Interesting. He's normally very well informed and precise. Maybe it is about his partner.

Should be easier for his partner to get an Irish passport after living in Ireland for 5 years than having to go to the UK. She can then also use the CTA to get into the UK.

As a African citizen married to a British citizen it would have been easier for us to go to Ireland and get into the UK using the EU route than the UK spousal route. This loophole is closing now with Brexit.

Forgot about that. My grandfather was born in India so I should be able to qualify somehow if I can get all the paperwork in order.

If he came as an endentured labourer his name will be on a shiplist, if your parents where born before 1961 their passenger numbers will be on their birth certificate. If that's the case all you'll need is your parents birth certificate and an unabridged birth certificate and R3-4K to get an OCI.

My cousin got his, I'm still trying to find my mother's birth certificate she has two grand
parents who were born in India.
 
My goal is Japanese or Korean nationality in the future. I've lived there for quite some time as a student and feel home there, might as well make it super permanent.

Besides, they have faster internet and trains than any western country.
 
No, I only have SA citizenship.

I could potentially qualify for an OCI card in India but the admin work that I would have to do just scares me. Plus, I don't have an interest in going and staying there currently.

Is it possible? Most Asian countries seem super-strick on citizenship, at least compared to SA and many western nations.

I would think it would only really be possible if you have an exceptional talent or are filthy rich?

I have never even left the country, let alone have foreign citizenship!

Years ago my father told me that his grandmother was Irish, hence our ****ed up surname, but I've never done any research into it.

Imagine me - coloured - walking around in Ireland :unsure:

You might actually get a lot of attention. I know a lot of darker skinned males (black men especially) who tend to do quite well in terms of dating in countries with majority white people. Germany in particular.
 
Should qualify for a 3rd shortly.

Couple of complications in the way...need to make sure I don't forfeit the other two in the process...

Yes totally possible. Not as straightforward getting in VS places like New Zealand, but once you're there you can become a naturalised citizen.

They also have a declining birthrate, so perhaps policies will change.

I hear Korea isn't that expensive for South African though not sure the person who told was referring to the Best Korea or South Korea.
