Some people are simply Spanish citizens “by origin”, this being normally because they are born to a Spanish mother or father. Besides this possibility, the Spanish law contemplates the possibility to acquire Spanish citizenship via other qualifying routes.

Besides being Spanish by origin, Spanish law enables the possibility to acquire Spanish citizenship via other qualifying routes.

Amongst the routes are the “nationality by option” that allows a person to apply/opt for the Spanish citizenship when they have been subject to the parental authority of a Spanish national. 

The “nationality by residence”  can also be applied by by some persons who reside in Spain for ten years legally, continuously and immediately prior to the request or .by persons who reside only 1 year if at the time of application has been married to a Spanish national for one year and is not legally or de facto separated.

Fortunately, there also exists the possibility to recover Spanish nationality by some people who once lost it due to various individual circumstances.
