Citizenship by Descent
Depending on your familial background, you might qualify to seek alternative citizenship through your lineage, thereby experiencing the numerous business and lifestyle advantages that come with a more powerful passport. Citizenship by descent enables you to assert the citizenship of your forebears as an inherent right. Optimize your heritage by obtaining an alternative passport.
An Overview of Citizenship by Descent
The age-old practice of migration across the globe suggests that our heritage may extend far beyond our current understanding. Citizenship by descent, often referred to as citizenship by ancestry, is a process through which individuals can seek and obtain an alternative citizenship based on their familial connections, provided they can establish a significant link to their forebears.
In contrast to citizenship by marriage, which allows one to gain additional citizenship through marrying a local national, or citizenship by naturalization, which is acquired by residing in a country for a designated period (for instance, living in Portugal for five years as a resident), citizenship by descent is considered a birthright. In such instances, you inherently possess this citizenship from birth, but it must be activated by submitting an application to the government, which may officially acknowledge your citizenship status upon receipt of verified documentation.
Depending on the nation for which citizenship is sought, you may be eligible to obtain an ancestral passport by providing evidence of your connections to parents, grandparents, great-grandparents, or even more distant relatives who held citizenship in that country, irrespective of the nation of your birth.
Countries That Offer Citizenship by Ancestry

How to Apply for Citizenship by Descent
Each nation has distinct criteria and procedures for determining eligibility and granting ancestral citizenship, including the required generational depth of ancestry and any language proficiency prerequisites. Luxegacy Private Solutions can assist you in navigating this process.
Depending on the nation where you are seeking citizenship, you will be required to submit documents that clearly establish your lineage. These documents may include birth and death certificates, passports, marriage certificates, address registers, naturalization papers, and any other documentation that can legally substantiate your ancestry claim.
Applicants must adhere to the following steps:
1. Determining your eligibility for citizenship by descent.
This process can be lengthy and requires identifying which ancestor’s citizenship you are applying for and gathering the necessary documentation. Individuals who are ineligible include, for instance, those whose ancestor renounced or forfeited their citizenship prior to the applicant’s birth.
Additionally, it is important to verify whether the desired government allows dual citizenship; otherwise, you may be required to relinquish your original citizenship.
2. Compiling your application.
The required documents may need to be apostilled and translated. It may also be necessary to thoroughly review government archives that confirm citizenship.
3. Awaiting the government’s decision.
The duration of the waiting period varies depending on the relevant government agency.
