flag Italy tightens citizenship rules, limiting eligibility to those with direct ancestors born in Italy.

flag 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. flag This change aims to curb the abuse of the system and address the high demand for Italian passports, which offer visa-free travel. flag The new rules also require applicants to prove language proficiency and undergo in-person interviews. flag 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.
