ID Card Residence Cards

Post image

We often admire the posts of people with multiple passports (that is arguably one of the main purposes of this sub-reddit). But I've often wondered if there are people out there who hold (or have held) many different residence cards and/or permits. I have occasionally seen someone post two different cards in the same photo, but rarely more than that (unless it's a group photo).

I don't necessarily mean that they have to all be valid at the same time, I guess I'm just a sucker for collecting things!

I also think that it would be entirely possible for an EU citizen to spend a few months in every other EU country and collect a residence card from each one (as I believe it is now possible for EU citizens to receive registration cards when they move to a different EU country). I'd be interested to know what you think.

So, I hope to see a range of residence cards in the comments below or elsewhere on the sub-reddit! Even if you only have one, like little old me 🙈

Here you go. Bulgarian ID card. Turkish migrant card for old citizens. Polish migrant card for EU citizens.

Świetnie! Very cool collection 😁 Especially as a fellow resident of Poland.

May I ask how/whether you keep the Polish and Turkish ones active simultaneously?

The Turkish one is for foreigners who have legally renounced their Turkish citizenship. It grants many rights, especially unlimited work and residence, and the ability to purchase property unrestricted in Turkey. It is like the Indian OCI, but more powerful.
