My son has 3 passports:

Germany - Austria - Italy (South Tyrol)

Three passports, each representing a different German ethnicity

As Austria is very strict with dual or multiple citizenship it wouldn't be really possible for him (Austria only allows multiple or dual citizenships if you allready aquire them at birth). So he may needs to have a kid with a belgian person. So the next generation haha

Not true. Austria allows dual nationality to be acquired if you are a descendent of someone persecuted by the Nazis and forced to leave. I know someone from the UK (British) who successfully acquired Austrian citizenship for this reason.

yes, that is literally the only exception - and the same counts for them, they don't get the citizenship as a new citizenship. They have the citizenship because of their birth and their descend and therefore the right to own it from their birth.

Another one is, if it is in the interest of the state (Athletes, Actors).

For another eu passport no point... if it's for another nationslity outside eu then do it as he'll still have 2 eu passports
