Types of Citizenship - TSV

Types of citizenship refer to the legal principles for acquiring nationality. They are primarily divided into two categories: 'jus soli' (right of soil) and 'jus sanguinis' (right of blood). Countries adopt or combine these principles to form their citizenship systems. Jus soli grants citizenship based on place of birth and is mainly adopted by countries in the Americas. Jus sanguinis grants citizenship to children based on their parents' nationality and is adopted by many countries in Europe and Asia. These principles are deeply connected to each country's history, immigration policy, and ethnic identity.
