Anatta - With this post and the advice on dual nationality, I am in complete and utter awe of you.. Hopefully, I'll be able to get Vietnamese nationality so that, if I indeed decide to invest in property over here, I can get screwed over just as ... Read More

Kim, It took my mother 7 years to finally get British citizenship and apparently she was fast-tracked because she gave birth to me (a British citizen) more or less immediately after they arrived. So there's still a chance that they were still ... Read More
