German cabinet gives go-ahead to dual citizenship | GlobalPost

A significant change for Germany, recognizing the complex realities of people’s lives:

The draft law approved by the government allows young people to opt for two passports if, at the age of 21, they can prove they have lived in Germany for at least eight years, gone to school in the country for six years, gained school-leaving qualifications here or completed vocational training in Germany.

“That’s a great signal for many young people in our country. Hundreds of thousands of them can breathe a sigh of relief,” said Aydan Oezoguz, Germany’s federal commissioner for migration, refugees and integration.
