Frequently Asked Questions
The benefits and privileges of citizenship by descent vary by country. The main advantages include the right to live, work and study without a visa. Citizens may also start businesses, own property and move freely. In addition, citizenship often provides access to health and social services, as well as the right to vote.
Restrictions and limitations on citizenship by descent vary from country to country. These may include limits on the number of generations through which citizenship may be inherited or rules on the perpetual transmission of citizenship from one generation to the next.
Eligibility criteria for Spanish dual nationality by descent include :
- Having a Spanish mother or father by birth.
- Both parents are Spanish by birth.
- Having one grandparent or great-grandparent that was Spanish by birth.
- Having been adopted by a Spanish citizen before reaching 18 years of age.
Italian citizenship is transmitted from parents to children without generational limits, provided that none of the ancestors have renounced their citizenship.
For children born on or after January 1, 1948, nationality may be transmitted through the maternal line.
If in your line of Italian ancestors there is a case where a woman had a child in your line before 1948, it is still possible to initiate a legal action for the recognition of Italian citizenship that must be presented to the competent Italian court.
The first step is to have specific proof of the immigrant ancestor’s nationality through his or her birth or baptismal certificate.
Once this document has been obtained, the family relationship must be proven by providing the necessary documentation of all the intermediate generations and that of the applicant himself/herself, in the required format.
