In the mailbox today....was a Wiesbaden gov't letter addressed to me...more or less...a format letter.
Dear so-and-so....we noticed....you've been a 'guest-with-a-visa' for a dozen years....wouldn't you like to apply to be a citizen?
I paused over it....they listed five or six benefits (like I could vote....particularly in EU elections).
To be rather honest....I'm here mostly because of my wife. I could just as well move to Italy, Greece or Den Haag.
Me being a pleasant 'guest'? Well....other than a daily cynical comment or two....some weekly grumbling over the Bahn travel....I've tried to be a 'nice-guest'.
Them needing more citizens? I looked it up from 2015 to 2025....near 240k to 280k Germans a year.....who exit/leave. Yeah.....they need to keep pestering folks to either become citizens or come in. I'd almost suggest they need a HR-office to recruit Koreans or Australians to come in.
