Citizenship Question?
My father is from Norway , so he was a legal citizen , but then he moved to scotland and became a British Citizen , and he still is even though he is now living in the US.
Would it make it easier for me to become a Norwegian citizen in the future? I know you still have to live there for a certain amount of years , and pass tests.
Answer:
Generally speaking it's usually easier.. especially through you're born through wedlock and going through your father with the European countries (mother's can be a bit awkward depending on your age). I believe you may only qualify for what your father was at the time of your birth (if he was british at the time of your birth you can easily get a british passport) but in order to be sure you'd have to check with the embassy and the immigration department of the country you do have citizenship of (make sure you don't lose your current citizenship as well in the process or you may be in a tight spot).
Every country has its own citizenship acquisition laws. It is not a question of whether it is easier or not, it is a question of whether is it possible or not.
As relates to your situation, you would acquire Norwegian nationality at birth if your father is a Norwegian national and you were born in wedlock. If your mother is a foreign national, and you were born outside of wedlock, you could still acquire Norwegian nationality when they marry, provided that you are unmarried and under 18 years of age.
Bear in mind that Norway takes a hard look at dual nationalities, so be certain that you father actually was considered to be a Norwegian citizen at the time of your birth.
Edit: The question, I thought, was regarding Norwegian citizenship - if so, it is important to know if your father was considered a Norwegian citizen at the time of your birth, as well as the extent of the legal relationship he had with your mother.
