There are tens of thousands of Germans in Australia who would love to become Australian citizens. But only a minority go down this arduous avenue, not the least because they fear losing their German, and by extension, EU passport.


In this interview, a German expert in Sydney explains all the rules and regulations surrounding dual citizenship - a rather complex issue. He also talks about the rights of Australian children born to one German parent, the rules regarding the Australian partners of German citizens, and whether it is possible to regain your German citizenship once you have lost it.
