> You will then likely also have to renounce your old citizenship. While that may be true to obtain citizenship, it won't be necessary anywhere for permanent residency. Citizenship is nice e.g. if you want to vote locally but isn't really necessary for anything else practical. Permanent residents will have equal access to health care, they have the same freedom to move elsewhere in the EU, etc etc. Citizenship might help if you want to commit crimes with no risk of being deported though, so maybe look into it before your first bank robbery.
