Bavaria question

[jonessoda]

So, according to Wikipedia, Freistaat Bayern/Bavaria has a law in which any of the following are citizens of Bavaria:

Anyone:
-born in Bavaria,
-born to a Bavarian parent,
-adopted by a Bavarian as a child,
-married to a Bavarian, or
-naturalized in Bavaria

My paternal grandmother was pure Bavarian, 100% master race. As in, my paternal grandfather met her when he (an American GI) was stationed somewhere around there (München/Munich, I think) in the occupation. So, since my father was born to a Bavarian parent, that would make him a Bavarian citizen, right?

And if he is, then since I was born to my father who is (at least as I follow) a Bavarian, that would likewise make me a Bavarian citizen, right?

Sure sounds like it. Why do you ask?

 

[jonessoda]

Really, just wondering, although maybe it'd mean I wouldn't need a visa to stay there...

 

[nakedfrog]

I'm not so sure about that, that's probably more like the equivalent of federal law versus state law.

 

[dabuddha]

Probably should call thier embassy to confirm. I doubt anyone here will know for sure.

My grandparents are from that region, spoke Swabish and Gothic German, and I'm 99% sure I would require a visa. I looked into it when I wanted to take some consulting opportunities.

You might be right though, and I would be quite pleased if that were the case. I would love to spend more time there.

In most cases I would tend to agree with you, but not with Bavaria. They practically consider themselves an independent country from the rest of Germany.

Yeah actually the barvarians are pretty far from master race - short brown hair stocky mud people - unlike us swedes.. j/k

Hey you ever been there? Not sure why you'd want to go.. High unemployment, very expensive and such..

If you never lived there, I'm sure you'd have to pay some back taxes or something if you wanted to claim that you've had citizenship this whole time.

Now, if you really wanted to "BE" a citizen, you'd probably have to apply for citizenship and show proof that your grandmother was a registered citizen....and that your father was....then it might make the paperwork flow a little easier.

If you're American, you can't have dual citizenship unless it's with France, I believe.

Dude, chill. It's a joke. No, I hate nazis. I know a couple neonazis that I've almost slapped the everloving s**t out of because of the garbage they spew. I'm (distantly) related to a few holocaust survivors.

I don't think that's correct.

Yea and I didn't see either of those. The entire post was pretty serious so I assumed he was serious.

Thats deffinitely not correct. I have dual citizenship and its not in france.

Most countries consider you an citizen if you are born in that country. The US considers you a citizen if one of your parents is a citizen regardless of where you are born. You can easily attain dual citizenship like this.

Well "technically" when you become naturalized you renounce any prior citizenships, so no naturalized US citizens can actually have dual citizenship.

In practice, though, it's not actually enforced. They don't drag you to your native country's embassy and have you formally renounce your citizenship and turn in your passport, so really it's easy to have dual citizenship.
