Spanish citizenship to grandchildren and great-grandchildren of Spaniards
February 18, 2019The dream of the Spanish of grandchildren and great grandchildren to have Spanish citizenship is getting closer, because there are only a few days for it to be approved the new Spanish nationality law to grandchildren. The forecast is that the law is approved at the beginning of March 2019. With the anticipation of the Spanish election for president on 28 of April, the proposed law was not approved, and now it depends on the new government that will assume the presidency of Spain return to transact the bill.
A Spanish for Spanish citizenship to grandchildren today is only valid if the grandson of Spanish is less than 18 years, for example, his grandfather or grandmother were born in Spain and his father or his mother just like you were born in Brazil or any other country, you will only have the right to Spanish citizenship if you are under 18 years, with the new law being passed the age limit will no longer exist.
As the case of Spanish citizenship to Spanish great-grandchildren, the case is more difficult, but also possible with this new law, Here I comment on the case of my family, my sisters and I are grandchildren of Spanish, in 2009 we take our citizenship because between the years 2009 a 2011 the law was that the grandchildren over 18 years could get citizenship, my sisters have children and they are great-grandchildren of Spanish and still managed to get citizenship, they had less than 18 years, Another important thing is that the whole family has citizenship, first did my father take his citizenship, then immediately made my and, after my sisters did them and of my nephews, this is due for citizenship from father to son.

Spanish citizenship for great-grandchild can?
In the post above we explain whether or not
I would like to take my granddaughter and I am 42 years as I do?
Believe, as you already have more than 18 years, You have to wait for the approval of new law.
Oi Christian,
Any news? I took a sapeada in the Consulate site and nothing.
My mother is already a Spanish citizen for more than 4 years because my grandfather is Spanish. I get something through it since it already has citizenship for some time?
Thank you for your help!
The bill was not to vote and filed, It will only be discussed again in the future government of Spain.
Oi Christian,
My mother already has citizenship, have 49 years and now I'm interested in getting citizens.
There is news about the new law? And only chance I have is only residing in Spain?
Elizeu, the bill was not approved at this time, and it should take a few months or years to return the proposal to be discussed. With the current law, you must live in Spain to get citizenship.
Good Morning.
I wonder about the procedures and my chances of getting citizenship. My great-grandmother was born in Salamanca in Spain. The document I q is just the marriage certificate of my grandmother and neither she nor my mother took citizenship.
Thanks
hi Lidiane, without Spanish great-granddaughter the case is very difficult, you only could I understand the current law is all before you bring forth out the city, his father and mother and his grandfather or grandmother, because citizenship is hereditary.
Christian Priscila.Meus and great-grandparents are Spanish, and they were born and lived there. Then when they were young moved to Brazil and they faleceram.Minha grandfather who was the daughter already died tb. I get to take the citizenship? the birth certificate do not know if someone has more think so in Spain I can, the death certificate I have.
In the case of the great-grandson is very complicated, for citizenship passes from father to son, it is inherited, I would have all before you take the citizenship. So contact an aide to Spanish documents to see your case.
I already have Spanish citizenship and would like to take to my daughter, she has 16 years. What documents do I need to take at the Consulate, already have scheduling
Documents are, your marriage certificate, and the birth certificate of her, do it before she turns 18 years, You may lose the right.

I would take a doubt…
on this law approval grandchildren, any news?
My pulled off her with the help of a lawyer who has done everything correctly procedure is recently informed my mother that it was possible to enter via Spain and that he would there be received in our processes, it was at the end of last year,
and now we are no longer able to contact him.
I'm a blow and the worst thing is not the money he is to be in possession of my documents and worried to have taken.
there is the possibility of giving input by Spain ?
thanks
Good morning Fabiana,
The Spanish citizenship law to Spaniards grandchildren that is in place is that if you have more than 18 years to apply for citizenship have to live one year in Spain legally, this lawyer can try to make the process with this intention, requesting Citizenship for her mother stating that he is in Spain and live there legally. Has a tentative new law so that even grandchildren over 18 can take years to plumb citizenship outside of Spain. Now as she does not answer you is strange. The Lawyer is with original ducumentos?
Morning Christian
it's all right ??
I wonder if you have any news to great-grandchildren in the law now 2020 explain to me better??
I wonder about the procedures and my chances of getting citizenship.
Beside my mother I have my great-grandfather who was Portuguese from behind the mountains and my great-grandmother married to him Theodora Hernandes born in the city of Avare in Brazil but his parents were Spaniards who from what I know are of Salamanca in Spain.
Currently contains no document but would go back if possible of his documents so would aid her to understand how can I ask them document.
Their surname is part of the Spanish Hernande
My paternal grandfather was called Nicolas Hernande
Married to my paternal grandmother Patricia Rodrigues
The great-grandfather I have a call
Matheus Feliciano Hernande
Great-grandfather Joaquina Rodrigues
I wonder if my mother in the case would be entitled to do first her and then my and possible ??
Is there any way you could suggest to give input in this process ??
I would be delighted to find an alternative and solution to this.
I am look forward to your attention and thank you for
Thank you
To,
Piero
Piero, There is nothing new bill to citizenship of Spanisgh grandchildren, as in your case the origin of citizenship is of great grandfather, better to ask for a Spanish Documents consultancy
