    German Citizenship/Passport. Am I eligible?
    I am an Australian Citizen with a German heritage.
    I would like to acquire a German passport.
    I was born in Australia. My mother was born in Australia, but father was born in Germany to German parents.
    I would like to travel to Germany to reconnect with my family and my heritage. I am now 30 and have missed to cut off for a working holiday visa so this is my last option.

    I have been doing some research but haven't found any answers. Has anybody been in a similar situation? Is it possible for me to get a German Passport? Your comments would be appreciated.
    Many Thanks.

    If one parent is German, yes you can get a german passport.

    What about if when my father came to Australia he then became an Australian Citizen, but his parents remained German Citizens?
    Also do I need to become a German Citizen to acquire a German Passport & will that mean giving up my Australian Citizenship?
    Thanks again.

    I'm not sure exactly, but I think if one parent is German, you can get a passport.

    If you do find out, I'd like to know as well, because I've wanted to get one, since my mother's German.
