Iranian citizenship has curse of binding on it

[hmnhntr]

If the final step of a process is "permission" then it's probably not an easy process

[HereGoesKevin]

My friend who is Iranian successfully gave up his citizenship, his dad is Iranian and her mom is an Indonesian immigrant who lived in Canada for a long time, he does not know how to speak Persian nor Arabic, the only reason he had any Iranian citizenship in the first place was because he was born in Iran, the Iranian government agreed to remove his citizenship simply because he does not know any of their languages and literally speaks English with a perfect american/canadian accent.

There are actually THREE links for forms on the renunciation of citizenship page … and each link leads to that same “404 Not Found” message.

-And how did you finally manage it?
-I ran.

“What’s the worst that can happen? They say no?”

Council: [loads gun]

[wildwolf]

Imagine selling all you realstate just for some person to say NO😂

As an Iranian, this was the first time I've heard about it! Anyway, Iranians usually go for dual citizenship. Some bolder ones go for fugitive status but still keep the Iranian passport so that they can travel to the motherland when they feel the need for mom's food

North Korea: finally a worthy opponent

[fauzirahman]

I know of an Australian politician who have established the "exhausted all possibilities" of giving up foreign citizenship, which is a requirement to run for federal parliament because he is of Iranian descent.

Edit: His name is Sam Dastyari if you're interested in looking up.

Have you ever seen the movie ‘Not without my Daughter’? It details the struggle of an American woman to get herself and her daughter out of Iran after her Iranian husband becomes abusive. Among the struggles she faces is finding out that according to Iran under Iranian law she became an Iranian citizen the moment she married her husband. So they don’t see her as an American woman trying to return home but rather as an Iranian woman trying to abandon her country.

long story short: if the final step of ANY process is the government granting you permission to do your right then it wasn't your right, either an option or your future to begin with.

TLDR you need to be rich with connections, aka the guy that's deciding if your citizenship is renounced is your dad's best friend or your uncle

You don't let me live, you don't let me die
I said as a Iranian

[MeanMachine]

Being an Iranian is like being in a relationship with an abusive country. First it makes your life a living hell, then it does its best not to let you leave with its useless passport and currency, and _if_ you manage get past all the hurdles and leave, it makes it costly as hell, and even after you've left, you will be haunted by its bad reputation and nightmares everywhere you go for the rest of your life.

Had my Australian passport stolen in Iran, the nightmare you have to go thru to get an EMERGENCY PASSPORT is disgrace. Authorities makes things very very difficult for absolutely no reason, an officer was very suspicious and said we have lost our passport intentionally 😕😕. The taxi driver kicked me out of his taxi because I was speaking foreign language to my brother in Australia. It doesn't get more racist.

hey im an immigrant from Iran so I left before I could do military service so I still have iranian citizenship. Even if you go through this process you still can't leave the country. I won a lottery that allowed me to leave.

[roadman_hanzi]

Easiest way to get rid of your Iranian nationality is basically getting a nationality in a place that doesn't allow dual nationality

[Daniel-gkdp]

Iranian here, I really love my country, but we all hate the government controlling it. Revolution is needed and its needed fast.
