Citizenship by descent

Claiming a second citizenship through ancestry — parents, grandparents or sometimes further back.

Many countries grant citizenship to the descendants of their nationals. If you have Italian, Irish, Polish or many other ancestries, you may already be entitled to a second passport.

Why it matters

It's often the cheapest route to a powerful second citizenship — you're claiming a right you already hold, not buying one.
