This makes it far easier to masquerade as a native, given appropriate language, accent and cultural familiarity. You won't give yourself away by using cutlery like a foreigner, looking the wrong way when crossing the road, cooking or cleaning in a foreign style, failing to recognise road signs or police ranks, or any of the numberless ways of "acting foreign".
That sounds like stuff that would be covered by Cultural Familiarity.
