Abstract
This comparative section combines the information from each of the country reports put together by country experts on their state’s citizenship law. The countries included are Austria, Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, Latvia, the Netherlands, Portugal, Sweden, and the United Kingdom. This section compares several aspects of the citizenship laws of these states, namely: 1) residence-based naturalisation; 2) citizenship acquisition based on residence/schooling during childhood; 3) citizenship acquisition based on birth in the country; 4) procedures for citizenship acquisition; and 5) information and advice offered by the state to potential applicants. Overall, this section offers general comparisons of the citizenship laws of these eleven states, many of which have exceptions, specificities, or further particularities which are outlined in more detail in the individual country reports.
