The Mission: Obtain an EU passport

The Rationale: This task seems simple enough, but in order to accomplish it within the 1001 days, it could easily become the hardest one on my list. More explanation below.

Status: Not Started

Okay, to secure a passport in 1001 days I need to be a citizen of somewhere in the EU. I can’t do so in the UK, as they require that I be here for 5 years before they will consider giving me citizenship. The only real option is Germany, as Jenn is techincally already a German citizen through jus sanguine.

If Jenn has her German passport and we are in Germany, I can have mine within two years, so if I am to accomplish this goal, we have to move to Germany.

We are now seriously considering where in Germany we might want to move, though no real plans have been made. The front-runners are; Hamburg, Cologne, Dresden and Berlin

11 February 2007

We have narrowed it down to Hamburg and Cologne, and are leaning heavily towards Cologne due to the proximity to Jenn’s German relations.
