Description[?]:
| This law is created from the influence and inspiration of the Kirlawan Nationality Bill (http://classic.particracy.net/viewbill.php?billid=618973): Citizenship of the September Union can be obtained on the basis of birth, marriage of parents, adoption, or the place of birth. In addition, it may be acquired by application or by declaration to authorities. Selucian citizenship acquisition is based on the combination on the legal principle of jus sanguinis and jus solis. 1. Birth 1.1 Jus Solis: A child born in September territory becomes a Hulstrian citizen if: - At least one of the child's parents is a Hulstrian citizen. - The September Union authorities declares so. 1.2 Jus Sanguinus: A child acquires jus sanguinis Hulstrian citizenship at birth if: - At least one of the child's parents is a Hulstrian citizen - At least one of the child's parents is a Hulstrian citizen, the child is born in Hulstria out of wedlock, and paternity has been established; - The child's father who died before the child was born was a Hulstrian citizen and who was married to the child's mother at the time of his death - The child's father, who died before the birth of the child, was a Hulstrian citizen and the child was born in Hulstria out of wedlock and the father's paternity was established. 2. Legitimation A child who is born abroad and whose father/mother is a Hulstrian citizen will acquire Hulstrian citizenship when the parents get married. If paternity has been established, the child will acquire Hulstrian citizenship as of the date of the marriage contract. If paternity is established after this point, the child will acquire Hulstrian citizenship as of the date on which paternity is established. 3. Adoption A foreign adopted child under 16 years of age will automatically acquire Hulstrian citizenship if at least one of the adoptive parents is a Hulstrian citizen and if the adoption is recognised as valid in Hulstria. A local register office will enter the child's Hulstrian citizenship in the population register. An adopted child who is over 16 years old may apply for Hulstrian citizenship by declaration. 4. Naturalisation as a Hulstrian citizen 4.1. Citizenship by application A foreigner may be granted Hulstrian citizenship upon meeting certain requirements, including: - Seven years continuous residence OR a total of ten years residence since age 16, with the last two years residence continuous - Knowledge of Dundorfian language. For those married to or in a registered partnership with a Hulstrian citizen for more than three years, the residence requirement is reduced to : - Four years continuous residence OR six years total residence since age 16 (with the last two years continuous) - Knowledge of Dundorfian language These reduced residence requirements also apply to recognised refugees and stateless persons. Former Hulstrian citizens are only required to have two years continuous residence in Hulstria. The authorities have the right to refuse an application for citizenship by application even if the requirements are met. 4.2. Citizenship by declaration Declaration is a simpler method of acquiring Hulstrian citizenship. If the legal requirements are met it must be granted. Categories of persons eligible for citizenship by declaration include: 4.2.1 Long-resident young persons Persons aged between 18-23 may acquire Hulstrian citizenship by declaration if: - Resident in Hulstria for a total of 10 years (6 years if born in Hulstria) AND domiciled in Hulstria AND not sentenced to imprisonment 5. Removal. A Hulstrian citizen will lose the Hulstrian nationality if: - They become citizens of a nation declared as "public enemy" by the Hulstrian authorities. - They voluntarily enter in the military or political service of a foreign nation against the specific prohibition of the Hulstrian authorities. - A judgment declares that the citizen committed falsehood, concealment or fraud in the acquisition of Hulstrian nationality. |
