South Cyprus Supreme Court: Marriage Does Not Guarantee Citizenship
The Supreme Court of the Republic of Cyprus has ruled that a foreign national who subsequently acquires Cypriot citizenship cannot automatically confer citizenship rights on a foreign spouse they marry after obtaining citizenship.
According to Haravgi newspaper, the Supreme Court upheld a ruling issued by a district court in a case brought against the Interior Ministry by a foreign national who had subsequently acquired citizenship of the Republic of Cyprus.
In a statement, the Legal Service of the Republic of Cyprus said that a foreign national’s subsequent acquisition of citizenship did not grant citizenship rights to a foreign spouse they married after obtaining citizenship.
The statement emphasised that specific criteria must be met for foreign nationals to acquire citizenship, adding that marriage to someone who subsequently obtains citizenship does not, in itself, confer a right to citizenship unless those criteria are fulfilled.
