My great great grandparents are from Spain is it possible to get dual citizenship if I'm a US citizen?

Answer 1

Londonhawks answer is partially correct, except that there is no longer obligatory military service in Spain. The draft dissapeared several years ago. (1995 if I remember correctly) The spanish armed forces are now all career people.

You might still lose your U.S. citizenship though, but you should go to your local authorities to check out how that could possibly happen..

Your best bet is to contact the spanish consulate closest to you, or the spanish Embassy in D.C. for more complete and exact information.
Buena Suerte!

Answer 2

Spain does not recognise dual citizenship, though the united does. If your parents were Americans in Spain and you were born there, you would not have sworn an oath to the united states, you would have gotten your citizenship automatically and you would have a Spanish birth certificate making you automatically Spaniard.

In your case, if you could prove ancestry, you could spanish nationality, but they do draft for military service and you could possibly lose your American citizenship if they make you swear an oath to Spain.

Answer 3

Usually, for a EU member country, you have to have one or two grandparents to have been a Spanish citizen.

Most countries in the world require one parent.

You are about three to four generations too late.

Answer 4

Your large large Grandparents the place no longer US electorate, at that factor. Slave did no longer carry citizenship, they gained it after the Civil war. however, they could have it then it could have been granted to the after the war, so did they immigrate till now or after the Civil war? the different concern is that the U. S. would not recognize duel citizenship, so whilst your relative grew to become Canadian electorate they gave up their US citizenship.

Answer 5

it depends entirely on laws of Spain.
