I just filled out the application for getting a new passport cos my last one was done in '93 :|
but since then i've realised i may be eligible for a dual passport as my grandpa was born in wales. and wondered where i put that he was born there.. i couldnt find anything about a dual passport?

thanks

As of late i have also become dual passported. With iraqi/australian passports in my grubby hands i very much look forward to world domination.

p.s - Look up the immigration website.

Yeah i have dual passport, Australian and British.

Look up the passport section on the countries immigration website, all of the information and application forms will be there, if you still cant find it there will be contact numbers for their embasy.

Wales is part of the UK so its probably the same, you can only get a passport if your Father was born here, for grand parents i think its a ancestory working visa of 4 years.

yeah, but wales isnt part of britian... but they may have similar laws.

Woman: Oh. How do you do?
King Arthur: How do you do, good lady? I am Arthur, King of the Britons. Whose castle is that?
Woman: King of the who?
King Arthur: King of the Britons.
Woman: Who are the Britons?
King Arthur: Well, we all are. We are all Britons. And I am your king.
Woman: I didn't know we had a king. I thought we were an autonomous collective.
Dennis: You'rw foolin' yourself! We're living in a dictatorship. A self-perpetuating autocracy in which the working class...
Woman: Oh, there you go bringing class into it again.
Dennis: Well, that's what it's all about! If only people would...
King Arthur: Please, please, good people, I am in haste. Who lives in that castle?
Woman: No one lives there.
King Arthur: Then who is your lord?
Woman: We don't have a lord.
Dennis: I told you, we're an anarco-sydicalist commune. We take it in turns to be a sort of executive officer for the week...
King Arthur: Yes...
Dennis: ...but all the decisions of that officer have to be ratified at a special bi-weekly meeting...
King Arthur: Yes I see...
Dennis: ...by a simple majority in the case of purely internal affairs...
King Arthur: Be quiet!
Dennis: ...but by a two thirds majority in the case of...
King Arthur: Be quiet! I order you to be quiet!
Woman: Order, eh? Who does he think he is?

Thanks Pauline.

i think we should give kathleen another 3k to raise more white trash

Considering the uproar from getting all those dual citizen lebanses out of lebanon - It is clear I am not the only one who thinks this way and it has nothing to do with being white trash

what uproar about lebonese dual citizens? I must hang around with the wrong (right?) crowd ... I haven't heard such a thing. Maybe I need to start watching ACA and hanging out down at the Goodna RSL.

You spelt Lebanese wrong but spelt white trash right. I think i know what side you belong to.

ONWARD CHRISTIAN SOLDIERS

btw, why would you want dual passport anyway? especially wales (i can kinda undertsnad us)

i <3 my dual citizenship cause it means i can waltz in and out of the states without going through the horrible customs over there. plus i can pack up and go live there whenever i feel like it instead of trying to get green cards etc. but i always use my aus passport everywhere else cause the world hates the US.

oh and go f*** yourself kat, that's a f***ing retarded statement.

It's not about "making up your mind" you clueless noob Kat. It's an inheritance for most people and a welcomed one at that.

Iranian? with a nick of Captain America?

Please explain.

I have UK and AU passports. Pretty cool, it's an asset that comes in handy sometimes. I think that the people who get angry about people with dual citizenship are just jealous.

i just think it would come in handy if i decide to move there.

Iranian? with a nick of Captain America?

Please explain.

yes.
plz change to captain arabia post haste infidel

In about 3 weeks i will have my Swedish passport and be dual Ausie/Swede.
It had nothing to do about "making up my mind" it has to do about simply being a born australian who, now due to circumstances, is choosing to live permanently in another country. Now that i live here i wish to take part in what makes the country tick (elections), to do that i have to become a citizen.
I am still and wil lalways be an Australian but i don't agree with having to give that up simply because i have a second country to be proud of.

anyone got info on duel citizenship?
Can you apply from AU to another country.

azn pride

yeah you can apply, most countries would require you to have been living there for a bit or something first though. i got mine by being born in the states so automatically a US citizen, and claiming aus citizenship via descent cause both my parents are australian.

Can you apply from AU to another country.

You cant just spin a wheel and go "hrmm, ok, ill become a dual citizen of that country." You have to have SOME connection to it.

Man people are stupid here

lol astroboy didnt you know you can buy them on ebay

I am unsure about other countries, but would assume something similar.
I had to live in Sweden 3 years and be married for at least 2 years.
1st year temp residence
2nd year permanent residence
3rd year citizenship
The funny thing was that i was suppsoed to have had to live here 2 years with temp residence and then go on from that to take the total to 4 years to get a passport, but when i went in to get my 2nd temp year, they just gave me permanent. Their reasoning, and i quote "You come from a first world country, have a job and education so it is usual to give your type of applicants early residence" By that they mean that because i am not from one of the eastern countries or middle eastern i am "MORE" accepted.

no, it means you are educated, have a job and know how to behave in a civilised society and they wouldn't have too many security worries about you. oh wait you just said that. i don't see why that's funny. it's perfectly logical to me =/

The funny/strange thing was that they have a set of rules which they are allowed to break if they see fit. The official rules to keep the riff-raff at bay while still allowing them to let the people they prefer in.
Even though it worked in my favour i still find it slighty wrong.

Applying for citizenship to a country I was born in. Why the f*** would you randomly just pick a country and go "hrmmm I'd like to be a citizen there". Having never spent much time or have any connection to that country in the first place.
You f***en retard.

I was refering to "Can you apply from AU to another country." Of course you can hence the whole reason of this thread. But you clearly need SOME connection to that country, ie, lived there, relies there, etc. So if you havent worked/lived/had relies in "another country" then....good luck

Dual citizenship should be scratched.

*raised eyebrow* WTF why? I've been toying with the idea of getting dual (my dad is American — and now lives there permanantly) for gazonkers, but haven't known the process involved etc. Dual AUS/US or dul AUS/UK would be really useful — particularly if someone young and free and looking to kick it in another country wanted to up and go... no messing with working visas etc.

And regardless of dual citizenship or not, if a country you're a citizen of thinks you're a no-good bastard they're going to make life difficult anyway.

No problem sighted.

It is a great thing to have a Aus/EU passport, so many countries are easily open to you with EU access.
