The term for this is "citizenship by descent", in case anyone wants to look into it. Usually it will require that either your parents or grandparents were citizens when you were born.
- riffraff 12y agothanks, the expression I commonly heard was "jus sanguinis" in contrast with "jus soli" (citizenship by birthplace). But: in many cases it's not just close ancestors, i.e. you can get italian citizenship if you have _any_ ancestor who was born in italy since the 1800, as long as they didn't renounce it.
