Was questioned on why I was gonna be here for 91 days. I said I'm a digital nomad. Agent stares at me, clearly unaware what that means, and I stare back, with no clue how to say it in French. Was wishing I brought my Canadian citizenship papers. Then she just let me in. Not going to question that.

#im pretty sure americans are allowed here indefinitely anyway? #i need a Canadian passport #that's going on my to-do list when i get back to english speaking canada

There is a tattoo artist I desperately want to get tattooed by but the problem is that they are located in Leeds, UK. My Chem shows couldn't make me come to the UK, but could a tattoo artist?

#personal #My finger is always poised on the metaphorical trigger to email them but if I email them I have to commit to it. #I even impulsively told my aunt I want an airline gift card this morning when she asked what I wanted for Christmas. #This motherfucker (me) doesn't even have a passport... #There are SOO many good UK tattoo artists actually. This is one instance where it sucks to be an American. #But y'all... Should I do it?

the thing about presenting at apa is that I'm antipsych and skeptical of everyone there but also it's in seattle this year and I've never been and I have so much pto.

#human crap sack tire fire #depending on other people I am doing a pre conference talk and symposium or just a symposium #if the gender clinic goes to portugal for wpath I'm going with them too #that would just be to attend though #that's in september #gotta update my passport #also for clarity I am talking about American psychological assoc #not psychiatric #but same hat and all

while it’s been really nice to be able to help so many women (and myself) through radical feminism, there are a ton of women whose stories i know who i will never meet and sometimes it really does weigh on me

#like i was waiting for my dinner to heat up and randomly staring off into space #and i remembered this one woman who was an american on vacation in turkey. she was raped there and i helped her find help #she was quite literally kidnapped for 12 hours and raped and i helped her. she came off anon and literally i convinced myself it wasn’t real #but when i looked back in her archive she had made posts MONTHS prior about getting her passport renewed and preparing for the trip bla bla #like this woman really was stranded in turkey. really was abused. and came to ME for help? #i was literally 19-20 at the time. i was like just some random woman on the internet #and that’s only 1 wpman. 1. i used to get asks for advice on shit like that by the DOZEN every few hours #i used to answer dozens and dozens and dozens of asks helping women find this and do that and answer whatever i could #and sometimes i feel the weight of that still resting on me #like i never forgot any of them. i know anonymous stories of heartbreak and pain from other women #on top of my OWN unbearable pain #and sometimes it all hits me and i realize JUST how much of myself i have put into all of it #sometimes to my own detriment

nobody who has responded to my post is anyone who I am talking about. But it is good to remind people to be aware of the language and rhetoric being used.

#Don’t forget that plenty of Israelis within Israel are against the occupation and colonialism and genocide #just as Americans and Canadians are against the ongoing genocide of first nations communities #Don’t forget just because you have a second passport doesn’t mean you are able to leave #Do not forget that the Jewish people and the Palestinian people we’re neighbors and lived in Palestine together for hundreds of years #We are the same people!! we have always been the same people

why is applying for any official government ID so fucking confusing

#I am a born and raised American just trying to get a passport #but my previous passport was issued DAYS before I turned 16 #and I still have it #so now I’m going in circles as to whether I say I had one or I start fresh #and don’t get me started on all the other necessary documents to prove I am who I am #AND the confusing wording on every page #MelloMoans
