He Consulate of Italy indicated the main reasons that may present inconveniences for access to your citizenship. The information shared by the official body was based on those who want to become nationalized through the traditional route, by direct descent from a family member.
The statement from the Italian authorities helped the hundreds of Argentines who want to emigrate to seek a better future abroad. This report provides highly relevant data for those who want to access citizenship. Italy is one of the countries most chosen by young people because its community is very large in Argentina and the European country allows greater facilities to those of Italian descent.
Naturalized ancestry
This first obstacle occurs when the applicant has an ancestor who was naturalized as a foreign citizen before the birth of their respective child. It also applies to any case before July 1, 1912. None of these situations have the right to access Italian citizenship.
Coming of age
This second case takes into account ancestors who were naturalized between July 2 and August 15, 1992, before the birth of the descendant. These must have carried out the re-acquisition before the applicant reached the age of majority.
Other nationalities
This third point prevents the descendants of those who have voluntarily acquired another citizenship before August 16, 1992 from accessing citizenship by direct descent.
Emigrate to Italy: how to access citizenship
The Italian Consulate reported the other ways to access the community passport:
The first way is by descent or Iure Sanguinis. This opportunity is for all applicants that some of their parents are Italian. It also covers those who were adopted when they were minors, those legally recognized as children. Or those who were born in Italy to stateless parents.
By descent. This option covers grandchildren, great-grandchildren or more distant descendants who seek to claim their nationality by blood or reconstruction rights. The conditions that highlight this path are that there are no generation limitsprovided that kinship can be proven, and that the paternal line can be claimed until the founding of modern Italy in 1861. While the maternal bloodline can only be claimed from 1948.
The last two ways to obtain citizenships are through a marriage with an Italian citizen and through the naturalization. In the first case, you only need to pass a B1 level language exam. While in the second case, it is required between a five-year residence in the country, a service provided to the country or that the State grants citizenship on an exceptional basis.
