Studying in EU as EU citizen without EU passport

  • She can't get a student visa. She would be asked to disclose all her current and past citizenships, and once she mentions the current Czech one she is no longer eligible.
  • Since NZ is an Annex II country, she could arrive visa-free on her NZ passport and sort things out in Germany. That would leave an entry stamp with no matching exit in the passport, but the same 'incomplete' travel history pattern applies to anyone who gains an EU citizenship while in the Schengen area.
    Problem I: The university might not enroll her while her status is unclear.
    Problem II: Getting the passport might take more than 90 days. (I doubt that ...)
  • She could ask at an EU embassy in NZ for consular aid in getting home, i.e. temporary travel papers. That rule is more intended for tourists who get their papers stolen, however.
