Can Americans obtain an EU passport if their grandparents were European?

It will depend on the citizenship laws of the European country. Some countries allow citizenship to pass down as many as three generations, others only one generation. I would suggest your contact an attorney/notary/solicitor in the EU country you are interested in and see if you can qualify.\n\nAs an American, you are legally allowed to possess dual citizenship, but it can present a problem when traveling abroad (i.e. which passport do you use?). What many dual nationals do is attempt to have the border officers in the foreign state stamp both the U.S. and the other passport upon entry. This eases your re-entry to the U.S. \n\nGood luck!

I'm Canadian. Under no circumstances would I call myself American.\n\nAnd the name "Europe" is becoming synonymous with the European Union, and so for example including Ireland and excluding Switzerland. (Although it's true that the Swiss would be more likely to call themselves "Europeans" than the Irish would.)\n\nAnd while you're at it, I know a fair number of US citizens (some who have no other citizenship) who were NOT born in the USA.

First off England did not found these countries. In fact there were aboriginal people living there and England invaded these countries. In the case of Canada, the French were the first there before England.\n\nAs for the visa question, canadians can only get passports if someone's grandparent was british. For example, i dont have a passport because all my grandparents were born in canada. However, my boyfriend does have a parent because both his parents are british. \n\nIt is also easy for UK residents to get visas and entries to these countries so it is both ways.

American tourist passports are blue.  Diplomatic and Official passports are black.  Your mother needs a passport from her home country.  She should contact the embassy of her home country in Washington for more information.  If she is a political exile, under some conditions, the United Nations can issue a white travel document.  I am not familiar with that process.

Just the citizenship.  That person will still have the same nationality as his parents.

It may take a little work and a little money,but the best thing to do is to first sit down with your parents or grandparents and collect important dates,like births, deaths, departures, and arrivals. Then the office of public records usually has death certificates and other information for about $5-$15 per document. Including birth records, and immigration list and charts. Don't fall for those crappy genealogy sites, they kinda just give you a general idea, about your last name etc. Now, if you want even further the National Geographic Society will send you a kit, and test your DNA and send you a map which will show your ancestral history back 100s of years. i hoped this helped .G'luck

I don't think most of know our ancestry back that far, I can't even find out what my grandfathers name is. I would assume that the number would be fairly low, considering all the immigration that has taken place since the Civil War.\nWonderful question!

You can get a passport for her, even though she is so young.  Depending on how your parents are traveling you may also need a notarized letter saying that you are the custodial parent and have given permission for your child to travel with her grandparents.

You are not a U.S. citizen because one of your grandparents was a citizen.  It is necessary for one of your parents to be a citizen or for you to have been born here.\n\nTo become a naturalized citizen, you must immigrate by getting a visa.
