Reasons for Acquiring and Effects of Losing Vatican City State Citizenship

Abstract

Vatican City State citizenship is a unique legal solution on a global scale, and its granting and nature differ from similar institutions in other countries. The article discusses the solutions and legal conditions for acquiring Vatican citizenship, as well as its duration and the consequences of possibly losing it based on the Act of February 22, 2011, N. CXXXI Legge sulla cittadinanza, la residenza e l’accesso, promulgated by Pope Benedict XVI, and on the practices of international law. An analysis was made of cases of acquiring Papal State citizenship and losing it, with a focus on the Apostolic Nunciatures staff. A view on the theoretical possibility of the primary acquisition of Vatican City State citizenship was also presented.

Keywords:

Vatican citizenship, Vatican City State, The Holy See, papal diplomacy
