German actor bidding adieu to Germany, eyes on becoming Spanish national
In the latest episode of the popular German reality/documentary series "Goodbye Deutschland!", Caro Robens, a long-term resident of Mallorca, embarked on a significant journey towards Spanish citizenship.
Caro Robens, who has called Mallorca home for nearly half of her life, first came to the island at the age of 15. She permanently moved there in 2003, at the age of 24. Her husband, Andreas, met her a few years later.
The path to citizenship for Caro Robens was not without hurdles. She faced a setback when she forgot her passport for her citizenship test, necessitating a four-month wait for a retest. However, she persevered and passed her tests with flying colours, a testament to her determination.
Andreas Robens announced Caro Robens' new status via a video message to VOX, confirming that she is now a Spanish citizen. The news was met with joy and relief, as Caro Robens expressed her happiness living on Mallorca.
However, the Robens family is not immune to the challenges faced by many expats on the island. Andreas Robens has expressed concerns about the rising rents and protests against mass tourism on Mallorca. He also implied that significant renovations would be needed to turn Mallorca into a second Monaco.
The show "Goodbye Deutschland!" provides a glimpse into the lives of German expatriates on Mallorca, highlighting contemporary issues such as legal residency, integration, and social tensions on the island. The series is known for covering personal and community struggles, making it a compelling watch for those interested in the expat experience.
VOX will continue to report on Caro Robens' citizenship process and the lives of other German expats on Mallorca.
