"Priest kicked me out of Mass because of Obama signs"

I am ashamed that you are ashamed of me. I shall spank your Swedish ass later.

 

my wife is under the impression she couldn't do it and frankly, i've never looked into it. i will now...

It doesn't sound like Austria is too keen on the idea but there is a way to apply for an exception prior.

 

You can, and the previous poster's concerns regarding renewal are also not true - you can continue to renew your other passport.

 

Sorry I did not care enough to go look at the thread.

The point was that he decided to tell me how much better the culture was there and I told him it might be due to how rich they were considering GPD per capita. This is the reason it can work despite high taxes.

If you saw the GDP per capita drop in half and unemployment double you would see a different attitude.

 

Good point - I don't know how austria feels about it, but the US is ok with dual citizenship. Just make sure to use your US passport when entering the US...

 

so it is austria that doesn't like it not us, i had it backwards...

 

Not for countries like China. Some don't care thus you can have dual UK US citizenship.

 

I doubt they will allow it for many countries beyond canada.

 

Actually, it's a lot .

You beat me to it.

 

well it also depends on which you were a citizen of first and if the other country makes you renounce.

It is also much harder than just a Perm Res card.

 

Well, this thread sure has taken an odd turn.

 

No kidding. I was hoping someone would take this thread down the "swedish bikini team" route, but unfortunately it was not to be.

Trust thegary to drag us into immigration rules instead.

 

Hey, I tried.

 

I hate to break it to you but there is no Swedish Bikini Team, well, not a real Swedish one. It's an American concoction.

 

Sorry, I kind of ignored your request.

 

Didn't think you were going to post your picture anyway, but it never hurt to ask right?

 

You are a cruel and heartless man.
