5 Reasons for Brits to take up German Citizenship

There are lots of reasons why a Brit might consider taking up German citizenship. Here are five benefits for Brits living in Germany who decide to become German. There are more and how much you personally value each of these will vary but these are the ones that may be most important:

1. Complete freedom to live and work in Germany as long as you want. 
2. The ability to vote in all local, regional, state and national elections.
3. Freedom to travel throughout the EU without restrictions.
4. Having a convenient, instantly recognised ID card which is also cheaper and easier to extend or replace than a UK passport.
5. A better chance of your country's team winning the World Cup!

If any of these things are important to you then I would suggest you take the plunge and go for it. After all, you still get to keep your British nationality too so you are gaining one rather than losing one!
