Never heard of people applying for Iranian citizenship. However, I have heard of tens of thousands of Iranians applying for other foreign citizenship (U.S, Canada, UK, Australia, New Zealand, Kuwait, and UAE). There are 5 million, I repeat 5 million Iranians who have already left the Iranian heaven to live else where. They basically wanted to escape the disastrous outcome of the 1979 revolution.
When you light-headed Badou from Sandistan are going to stop making yourself embarrassed? At least study your point of discussion before jumping in an Iranian chill thread bringing up non-senses that is typical of you and people of your nationality?
4 or 5 million people with Iranian ethnicity is around %5 of Iranians who live abroad. Most of them are gays, lesbians, convertees, Bahais, Israeli Jews, highly educated scientists working in best research centers, and many who were in one way or another associated with pre-revolution Iranian kingdom and don't want to live in an Islamic society that has Islamic rules. Iran also has one of the highest levels of educated workforce that can not find jobs at home and this is only because of the early-revolution days of Iran where the birth rate was high. The immigration for better places according to personal standards of people has a history of millenniums and is not an Iranian thing at all. Iran comparing to other industrial nations is in a good position when it comes to the number of its nationals living abroad. There are lots of reasons for a person to decide to live somewhere else. You talk of %5 of Iranians living abroad as something special that you need to "Repeat!!"
while there are others with higher ratios among those who their heads worth being in its place. You talk like you are not from a shithole full of hot sands of empty-head wahhabis...Where women are not allowed to drive or get out of home without a Mahram male escorting her!! There are hundreds of thousands of other developed nations who immigrate to a better place to work or live every year.
- The term
Australian diaspora refers to the approximately 1,000,000
Australian citizens (approximately 5% of the population) who today live outside Australia.
[32] A survey in 2002 of Australians who were emigrating found that most were leaving for employment reasons.

- According to The
Foreign and Commonwealth Office there were 13.1 million British nationals living abroad in 2004–05. In terms of outbound expatriation, in 2009 the United Kingdom had the most expatriates among developed
OECD countries with more than three million British living abroad, followed by Germany and Italy.
[5] On an annual basis, emigration from Britain has stood at about 400,000 per year for the past 10 years.

-
Croatian diaspora refers to the
Croatian communities that have formed outside
Croatia. Estimates on its size are only approximate because of incomplete statistical records and
naturalization, but (highest) estimates suggest that the Croatian diaspora numbers between a third
[1] and a half
[2]of the total number of Croats.
- As of 2009, it is estimated that the diaspora includes over 30 million people, considerably more than the number of
French nationals living abroad, which is around 2 million. At the end of the 18th century,
French Emigration (1789-1815) was a massive movement of
émigrés mostly to neighboring European countries, as a result of the violence caused by the
French Revolution. but later emigration up until now is often associated with economic conditions.

The
Irish diaspora (
Irish:
Diaspóra na nGael) refers to
Irish people and their descendants who live outside
Ireland. By the 21st century, an estimated 80 million people worldwide claimed some Irish descent; which includes more than 36 million Americans who claim Irish as their primary ethnicity.
[3]
Religion remained the major cause of differentiation in all Irish diaspora communities and had the greatest impact on identity, followed by the nature and difficulty of socio-economic conditions faced in each new country and the strength of continued social and political links of Irish immigrants and their descendants with Ireland.
From the late 20th century onward, Irish identity abroad became increasingly cultural, non-denominational, and non-political, although many emigrants from Northern Ireland stood apart from this trend. However, Ireland as religious reference point is now increasingly significant in
neopagan contexts.

- The
Italian diaspora is the large-scale migration of
Italians away from Italy. In 2011 in the world there were 4,115,235 Italian citizens living outside
Italy[4] and several tens of millions of descendants of Italians, who emigrated in the last two centuries.

- In Turkey as well, the concept of diaspora has gained significance, and the situation has progressed in the same way it has in other countries. Particularly over the last 15 years, Turkey's six million citizens who live abroad have started to be defined as the Turkish diaspora. The low employment rate has become a serious issue for the Turkish community abroad. Unemployment rate among the Turkish community is above that of the host country’s average.
