Christiansborg
1240 København K
Folketingets Indfødsretsudvalg har den 16. december 2015 efter ønske fra Ikke-medlem af
udvalget Alex Ahrendtsen (DF) stillet følgende spørgsmål nr. 37 (Alm. del) til udlændinge-,
integrations- og boligministeren, som hermed besvares.
Spørgsmål nr. 37:
Vil ministeren oplyse, hvilke krav der skal være opfyldt for at opnå statsborgerskab i føl-
gende lande?:
– Algeriet
– Bahrain
– Egypten
– Jordan
– Kuwait
– Israel
– Libyen
– Marokko
– Oman
– Qatar
– Saudi-Arabien
– Tunesien
– Tyrkiet
– Yemen
Spørgsmålet har tidligere været stillet i folketingsåret 2014-15, 1. samling, jf. IFU alm. del -
spm. 47, og i folketingsåret 2014-15, 2. samling, jf. IFU alm. del - spm. 7. Spørgsmålene er
foreløbigt besvaret.
Svar:
Som det fremgår af de foreløbige besvarelser af 31. januar 2016 af spørgsmål nr. 37 (Alm.
del), af 7. august 2015 af spørgsmål nr. 7 (Alm. del) og af 13. april 2015 af spørgsmål nr. 47
(Alm. del) fra Folketingets Indfødsretsudvalg, har Justitsministeriet til brug for besvarelsen
af spørgsmålet anmodet Udenrigsministeriet om at søge at indhente de ønskede oplysnin-
ger.
Udlændinge-, Integrations- og Boligministeriet kan oplyse, at ministeriet har modtaget
oplysninger fra Udenrigsministeriet vedrørende de 14 lande, der spørges til. Udenrigsmini-
steriet har i den forbindelse oplyst følgende:

IFU Alm.del - endeligt svar på spørgsmål 37
Indfødsretsudvalget 2015-16
Side 2/20
”Til brug for UIBM's udarbejdelse af svar på FT spørgsmål 37 IFU alm. del, jfr. tidli-
gere spørgsmål 47 IFU alm. del og spørgsmål 7 IFU alm. del vedr. hvilke krav, der
skal være opfyldt for at opnå statsborgerskab i en række udvalgte lande, bemær-
kes, at Udenrigsministeriet via de danske repræsentationer har indhentet informa-
tioner om indfødsret vedr. de omfattede lande.
Hvor en anmodning om en fyldestgørende redegørelse ikke har kunnet indhentes
ved en direkte forespørgsel hos de lokale myndigheder, er der søgt oplysninger via
myndighedernes officielle hjemmesider, hvorfra der om fornødent er foretaget en
uofficiel oversættelse til engelsk eventuelt med supplerende uofficielle bemærk-
ninger på dansk. I visse tilfælde har repræsentationerne indhentet information via
stedlig advokat.
Særligt for så vidt angår Udenrigsministeriets besvarelse af 21. februar 2016 vedr.
lovgivningen i Saudi Arabien, Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman og Yemen, har ambassaden
for de sidstnævnte fire lande efterfølgende vurderet, at kontrahering af en advokat
ikke kunne bidrage med væsentlig substans i forhold til, hvad der allerede forelig-
ger oplyst fra officielle kanaler. Grundet den intense konflikt i Yemen vil brug af ad-
vokat dér ikke tjene et formål til at indhente kurante informationer. Derimod vil
kontakt til en advokat i Bahrain, Oman og Kuwait kunne benyttes i de situationer,
hvor der skal søges oplysninger i en helt konkret sag om indfødsret.
Ambassaden i Riyadh har således ikke iværksat yderligere undersøgelser via advo-
kat.”
Udlændinge-, Integrations- og Boligministeriet har nedenfor gengivet de oplysninger, som
Udenrigsministeriet har fremsendt vedrørende de krav, der skal være opfyldt for at er-
hverve statsborgerskab i de 14 lande.
Algeriet
Udenrigsministeriet har oplyst følgende:
“Til brug for UIBM's udarbejdelse af svar på FT spørgsmål 37 IFU alm. del, jfr. tidli-
gere spørgsmål 47 IFU alm. del og spørgsmål 7 IFU alm. del vedr. hvilke krav, der
skal være opfyldt for at opnå statsborgerskab i en række udvalgte lande, følger
hermed retsgrundlaget for erhvervelse af indfødsret i Algeriet, som den danske rej-
sende ambassadør for Algeriet, pt. København, har tilvejebragt via advokat i Algier:
The conditions of acquisition of the Algerian Nationality are governed by the Order
No 05-01 of February 27th, 2005 modifying and completing the Order No 70-86 of
December 15th, 1970 relating to the Algerian Nationality Code (hereinafter re-

According to Article 09 bis of the Order 05-01, the Algerian nationality can be ac-
quired by the Marriage with an Algerian (male or female), by Decree in the follow-
ing conditions:
Side 3/20
- To prove that the Marriage is legal and effectively established since three (3)
years at least at the time of the filing of the request

of an Algerian father or of an Algerian mother.
B) Algerians by Birth:
According to Article 07 of the Order 05-01, is of Algerian Nationality by birth in Al-
geria:

have been Algerian, if during his minority, his filiation is legally established towards
a foreigner (male or female) and if he has, according to the national law of such
foreigner (male or female), the nationality of the latter.
The newborn child found in Algeria is presumed born in Algeria, until proven oth-
erwise.
B) The child born in Algeria of an unknown father and of a mother of which only the

Bahrain
Udenrigsministeriet har oplyst følgende:
”Til brug for UIBM's udarbejdelse af svar på FT spørgsmål 37 alm. del, jfr. tidligere
IFU alm. del spørgsmål 47 og IFU alm. del spørgsmål 7 vedr. hvilke krav skal være
opfyldt for at opnå statsborgerskab i en række udvalgte lande, følger hermed bi-
drag fra ambassaden i Riyadh, der tillige dækker Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman og Yemen.
Ambassaden har indhentet senest offentliggjorte lovtekster vedrørende opnåelse
af statsborgerskab fra ovennævnte landes officielle myndighedshjemmesider.
Derudover har ambassaden formelt kontaktet de relevante myndigheder
med anmodning om bekræftelse af, at de ovennævnte indhentede lovtekster er
den gældende lovgivning, og i tilfælde det er relevant at modtage evt. ændringer
hertil.
Ambassaden har foretaget uofficielle oversættelser af lovteksterne i de tilfælde,
hvor de ikke fandtes som officielle engelske oversættelser. Med link i dokumenter-
ne med de uofficielle oversættelser er der kildehenvist til de officielle hjemmesi-
der.
…
Bahrain: Ambassadens henvendelse jf. pkt. 2 er ikke blevet besvaret af Bah-
rains myndigheder, og telefoniske rykkere har ikke afhjulpet sagen. Ambassaden
vurderer, at det er udsigtsløst at afvente yderligere. Kontrahering af en advokat i
Bahrain til at forestå denne afstemning vurderes at være den eneste realistiske
fremgangsmåde, hvorpå det kan bekræftes, at der ikke er foretaget ændringer i lo-
ven efter 2014. Den vedhæftede lovtekst indeholder den oprindelige lovtekst samt
en lovændring fra sommeren 2014. ”
Udlændinge-, Integrations- og Boligministeriet kan i den forbindelse oplyse, at ministeriet
af denne uofficielle oversættelse af den bahrainske statsborgerskabslov bl.a. kan udlede,
at bahrainsk statsborgerskab erhverves på baggrund af afstamning, når den pågældende
er:
- Født i Bahrain af en bahrainsk far.
- Født uden for Bahrain af en bahrainsk far, såfremt faren eller bedstefaren er født i
Bahrain.
- Født i Bahrain eller i udlandet af en bahrainsk mor, hvis faren er ukendt, statsløs el-
ler, hvis faderskabet ikke er underbygget.
Udlændinge-, Integrations- og Boligministeriet kan endvidere af loven udlede, at bahrainsk
statsborgerskab erhverves ved fødslen, når den pågældende er:
- Født i Bahrain, og dennes far også er født i Bahrain og har taget permanent ophold i
landet på tidspunktet for fødslen, og vedkommende ikke besidder anden nationali-
tet.
- Født i Bahrain af ukendte forældre.
Udlændinge-, Integrations- og Boligministeriet kan derudover af loven udlede, at bah-
rainsk statsborgerskab kan erhverves ved naturalisation, såfremt den pågældende er
myndig og opfylder visse betingelser vedrørende ophold, god opførsel, sprogkundskaber
og ejerskab af fast ejendom. Det fremgår endvidere, at statsborgerskab ved naturalisation
sker efter kongelig resolution.
Side 5/20
Udlændinge-, Integrations- og Boligministeriet kan af loven endelig udlede, at bahrainsk
statsborgerskab erhverves ved indgåelse af ægteskab med en bahrainsk mand.

ændringsloven fra 2014 er vedlagt som bilag 1 og 2.
Egypten
Udenrigsministeriet har oplyst følgende:

gere spørgsmål 47 IFU alm. del og spørgsmål 7 IFU alm. del vedr. hvilke krav,
der skal være opfyldt for at opnå statsborgerskab i en række udvalgte lande, følger

fødsret. Informationerne er tilvejebragt via stedlig advokat.”
Følgende fremgår af det fra ambassaden fremsendte bidrag:
” Rules and procedures for acquiring an Egyptian citizenship
Please find here below the legalization about how to become an Egyptian citizen,
or the formal demands and specific rules for acquiring that citizenship. All appli-
cants must meet the following criteria:
1. 10 consecutive years of residence in Egypt.
2. Must be aged 21 or over. Children aged under 21 normally obtain Egyptian citi-
zenship automatically at the same time a responsible parent is naturalized.
3. Should be mentally sane and suffering from no disability rendering him a bur-
den on society.
4. Should be of a good conduct and reputation, and that no criminal penalty or
penalty restricting his freedom should have been passed against him in a crime
against honour, unless he has been rehabilitated.
5. Should be acquainted with the Arabic language.
6. Should have a legal means of earning his living.
7. The Egyptian Nationality may be granted by Presidential decree, without being
bound by the restrictions set out under the law, to any foreigner who renders
honourable services to Egypt, as well as to the heads of the Egyptian religious
sects.
8. By marriage: Wives of Egyptian citizens (but not husbands of Egyptian citizens)
can apply for citizenship (with the consent of the Egyptian husband) and ac-
quire the citizenship after two years provided that the marriage is not termi-
nated, except in case of the husband’s death. However the Ministry of Interior
may issue a justified decree depriving the wife from acquiring the Egyptian na-
Side 6/20
tionality, before the lapse of the two years stipulated herein, but such rejec-
tion can be disputed at court.
9. By Birth in Egypt:
1) Those who were born in Egypt to an Egyptian mother, and a father whose
nationality is unknown or who is stateless at the time of birth.
2) Those who were born in Egypt, to an Egyptian mother but their kinship to
the father has not been proved legally.
3) Those that were born in Egypt to unknown parents.
10. By Birth to an Egyptian Parent:
1) Those who were born to an Egyptian parent
2) Those who were born abroad, of an Egyptian mother, and of an unknown fa-
ther, or a stateless father, or a father whose nationality is unknown, if he
chooses the Egyptian nationality, within one year from the date he comes of
age, provided he shall advise the Minister of Interior of his choice, after making
his ordinary residence in Egypt, and the minister of Interior does not object
thereto within one year from the date of the advice is received by the Minister.
11. To whoever belongs to an Egyptian origin whenever he applies for Egyptian na-
tionality after 5 years of ordinary residence in Egypt, provided he has already
attained full age at the time he submits the application.
“Egyptian origin” means for the requirements of this law any Egyptian in whose
case the absence of the residence element required in respect of him, his father or
husband, or inability to establish such a residence support has forestalled recogni-
tion for him of the Egyptian nationality, if one of his ancestors or the ancestors of
the husband was born in Egypt.
It is worth mentioning here that a non-Egyptian who has acquired the Egyptian na-
tionality:
(a) shall not be entitled to exercising political rights before the lapse of 5 years
from the date he acquires the nationality.
(b) he may not be elected or appointed a member of any parliamentary body be-
fore the lapse of 10 years from the said date.
However, by Presidential decree, he may be exempted from the first restriction, or
both restrictions combined, those who have joined the Egyptian Armed Forces and
fought in their ranks, from the first restriction or both restrictions combined.”

af de seneste lovændringer.”
Udlændinge-, Integrations- og Boligministeriet kan i den forbindelse oplyse, at ministeriet

- Født i udlandet af en israelsk far eller mor, når vedkommende erhverver israelsk
statsborgerskab ved bl.a. tilbagevenden til Israel, bopæl i Israel, naturalisation el-
ler adoption.
Udlændinge-, Integrations- og Boligministeriet kan endvidere af loven udlede, at israelsk
statsborgerskab kan erhverves af en person, som er født statsløs i Israel, hvis den pågæl-
dende ansøger herom efter det fyldte 18. år og inden det fyldte 21. år, og såfremt ved-
kommende har haft bopæl i Israel i en sammenhængende periode på 5 år umiddelbart
inden indgivelse af en ansøgning. Ansøgningen kan dog afvises, hvis den pågældende er
fundet skyldig i en forbrydelse mod statens sikkerhed eller er blevet idømt fængselsstraf
på 5 år eller derover for en anden strafbar handling.
Udlændinge-, Integrations- og Boligministeriet kan derudover af loven udlede, at israelsk
statsborgerskab kan erhverves ved naturalisation, såfremt den pågældende opfylder visse
betingelser vedrørende alder, ophold, sprog, løsning fra hidtidigt statsborgerskab og afgi-
velse af loyalitetserklæring. I særlige i loven angivne tilfælde vil der kunne dispenseres fra
visse af ovenstående betingelser.
Udlændinge-, Integrations- og Boligministeriet kan endelig af loven udlede, at israelsk
statsborgerskab kan erhverves ved naturalisation af en ægtefælle til en israelsk statsbor-
ger eller en person, som opfylder eller har fået dispensation fra betingelserne for naturali-
sation, selvom den pågældende ikke opfylder naturalisationsbetingelserne.

Libyen
Udenrigsministeriet har oplyst følgende:
”Til brug for UIBM's udarbejdelse af svar på FT spørgsmål 37 IFU alm. del, jfr. tidli-
gere spørgsmål 47 IFU alm. del og spørgsmål 7 IFU alm. del vedr. hvilke krav, der
skal være opfyldt for at opnå statsborgerskab i en række udvalgte lande, følger
hermed informationer indhentet via ambassaden i Rabat om indfødsretslovgivnin-
gen, for så vidt angår Marokko og Libyen.
Det bemærkes, at Danmark ikke har udsendte el. anden repræsentation i Libyen,
og de diplomatiske forbindelser med Libyen varetages for tiden af Mellemøst- og
Nordafrika kontoret i Udenrigsministeriet.
Materialet vedrørende opnåelse af statsborgerskab i de to nævnte lande baserer
sig på offentligt tilgængelig web-information, herunder fra stedlige myndigheders
hjemmesider. Som følge af den nuværende situation i Libyen har det ikke været
muligt for ambassaden via stedlige kilder eller den libyske repræsentation i Marok-
ko at validere de udfundne oplysninger, hvorfor der tages forbehold for ændringer
og administration af praksis på området.”
Følgende fremgår af det fra ambassaden fremsendte bidrag:
”NATIONALITY: Libya
In May 2010 ‘Law number (24) on The Libyan Nationality’ was adopted. This law is
currently still in force.
2.1 Right to Nationality
Article 2 of the Nationality Law stipulates that:
Every person with regular residency in Libya since 7 October 1951, without any
other foreign nationality, is considered Libyan if one of the following conditions is
applicable to him/her:
• He/she is born in Libya
• He/she is born outside Libya but one of his/her parents is born in Libya
• He/she is born outside Libya but resided regularly in Libya for a period not less
than 10 years before 07/10/1951
Article 3 adds that a person is also considered Libyan if:
• He/she is born in Libya to a Libyan father
• He/she is born outside Libya to a Libyan father
• He/she is born in Libya to a Libyan mother and a father that either has an un-
known nationality or who is stateless. Or his/her parents are unknown
…
2.3 Reacquisition of Nationality
According to article 8 of the Law on Nationality, it is possible to reacquire the Liby-
an nationality for a person who obtained nationality of the country he/she emi-
grated to. The person needs to submit documents that prove his/her Libyan origin.
Article 7 lists the following conditions for establishing Libyan origin:
Side 11/20
• Proof of Libyan origin depends on authenticated documents
• Libyan authorities will issue a decision on the needed documents to prove Libyan
origin; witness testimonies are not considered proof.
• The applicant for Libyan nationality must be registered in the registry of Libyan
authorities in the country that he immigrated to and resided in.
More information on the exact procedure to reacquire Libyan nationality has not
been found.
…
2.5 Right for Libyan Women to Pass on Nationality
According to article 3 of the Nationality Law, a Libyan mother can only pass on her
nationality to her child if the child is born in Libya and the father’s nationality is ei-
ther unknown or he is stateless. This article in fact excludes children of Libyan
mothers and non-Libyan fathers from Libyan citizenship. This, however, seems to
contradict article 11 which states that the children of a Libyan mother who is mar-
ried to a non-Libyan can obtain Libyan nationality. No information has been found
on what happens in a situation like this in practise. It remains ambiguous what the
actual rights of Libyan women are regarding the possibility to pass on their nation-
ality to their children if their husbands are not Libyan. Different sources have dif-
ferent interpretations of these articles. No information regarding the actual imple-
mentation of these articles has been found. This seems to support the suggestion
by one media source that the Ministry of Interior is so far refusing to put the law in
this regard into practise.
2.6 Mixed Marriages
2.6.1 Libyan Men with Foreign Spouses
Libyan men can get married to non-Libyan women without restrictions. Their chil-
dren are automatically considered Libyan. This is even the case if they are born
abroad and never obtained a Libyan birth certificate or passport, according to one
source. Foreign women married to Libyan men can apply for Libyan nationality
when they have been married for more than two years. Several sources mention
that foreign women (used to) have to renounce their nationality before acquiring
the Libyan one. Palestinian women married to Libyan men can also acquire Libyan
nationality (unlike Palestinian men married to Libyan women).
2.6.2 Libyan Women with Foreign Spouses
Libyan women must obtain permission from the government to marry non-Libyan
men, according to one source. It also states that they are often confronted with dif-
ficulties and harassment when trying to get the permission. Information on the
procedure of obtaining the government permission has not been found. In 2013
the grand mufti, Sheikh Sadeq al-Ghariani, issued a fatwa against Libyan women
marrying foreigners, claiming the foreigners married Libyan women and made
them convert to other religions. The Ministry of Social Affairs endorsed the fatwa
by suspending issuance of marriage licences. Suspension of the marriage licences is
meant to be a temporary measure until proper laws and regulations are in place.
No information was found regarding cancellation of it which suggests there are still
no marriage licences issued until today. The previous nationality law and its
amendments made it possible for Libyan women to marry foreigners without losing
their Libyan nationality, but they could not pass it on to their children, according to
Human Rights Watch. This made it impossible for these families to obtain the offi-
cial documentation they needed to gain access to state services like medical care,
subsidized food and allowances the state would grant after a child was born. As
Side 12/20
stated above, Libyan women cannot pass their nationality on to their husbands,
and it remains unclear whether or not they can give their children Libyan nationali-
ty. Palestinian men are specifically mentioned in the Nationality law as being una-
ble to obtain Libyan nationality even if they are married to Libyan women.

”Morocco
Rules and procedures for acquiring citizenship
The most recent reform to the Citizenship Code, introduced by Mohammed VI was
enacted in 2007.
The acquisition of Moroccan citizenship at birth
Morocco grants citizenship to mixed couples’ children born to a male or a female
citizen and a foreign national, whatever the birthplace (art.6)19. Henceforth, chil-
dren born to a Moroccan mother and a foreign father will receive the citizenship of
both of their parents. They are dual citizens at birth, as is the child born to a Mo-
roccan father and a foreign woman. The 2007 reform retains the grant of the citi-
zenship to the child born in Morocco to unknown parents (art.7), but does not ex-
tend it to the child born in Morocco to two stateless parents.
The acquisition of Moroccan citizenship after birth
There is a right for the child born in Morocco to foreign parents also born in Mo-
rocco to become a citizen after the entering into force of the initial citizenship
code, if he/she usually and regularly lives in the country and presents a declaration
within the two years before coming of age (18 years old). An option also exists, at
any age, for the child born in Morocco to foreign parents if the father, born there at
any time, is from a country where the majority of the population is Muslim and
speaks Arabic and if he belongs to this community. Furthermore, the Citizenship re-
form has introduced the possibility for a child, born abroad to unknown parents, to
become a national after five years or to opt for citizenship on his or her own two
years before coming of age (art.9-2).
The acquisition of Moroccan citizenship by marriage
Side 13/20
Women are unable to transmit their citizenship to their husband, and marrying a
Moroccan woman does not give any priority in terms of naturalisation or access to
citizenship. It may be considered as an element of integration to be taken into ac-
count in naturalisation. Only men can transmit citizenship through marriage. Mo-
rocco has strengthened the conditions needed for a foreign woman to obtain citi-
zenship where the period required before being allowed to submit an application
for Moroccan citizenship is five years (art.10), i.e. equal to the period required for
general naturalisation. Adult foreign nationals wishing to obtain Moroccan citizen-
ship are subject to the same residency requirement be they men or women,
though not the same procedure. The residence still has to be regular and usual, and
the declaration still has to be made during the marriage. Yet, if the marriage ends
after the declaration, it has no effect on the right to obtain citizenship.
The acquisition of Moroccan citizenship by naturalisation
Applicants are required to be of age (art.11); to have had his/her usual and regular
residency in Morocco for at least five years; to be sane of body and spirit (unless
the physical or mental disability is due to a service to the state); to be of good mor-
als; to have a sufficient knowledge of Arabic; and to have sufficient means of living.
Residency has to be established when the declaration is made, but now must still
be established when the request is decided upon (art.11-1). Becoming a national
does not imply renouncing the subject’s previous citizenship. Dual citizenship is tol-
erated and, indeed, widespread, provided that it is allowed by the origin country.
Naturalisation can still be removed within one year of the naturalisation act if con-
ditions go unfulfilled (art.14). The naturalisation can be extended to the naturalised
citizen’s non-married minors, but children over 16 can repudiate citizenship from
18 to 21 years of age (art.18). Morocco does not immediately grant new nationals
all the rights linked to citizenship, and in particular it does not grant political rights
for five years following naturalisation. New nationals have to wait five years before
being allowed to benefit from voting and eligibility rights in political elections and
also if they wish to work in the civil service (art.17). It thus keeps a distinction be-
tween nationality and citizenship and requires naturalised nationals to prove that
they deserve full citizenship with associated rights, and a place in protected areas
such as the political class and sensitive job positions.

Oman: Ambassadens henvendelse jf. pkt. 2 er ikke blevet besvaret af Omans myn-
digheder, og telefoniske rykkere har ikke afhjulpet sagen. Ambassaden vurderer, at
det er udsigtsløst at afvente yderligere. Kontrahering af en advokat i Oman til at fo-
restå denne afstemning vurderes at være den eneste realistiske fremgangsmåde,
hvorpå det kan bekræftes, at der ikke er foretaget ændringer i loven efter 2014.”
Udlændinge-, Integrations- og Boligministeriet kan i den forbindelse oplyse, at ministeriet
af denne uofficielle oversættelse af den omanske statsborgerskabslov bl.a. kan udlede, at
omansk statsborgerskab erhverves ved fødslen, når den pågældende er:
- Født i Oman eller i udlandet af en omansk far.
- Født i Oman eller i udlandet af en omansk mor, hvis faren har været omansk og
er blevet statsløs.
- Født i Oman eller i udlandet af en udenlandsk mor, hvis faderen har været
omansk og er blevet statsløs, såfremt ægteskabet har bestået forud for inden-
rigsministeriets godkendelse.
- Født i Oman eller i udlandet af en omansk mor, hvis der ikke foreligger bevis for
et legalt faderskab.
- Født i Oman af ukendte forældre.
Udlændinge-, Integrations- og Boligministeriet kan endvidere af loven bl.a. udlede, at
omansk statsborgerskab kan erhverves ved naturalisation, hvis den pågældende opfylder
visse betingelser vedrørende ophold, sprog, karakter, kriminalitet, helbred, lovligt ind-
tægtsgrundlag og erklæring om løsning fra hidtidigt statsborgerskab. Der gælder særlige
betingelser for erhvervelse af omansk statsborgerskab ved naturalisation, når den pågæl-
dende er eller har været gift med en omansk statsborger eller er en mindreårig søn af en
omansk mor og en udenlandsk far.

• It is very difficult to acquire Qatari nationality and it is almost impossible for
foreigners. Residents in Qatar are deemed Qatari nationality primarily upon
Side 15/20
the principle of jus sanguinis (right of blood).
• Foreigners do not have any legal rights regarding application for permanent
residence permit and they are not provided with guidelines on how to apply.
• According to article 2 in Law No. 38 of 2005 on the acquisition of Qatari na-
tionality, a non-Qatari may acquire Qatari nationality by decree of the Emir
and if they meet the following requirements:
1) A minimum of 25 years of residence and not being absent from Qatar for
more than two months in a single calendar year.
2) Lawful means of income.
3) Good repute and a clean criminal record.

siders responsum udarbejdet af ambassaden Ankara's advokat vedr. tyrkisk lovgiv-
ning om indfødsret.”
Udlændinge-, Integrations- og Boligministeriet kan i den forbindelse oplyse, at ministeriet
af dette responsum vedrørende tyrkisk lovgivning om indfødsret bl.a. kan udlede, at tyr-
kisk statsborgerskab erhverves ved fødslen på baggrund af afstamning, når den pågæl-
dende er født af en tyrkisk far eller mor. Afstamning mellem den pågældende og moren
etableres umiddelbart ved fødslen. Afstamning mellem den pågældende og faren etable-
res gennem ægteskab med moren, anerkendelse eller dom.
Udlændinge-, Integrations- og Boligministeriet kan endvidere af responsummet udlede, at
tyrkisk statsborgerskab erhverves ved fødslen på baggrund af territorialprincippet, når den
pågældende er:
- Født i Tyrkiet og ikke erhverver et andet statsborgerskab efter sine forældre.
- Født i Tyrkiet af ukendte forældre.
Udlændinge-, Integrations- og Boligministeriet kan derudover af responsummet udlede, at
tyrkisk statsborgerskab kan erhverves ved naturalisation, såfremt den pågældende opfyl-
der visse betingelser vedrørende myndighed, ophold, helbred, moralske værdier, sprog-
kundskaber og selvforsørgelse. Derudover må den pågældende ikke være i en situation,
hvor vedkommende udgør en hindring for den nationale sikkerhed eller offentlige orden.
Der gælder endvidere særlige regler for visse persongrupper, herunder personer, som har
indført industrianlæg til Tyrkiet eller som har udført eller forventes at ville udføre enestå-
ende tjenester indenfor de videnskabelige, teknologiske, økonomiske, sociale, sportslige,
kulturelle eller kunstneriske områder, personer, hvor tildeling af tyrkisk statsborgerskab
anses for at være uundgåeligt og personer, som vurderes at være immigranter. For perso-
ner omfattet af disse persongrupper, kan ministeriet udlede, at kun betingelsen om, at
den pågældende ikke må være i en situation, hvor vedkommende udgør en hindring for
den nationale sikkerhed eller offentlige orden gælder.
Udlændinge-, Integrations- og Boligministeriet kan af responsummet ligeledes udlede, at
tyrkisk statsborgerskab kan erhverves ved ansøgning, såfremt den pågældende har indgå-
et ægteskab med en tyrkisk statsboger, og ægteskabet har bestået i mindst 3 år og fortsat
består, at den pågældende lever i ægteskabet og ikke har aktiviteter, der er inkompatible
hermed. Derudover må den pågældende ikke være i en situation, hvor vedkommende
udgør en hindring for den nationale sikkerhed eller offentlige orden.

ge orden.

Udlændinge-, Integrations- og Boligministeriet kan i den forbindelse oplyse, at ministeriet
af denne uofficielle oversættelse af den yemenitiske statsborgerskabslov bl.a. har udledt,
at yemenitisk statsborgerskab erhverves ved fødslen, når den pågældende er:
- Født i Yemen eller i udlandet af en yemenitisk far eller mor
- Født i Yemen af ukendte forældre.
- Født af immigranter, som var yemenitiske statsborgere, da de forlod Yemen, og
som ikke ved ansøgning har erhvervet statsborgerskab i et andet land.
Reglerne om erhvervelse af yemenitisk statsborgerskab ved fødslen blev ændret ved en
lovændring fra 2010. Før denne lovændring trådte i kraft sondredes der mellem, om en
person var født af en yemenitisk far eller mor.
Side 20/20
Udlændinge-, Integrations- og Boligministeriet har endvidere af loven udledt, at yemeni-
tisk statsborgerskab kan erhverves ved naturalisation til følgende personer:
- Enhver, der er født i udlandet af en yemenitisk og en far, hvis statsborgerskab er
ukendt, eller som er statsløs, hvis den pågældende har taget lovligt ophold i Ye-
men i en uafbrudt periode på 10 år, såfremt vedkommende ansøger om yemeni-
tisk statsborgerskab indgives senest inden for et år efter det fyldte 18. år.
- Enhver, der er født i Yemen af udenlandske forældre, hvis den pågældende op-
fylder visse betingelser vedrørende ophold, sprog, mentaltilstand, karakter og
kriminalitet, såfremt vedkommende ansøger om yemenitisk statsborgerskab se-
nest inden for et år efter det fyldte 18. år.
- Enhver, der er født i Yemen af en far, der ikke er yemenitisk statsborger, men
som er født i Yemen.
- Enhver, der har ydet stor tjeneste til Yemen eller til den arabiske nation.
- Enhver, der er af yemenitisk oprindelse, hvis den pågældende ansøger om yeme-
nitisk statsborgerskab efter 5 års ophold, såfremt vedkommende fremkommer
med bevis for, at farfaren var indbygger i Yemen, og angiver at ville løses fra alle
andre nationaliteter ved erhvervelse af yemenitisk statsborgerskab.
Udlændinge-, Integrations- og Boligministeriet har derudover af loven udledt, at yemeni-
tisk statsborgerskab kan erhverves ved naturalisation, når den pågældende ikke er omfat-
tet af ovenstående bestemmelser, såfremt den pågældene opfylder visse betingelser ved-
rørende alder, ophold, karakter og kriminalitet, lovligt indtægtsgrundlag og sprog eller
profession.
Udlændinge-, Integrations- og Boligministeriet har endelig af loven udledt, at yemenitisk
statsborgerskab kan erhverves af en udenlandsk kvinde ved ægteskab med en yemenitisk
mand, hvis den pågældende indgiver en ansøgning herom til indenrigsministeren, ægte-
skabet har bestået i 4 år og hverken indenrigsministeren eller ægtefællen fremkommer
med en indsigelse hertil.

Amiri Decree No. (15) for the year 1959, the Kuwaiti Nationality Act
We Abdullah Al-Salem Al-Sabah, Amir of Kuwait,
Upon the submission of the chief of police and public security departments,
We decided the following law:
Article 1
(Issued by the Emiri decree No. 15 of 1959)
Original Kuwaiti nationals are those persons who were settled in Kuwait prior
to 1920 and who maintained their normal residence there until the date of the
publication of this Law. Ancestral residence shall be deemed complementary
to the period of residence of descendants.
A person is deemed to have maintained his normal residence in Kuwait even
if he resides in a foreign country if he has the intention of returning to Kuwait.
Article 2
(Issued by the Emiri decree No. 15 of 1959)
Any person born in, or outside, Kuwait whose father is a Kuwaiti national shall
be a Kuwaiti national himself.
Article 3
(Amended by Law No. 40 of 1987)
Kuwaiti nationality is acquired by any person born in Kuwait whose parents
are unknown. A foundling is deemed to have been born in Kuwait unless the
contrary is proved.
Kuwaiti nationality may be granted by Decree upon the recommendation of
the Minister of the Interior to any person [upon his attaining his majority who
was] born in, or outside, Kuwait to a Kuwaiti mother whose father is unknown
or whose kinship to his father has not been legally established. The Minister
of the Interior may afford to such children, being minors, the same treatment
as that afforded to Kuwaiti nationals until they reach their majority.
Article 4
(Amended by Law No. 1 of 1982)
Kuwaiti nationality may be granted by Decree upon the recommendation of
the Minister of the Interior to any person of full age satisfying the following
conditions:

2
1. That he has lawfully resided in Kuwait for at least 20 consecutive years or
for at least 15 consecutive years if he is an Arab belonging to an Arab
country. The requirement of consecutive residence shall not be affected if the
applicant leaves Kuwait on official business. If he leaves for a reason other
than that of official business, but retains the intention of returning, the period
spent abroad shall be deducted from the total period of his residence in
Kuwait;
2. That he has lawful means of earning his living, is of good character and
has not been convicted of an honor-related crime or of an honesty-related

5. That he be an original Muslim by birth, or that he has converted to Islam
according to the prescribed rules and procedures and that a period of at least
5 years has passed since he embraced Islam before the grant of
naturalization. Nationality thus acquired is ipso facto lost and the Decree of
naturalization rendered void ab initio if the naturalized person expressly
renounces Islam or if he behaves in such a manner as clearly indicates his
intention to abandon Islam. In any such case, the nationality of any
dependent of the apostate who had acquired it upon the naturalization of the
apostate is also rendered void.
A Committee of Kuwaiti national, appointed by the Minister of the Interior,
shall select from those who apply for naturalization, the applicants whom it
recommends for naturalization in accordance with the provisions of this
Article.

recommendation of the Minister of the Interior:
1. Any person who has rendered valuable services to Kuwait;
2. any person [upon his attaining his majority who was] born to a Kuwaiti
mother and who has maintained his residence [in Kuwait] until reaching the
age of majority and whose foreign father has irrevocably divorced his mother
or has died. The Minister of the Interior may afford to such children, being
minors, the same treatment as that afforded to Kuwaiti nationals in all
respects until they reach the age of majority;

Kuwait since before 1945 and has maintained his residence there until the

The number of persons who may be naturalized in any one year in
accordance with the provisions of paragraphs 3 and 4 of this Article shall be

any of Articles 3, 4, 5, 7 or 8 of this Law shall not have the right to vote in any
Parliamentary election within 30 years following the date of his naturalization.
The provisions of this Article shall apply to any who have already acquired

amendment. The 30 year period shall be deemed to start to run in the case of
such persons from 6 July 1966.

themselves acquire ipso facto the nationality of the State according to the law
of which their father has become naturalized if that law so provides. Such
children shall reacquire Kuwaiti nationality upon their informing the Minister of
the Interior within two years following their attaining the age of majority of
their wish to do so.

NATIONALITY: Libya
In May 2010 ‘Law number (24) on The Libyan Nationality’ was adopted. This law is currently
still in force.
2.1 Right to Nationality
Article 2 of the Nationality Law stipulates that:
Every person with regular residency in Libya since 7 October 1951, without any other foreign
nationality, is considered Libyan if one of the following conditions is applicable to him/her:
• He/she is born in Libya
• He/she is born outside Libya but one of his/her parents is born in Libya
• He/she is born outside Libya but resided regularly in Libya for a period not less than 10 years
before 07/10/1951
Article 3 adds that a person is also considered Libyan if:
• He/she is born in Libya to a Libyan father
• He/she is born outside Libya to a Libyan father
• He/she is born in Libya to a Libyan mother and a father that either has an unknown
nationality or who’s stateless. Or his/her parents are unknown
2.2 Renunciation and Loss of Nationality
No articles in the Libyan Nationality Law concern renunciation of Libyan nationality.
The Nationality Law states that a Libyan citizen can lose his/her nationality if he/she obtains a
foreign nationality without prior permission of the Libyan authorities. Further information on
how to obtain permission from the authorities is not provided in the law and has not been
found elsewhere. Also, obtaining the Libyan nationality based on false information, forged
documents and/or withholding relevant information concerning one’s nationality is one of the
reasons mentioned that could lead to revoking the Libyan nationality by the authorities.
Furthermore, if a father loses his Libyan nationality, consequently so do his children. What
happens if the mother is Libyan as well and how this relates to the last bullet under article 3,
as mentioned in the section above, remains unclear. Article13 of the Nationality Law states two
more reasons for Libyan nationality to be revoked: 1) if within ten years of obtaining
nationality the person has acted against the interests of Libya, 2) if the person within those ten
years has resided outside Libya for reasons that were not approved by the authorities. Possible
reasons that could be approved or disapproved of are not listed in the law.
2.3 Reacquisition of Nationality
According to article 8 of the Law on Nationality, it is possible to reacquire the Libyan
nationality for a person who obtained nationality of the country he/she emigrated to. The
person needs to submit documents that prove his/her Libyan origin.
Article 7 lists the following conditions for establishing Libyan origin:
Indfødsretsudvalget 2015-16
IFU Alm.del endeligt svar på spørgsmål 37
Offentligt
• Proof of Libyan origin depends on authenticated documents
• Libyan authorities will issue a decision on the needed documents to prove Libyan origin;
witness testimonies are not considered proof.
• The applicant for Libyan nationality must be registered in the registry of Libyan authorities in
the country that he immigrated to and resided in.
More information on the exact procedure to reacquire Libyan nationality has not been found.
Dual Nationality
It is legally possible for Libyans to have dual nationality. The Nationality Law stipulates that a
Libyan citizen can obtain permission from the Libyan government to acquire a foreign
nationality. No articles in the Nationality Law concern renunciation of Libyan nationality. Article
11 might be interpreted as a possibility for dual nationality for children of a Libyan mother who
is married to a non-Libyan father. Dual nationality is in fact very common in Libya. Many
ministers and other influential people are dual nationals. One source speaks of tens of
thousands of dual nationals who were forced to flee Libya during the Qadhafi regime because
they faced persecution. Currently there seems to be a national discussion regarding the
position in post-Qadhafi Libya of those Libyans who do have dual nationality. The discussion is
about whether or not dual nationals should be allowed to acquire important positions. In
August 2014 a law was passed by the National Congress that disallows people with dual
nationality to hold the position of speaker of congress or that of his deputy. Also, members of
Congress with non-Libyan spouses cannot occupy high posts, according to the new law.
Congress wishes to extend this law to include government officials and officials in the near
future. One source mentions that dual Libyan-American nationals may not enter or leave Libya
on their U.S. passports and must obtain a Libyan travel document before travelling to Libya.
This automatically means that the local authorities will treat them as Libyans despite their
other nationality. It seems likely that the same goes for people with other than American
nationalities, but no information was found to corroborate this.
2.5 Right for Libyan Women to Pass on Nationality
According to article 3 of the Nationality Law, a Libyan mother can only pass on her nationality
to her child if the child is born in Libya and the father’s nationality is either unknown or he is
stateless. This article in fact excludes children of Libyan mothers and non-Libyan fathers from
Libyan citizenship. This, however, seems to contradict article 11 which states that the children
of a Libyan mother who is married to a non-Libyan can obtain Libyan nationality. No
information has been found on what happens in a situation like this in practise. It remains
ambiguous what the actual rights of Libyan women are regarding the possibility to pass on
their nationality to their children if their husbands are not Libyan. Different sources have
different interpretations of these articles. No information regarding the actual implementation
of these articles has been found. This seems to support the suggestion by one media source
that the Ministry of Interior is so far refusing to put the law in this regard into practise.
2.6 Mixed Marriages
2.6.1 Libyan Men with Foreign Spouses
Libyan men can get married to non-Libyan women without restrictions. Their children are
automatically considered Libyan. This is even the case if they are born abroad and never
obtained a Libyan birth certificate or passport, according to one source. Foreign women
married to Libyan men can apply for Libyan nationality when they have been married for more
than two years. Several sources mention that foreign women (used to) have to renounce their
nationality before acquiring the Libyan one. Palestinian women married to Libyan men can also
acquire Libyan nationality (unlike Palestinian men married to Libyan women).
2.6.2 Libyan Women with Foreign Spouses
Libyan women must obtain permission from the government to marry non-Libyan men,
according to one source. It also states that they are often confronted with difficulties and
harassment when trying to get the permission. Information on the procedure of obtaining the
government permission has not been found. In 2013 the grand mufti, Sheikh Sadeq al-
Ghariani, issued a fatwa against Libyan women marrying foreigners, claiming the foreigners
married Libyan women and made them convert to other religions. The Ministry of Social Affairs
endorsed the fatwa by suspending issuance of marriage licences. Suspension of the marriage
licences is meant to be a temporary measure until proper laws and regulations are in place. No
information was found regarding cancellation of it which suggests there are still no marriage
licences issued until today. The previous nationality law and its amendments made it possible
for Libyan women to marry foreigners without losing their Libyan nationality, but they could
not pass it on to their children, according to Human Rights Watch. This made it impossible for
these families to obtain the official documentation they needed to gain access to state services
like medical care, subsidized food and allowances the state would grant after a child was born.
As stated above, Libyan women cannot pass their nationality on to their husbands, and it
remains unclear whether or not they can give their children Libyan nationality. Palestinian men
are specifically mentioned in the Nationality law as being unable to obtain Libyan nationality
even if they are married to Libyan women.

Morocco
Rules and procedures for acquiring citizenship
The most recent reform to the Citizenship Code, introduced by Mohammed VI was enacted in 2007.
The acquisition of Moroccan citizenship at birth
Morocco grants citizenship to mixed couples’ children born to a male or a female citizen and a foreign national,
whatever the birthplace (art.6)19. Henceforth, children born to a Moroccan mother and a foreign father will receive the
citizenship of both of their parents. They are dual citizens at birth, as is the child born to a Moroccan father and a
foreign woman. The 2007 reform retains the grant of the citizenship to the child born in Morocco to unknown parents
(art.7), but does not extend it to the child born in Morocco to two stateless parents.
The acquisition of Moroccan citizenship after birth
There is a right for the child born in Morocco to foreign parents also born in Morocco to become a citizen after the
entering into force of the initial citizenship code, if he/she usually and regularly lives in the country and presents a
declaration within the two years before coming of age (18 years old). An option also exists, at any age, for the child
born in Morocco to foreign parents if the father, born there at any time, is from a country where the majority of the
population is Muslim and speaks Arabic and if he belongs to this community. Furthermore, the Citizenship reform has
introduced the possibility for a child, born abroad to unknown parents, to become a national after five years or to opt for
citizenship on his or her own two years before coming of age (art.9-2).
The acquisition of Moroccan citizenship by marriage
Women are unable to transmit their citizenship to their husband, and marrying a Moroccan woman does not give any
priority in terms of naturalisation or access to citizenship. It may be considered as an element of integration to be taken
into account in naturalisation. Only men can transmit citizenship through marriage. Morocco has strengthened the
conditions needed for a foreign woman to obtain citizenship where the period required before being allowed to submit
an application for Moroccan citizenship is five years (art.10), i.e. equal to the period required for general naturalisation.
Adult foreign nationals wishing to obtain Moroccan citizenship are subject to the same residency requirement be they
men or women, though not the same procedure. The residence still has to be regular and usual, and the declaration still
has to be made during the marriage. Yet, if the marriage ends after the declaration, it has no effect on the right to obtain
citizenship.
The acquisition of Moroccan citizenship by naturalisation
Applicants are required to be of age (art.11); to have had his/her usual and regular residency in Morocco for at least five
years; to be sane of body and spirit (unless the physical or mental disability is due to a service to the state); to be of
good morals; to have a sufficient knowledge of Arabic; and to have sufficient means of living. Residency has to be
established when the declaration is made, but now must still be established when the request is decided upon (art.11-1).
Becoming a national does not imply renouncing the subject’s previous citizenship. Dual citizenship is tolerated and,
indeed, widespread, provided that it is allowed by the origin country. Naturalisation can still be removed within one
year of the naturalisation act if conditions go unfulfilled (art.14). The naturalisation can be extended to the naturalised
citizen’s non-married minors, but children over 16 can repudiate citizenship from 18 to 21 years of age (art.18).
Morocco does not immediately grant new nationals all the rights linked to citizenship, and in particular it does not grant
political rights for five years following naturalisation. New nationals have to wait five years before being allowed to
benefit from voting and eligibility rights in political elections and also if they wish to work in the civil service (art.17).
It thus keeps a distinction between nationality and citizenship and requires naturalised nationals to prove that they
deserve full citizenship with associated rights, and a place in protected areas such as the political class and sensitive job
positions.
External citizenship
Moroccan legislation allows dual citizenship, since no provision hinders a Moroccan citizen from acquiring another
citizenship, nor demands authorization. A Moroccan acquiring citizenship abroad is said to be allowed to ask
permission to renounce his/her Moroccan citizenship (art.19-1). Likewise, a Moroccan citizen, even a minor, might be
Indfødsretsudvalget 2015-16
IFU Alm.del endeligt svar på spørgsmål 37
Offentligt
allowed to renounce to her/his Moroccan citizenship if he/she has another citizenship of origin (art.19-2). The 2007
reform has introduced a simplified procedure, limited to mixed couples’ children born to a Moroccan mother, for
repudiating citizenship upon declaration, regardless of birthplace or place of residence (art.19).
