    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.
    Robert

    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.
