[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I commented on moving to Germany with our kids. I know many people (mainly Brits after Brexit) who had lived in Germany for over 7 years and were able to obtain German citizenship. Or course it was a process. They had to pass language tests and civics tests. They had to go in for interviews. And... they had to have been registered as living in Germany for at least 7 years. I know that all European countries have different rules. But, if the OP is interested in moving to Sweden, or Germany, or the UK, and decides that they would like to pursue obtaining citizenship in their new country, it is possible. Like anything else, it requires commitment and time. I can't imagine that anyone who is thinking about uprooting their family (for an incredible life experience...I might add) wouldn't put in the work to learn the language, the culture, and all of the many regulations and requirements for citizenship if they choose to go down that path! I agree that joining an ex-pat community is a great first step. Getting to know parents at your children's schools will also be incredibly helpful! As for your home...rent it. We hired a company to manage ours while we were gone. We won't the flexibility of being able to move back to it. Also, dogs are beloved in Germany! I would read up on rules regarding your dog breed, and you will have to jump through some hoops with EU microchipping, and getting vaccinations right before you move, but plenty of people do it![/quote]

Interesting. Why didn’t you get German citizenship if you lived there so long?[/quote]
