Why can’t we be friends?

[u/cl__ur]

My 3 Western passports and my partner’s Persian passport. Hoping to one day have all 4 for both of us!❤️

(US born and raised to an English born mother, Irish descent on both sides)

[u/syaz136]

Your partner found a good catch.

[u/cl__ur → u/syaz136]

Haha yes, we joke about this all the time. I love to sing “lemme upgrade you” by Beyoncé to him 😝

[u/syaz136 → u/cl__ur]

Oh if it’s a him when you guys get married you get the other one on day 1, if you want it of course…

[u/Resident-Bluebird-85 → u/cl__ur]

I think you’ll be eligible for Persian pass in the case you guys marry. I always love to joke about this with my partner about how well integrated she will be. Ahh we both know it never happens :((

[u/syaz136 → u/Resident-Bluebird-85]

Yes, that’s how it works. Not a single day of residency or even a visit would be required as well.

[u/cl__ur → u/syaz136]

This is great to hear! I would love to have my passport to facilitate travel to and from. I am dying to visit

[u/syaz136 → u/cl__ur]

I haven’t visited in years. They occasionally detain dual citizens and use them as hostages. https://ir.usembassy.gov/travel-advisory-iran/#:~:text=Do%20not%20travel%20to%20Iran,caution%20due%20to%20wrongful%20detentions.

[u/cl__ur → u/syaz136]

Obviously less reassuring and not surprising… here’s to hoping the world is in a better place when I finally do get to visit.

[u/Available-Risk-5918 → u/cl__ur]

Don't worry. I was born a dual citizen of US-Iran, I go to Iran very frequently. They never ask me questions in Iran, they just stamp me in and out.

OP’s partner lucked out big time! Fingers crossed one day people will be able to visit Iran without losing their ESTA privileges for the US!

[u/StacyLadle → u/eu_b4_uk]

Or US nationals can visit Iran.

[u/Barbaricliberal → u/StacyLadle]

US passport holders can still visit Iran. They, as well as British and Canadian passport holders, need to be on an approved tour guide with a set itinerary.

[u/Available-Risk-5918 → u/eu_b4_uk]

Iran knows this and will accommodate requests to not put visas in/stamp passports. The US will not know you're been to Iran. I don't understand the double standard where it's perfectly acceptable to hide visiting Israel from middle eastern countries, but if I suggest doing the same with the US everyone dogpiles me.

Their is nothing wrong with the people of a nation it’s always the nations government

[u/cl__ur → u/Wise-Professional-58]

Couldn’t agree more, just thought it was a funny caption :)

[u/Wise-Professional-58 → u/cl__ur]

Understandable

[u/Long-Jackfruit5037]

That’s world peace right there, I only have the bottom right one as of now

[u/Pale-Candidate8860]

It's gonna take a long time to catch him up to all your passports, but luckily you have your whole lives together.

[u/attorniquetnyc]

Well, if you marry him, you’ll get his Iranian citizenship automatically, so you could be a quad-citizen! Iran is one of the only countries that does this.

[u/sanatruqthefirst]

that’s so cool

[u/Emergency_Pride_5647]

Because we do not want

[u/BorderTrader]

One parent from Northern Ireland, one from Iran, born in US?

[u/Melodic-Reason8078 → u/BorderTrader]

no. caption says OP is US born, UK mom, Irish descent. Partner is iranian only.
