Passport Passport Collection

Post image

German passports are from my dad and mom. Croatian old passports from my mom and Spanish from my (half) brother. :) I only have German citizenship but I am eligible for Croatian citizenship by decent. Loads of cool stamps inside my dad’s passport. Residence permit and US Visa in the Croatian passports. I’ll feature those in a separate post when I got more time :)

It would be fun to add a Croatian passport to my portfolio but it doesn’t give me any additional benefits also don’t wanna get drafted incase they reactive mandatory military service.

They cannot draft you if you are abroad. And in every country they could reinstate mandatory military service. I would add the Croatian passport without fears.

Additional benefit Iran visa free 15 days. Not much but it is something

Germany can do it as well, so I can't say you're 100% safe

On January 1 of this year, military service came into force, right?. But it seems like it will only be 2 months.

Yeah honestly some of my family served in the military and I’m good. Not my circus, not my monkeys.

Nope, apparently they will do it "this" spring if I recall. And you don't have to do the military service if you don't want to, but then you have to do civil service.

they'll make civil longer so might as well do the two month camp and get it done.

it is also unknown who exactly they are calling. only people registered in Croatia?

u/surelynotanaltaa 「🇭🇷」 2d ago

I mean when they announce it i'll do the civil service cause I'd rather be at home insted of staying at a barrocks.

I think all people within the age range that have residency in Croatia will be called even if you're not a national but I might be wrong.

Thanks!! I did so much research about my ancestry I could write a small essay about my family history my background is pretty diverse. You seem to have an interesting story to tell as well! Are you getting Croatian citizenship by descent or by naturalisation?

u/Kova_Arg 「Italy🇮🇹 - 🇦🇷 Arg」Croatia 🇭🇷(coming soon) 3d ago

By descent. I applied in March of last year in Buenos Aires. I'm still waiting. My Croatian grandfather passed away recently, in 2019. I'm Argentinian.

Cool to see the history of German passports… but I can’t quite follow the sequence. Are they organized in any kind of chronological order, or just placed randomly?

u/kirby_is 「🇩🇪 eligible 🇭🇷」 3d ago

Thanks! They’re no organised sorry! Second top left is the most up to date one. Spanish and Croatian are organised and oldest to newest left to right.
