[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why do you need a lawyer?  I did it all myself, even though it was a huge PITA and took a long time.

Which country, maybe I can help you.[/quote]

We did this for Italy, it’s a PIA but you don’t need to hire someone, [/quote]

You need to hire an Italian lawyer if you’re a 1948 case.

OP I’m also a 1948 through my father and grandmother.  I’m paying around $8,000 for my lawyer including document collection and translations for four of us. But I started a couple of years ago when it was a bit cheaper and we’re about to file our case in the court of Bologna.  [b]Lots of good reasons for wanting dual citizenship.[/b]

I agree with PP who recommended the Facebook group. They’re extremely helpful for anyone seeking Italian citizenship through JS. [/quote]

What are these reasons?  I guess I lack imagination/awareness so explain it to me like I'm 5... [/quote]

PP you're quoting here.

1.  I plan to retire in Italy.  Yes, I can do it without citizenship on an Elective Residency visa (you have to prove passive income of a certain amount), BUT, I couldn't work at all.  If I wanted to open a yoga studio, teach English classes, etc., I couldn't.  It is EXTREMELY difficult to get a work visa in Italy if you're not an EU citizen.  I don't plan to stay idle when I retire - I want to do some sort of work.

2.  My DD is very intersted in attending university in an EU country. It is much cheaper as a citizen.  You don't have to live there.  In fact, I have two nephews and a niece who live in EU countries who are not citizens, and their university tuitions were a fraction of what they would pay in the US. Grad school too.

3.  I'm getting citizenship for my DD and my niece and newphew.  They will pass this down to all future generations.  All will have lots of options on where they can live.

4.  DD for sure would like to live and work in an EU country.  She is fluent in Spanish and Italian.  She can live in any EU country and work as an EU citizen.

5.  Last but not least, it is my heritage and I embrace it fully.  I speak Italian and have been going to Italy since I was a child as my father and all of my grandparents were from Italy.  While this reason has no practical purposes, it means a lot to me personally to have my Italian citizenship.

6. Kind of related - but my DH is from an Asian country and we are also getting green card type status for DD there.  She will have lots of options for countries in which she can live and work.

What European universities are your niece and nephew attending that are letting them pay tuition that locals pay, even if they are not residents ?[/quote]
