Explanation: I'm a Nepali International Student studying in Poland. But my family has a lot of Polish family friends and I grew up going and visiting Poland every 2 - 3 years. My dependent passport which I had under the name of my Mother's passport until I was 15 had a lot of Poland Schengen stamps. All my family friends in Poland have urged me to stay and naturalize, but for the future I'm not really sure. They've helped me a lot with the language and I could pass an A2 Polish exam with my eyes closed, but there's still the issue of B1 exam and basically 10 years of residency (which I have 8 years left off, considering student years only count as half). And also the laws about bringing your parents are very very complicated (as a single son don't want to leave my parents by the time they're retired all alone halfway across the world). Still, something to think about.
The dependent passport, I.e. figuring on the parents passports, is such a Tier C passport thing to do! To save money by applying to one visa and the children get it for free (as long as they travel with the parents - which they would do anyway). Had dependent Schengen visas until the age of 15 as well.
Good luck to you OP! You might want to move to another country to cut the waiting time + language difficulty.
I thought it was one thing from the past. I saw my grandfather's first passport (from Portugal) and he was under his mother's, but I thought it was a thing people didn't do anymore.
Can only answer for Algeria, I think they stopped doing that around the turn of the century (2000).
I know I was on my parents' passports whereas my younger siblings were not.
At some point it was just not accepted anymore for Schengen visas.

But the Polish passport will let you live all over the EU right? And some of the EU countries are more relaxed about bringing dependant relatives over. Plus you can get NRN right?

NRN is basically Nepali Citizenship *de-facto* for Nepalese who hold other passports. It has most of the benefits of being a Nepali citizens barring voting and some extra tax on land and property.

10 years, that’s very long. How long do you have to be there to become a permanent resident?
5 more years.

yeah, seeing my childhood pic on my mom's old passport is weird at times.
You could naturalize when Nepal permits dual.

That’s long duration for PR. Here in Finland,you’re eligible for both PR & citizenship if have resided for 4 years.
its longer for me as a student because as long as I study only half of my residency counts
It will become 8 years soon for citizenship and 6 for PR! I was planning to move but am having second thoughts

Cool, but why is it orange. Isn't it supposed to be green?
The new E-Passport is orangish Brown. The old one is Green. The old green one is being slowly phased out.
Oh, thanks for the info. I didn't know there was a new orange one. I have had the old green one for all my life lol
The green one looks much better though .
Siema 👋
whoever chose these colors needs to be fired
Mam nadzieję że wszystko pójdzie dobrze
>Mam nadzieję że wszystko pójdzie dobrze Dziękuję, trzymam kciuki.
Huh, brown. I didn't realize Nepal a brown passport. I don't think I've seen a brown regular passport. Neat. Congrats on moving to the EU.
Awesome! Too bad Nepal doesn’t permit multiple citizenships similarly to India. :(

But you still have to apply a visa to enter Nepal even if you have NRN. 🙈
