Italy tightens citizenship rules, limiting eligibility to those with direct ancestors born in Italy.
Italy has tightened its citizenship rules, limiting eligibility to those with a parent or grandparent born in Italy, reducing the number of people who can claim citizenship based on distant Italian ancestry.
This change aims to curb the abuse of the system and address the high demand for Italian passports, which offer visa-free travel.
The new rules also require applicants to prove language proficiency and undergo in-person interviews.
Critics argue the previous system was too lenient, granting citizenship to those with minimal ties to Italy while excluding children of immigrants from birthright citizenship.
