Spanish nationality law - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Spanish nationality by origin
Spanish legislation regarding nationality establishes two types of nationality: "Spanish nationality by origin" (nacionalidad española de origen, in Spanish)that is, a "natural-born Spaniard"and the "Spanish nationality not by origin" (nacionalidad española no de origen in Spanish).
According to article 17 of the Spanish Civil Code, Spaniards by origin are:[5]
those individuals born of a Spanish parent;
those individuals born in Spain of foreign parents if at least one of the parents was also born in Spain, with the exception of children of foreign diplomatic or consular officers accredited in Spain;
those individuals born in Spain of foreign parents if neither of them have a nationality, or if the legislation of either parent's home country does not grant the child any nationality;
those individuals born in Spain of undetermined filiation; those individuals whose first known territory of residence is Spain, are considered born in Spain.
Foreigners under 18 years of age who are adopted by a Spanish national acquire, from the moment of adoption, Spanish nationality by origin.[6] If the adoptee is 18 years or older, he or she can apply (lit. "opt") for Spanish nationality by origin within two years after the adoption took place.[6]
All other individuals that acquire Spanish nationality, other than by which is specified above, are "Spaniards not by origin".
Spanish nationality by option
Article 20 of the Spanish Civil Code, established that the following individuals have the right to apply (lit. "to opt") for Spanish nationality:[7]
those individuals that were under the tutelage of a Spanish citizen,
those individuals whose father or mother had been originally Spanish and born in Spain (i.e. those individuals who were born after their parent(s) had lost Spanish nationality).
those individuals mentioned in the second bullet-point in article 17, and adopted foreigners of 18 years of age or more.
Spanish nationality by option must be claimed within two years after their 18th birthday or after their "emancipation", regardless of age. Spanish nationality by option does not confer "nationality by origin" unless otherwise specified (i.e. those mentioned in article 17, and those who obtained it through the Law of Historical Memory).
Spanish nationality by naturalisation and residence
Spanish nationality can be acquired by naturalisation, which is given only at the discretion of the government through a Royal Decree, and under exceptional circumstances.[8] Any individual can request the Spanish nationality by naturalisation, as long as he or she is 18 years or older, or through a legal representative if he or she is younger.[9]
Spanish nationality can also be acquired by residence in Spain. To apply for naturalisation by residence it is necessary for the individual to have lived in Spain for:[10]
ten years, or
five years if the individual is a refugee, or
two years if the individual is a national of a country of Iberoamerica, Andorra, Philippines, Equatorial Guinea, Portugal, or
one year for those individuals:
born in Spanish territory, or
those who did not exercise their right to their nationality by option within the established period of time, or
those who had been under legal tutelage or protection of a Spanish citizen or institution for two consecutive years,
those who had been married for one year to a Spanish national and are not separated legally or de facto, or
those widowers of a Spanish national if at the time of death they had not been legally or de facto separated, or
those born outside of Spain, if one of their parents or grandparents had been originally Spanish (i.e. Spanish by origin).
Nationals of Iberoamerica, Andorra, Philippines, Equatorial Guinea and Portugal must be natural born citizens of their respective countries. That is, individuals who acquire the nationality of the said countries by naturalisation would still have to live ten years in Spain before applying for nationality by residence

Spanish Jews date their arrival to Spain, anciently known as Iberia, Sefarad, Tartessos, Tarshish, or Hispania, in 4 waves. The first wave of Israelites arrived with Phoenician merchants in the 10th century B.C.E., because Tyre didn't have enough people to colonize their colonies and King Solomon had trade agreements with the Phoenician King Hiram of Tyre. During this period King Hiram set up trading colonies like Gades (Cadiz) in southern Spain then known as Tarshish or Tartessus, which he populated with Phoenician and Israelites. Later Jews referred to Spain as Seferad and the ships that went there as ships of Tarshish, that followed the old Phoenician trade route from Jaffa to Spain (Tartessos). This trade route initially started in Tyre, stopping in Jaffa and then following the Phoenician colonies in the North African Mediterranean coast until they reached the Phoenician colonies in Spain. Both King Solomon and King Hiram became rich, and as a result of this, the Phoenician king supplied materials for King Solomon to build the first Temple in Jerusalem. After the death of King Solomon, his kingdom split into the Kingdom of Israel (Samaria) and the Kingdom of Judah, who were at war with eachother until the Assyrian Empire conquered and annexed the Kingdom of Israel. The effect was the second wave of Israelites arriving in Spain as refugees sometime after 740 B.C.E., escaping the Assyrian captivity of Israel. The third wave of Jews into Spain came with Jewish refugees escaping Babylonian Captivity after the destruction of the first Temple some time around 597 B.C.E. These Jewish refugees boarded the ships of Tarshish alongside escaping Phoenician refugees bound for their Phoenician colonies in the Mediterranean coast and Spain (Iberia). A few of the Phoenician cities they settled were: Gadir, Abdera, Sexi, Malaka, Calpe (Gibraltar) Carteia, Tartessos, Onuba, Ebusus and Carmona[disambiguation needed]. These colonies would later unite to form what historians call ancient Carthage. Bolstering their claims are the prophecies of Obadiah who uses the name "Sefarad" for the land that Jews exiled from Jerusalem would live in Ovadiah 1:20 (trans. Nevi'im) "And this exiled host of the children of Israel who are [with] the Canaanites as far as Zarephath and the exile of Jerusalem which is in Sepharad shall inherit the cities of the southland" - Chabad.org. (see: Phoenicia). The fourth wave of Jewish immigration to Spain came after the destruction of the Second Temple in 70 A.D. by the Romans as Roman captives.
Back in 16 December 1968, those of Sephardic Jewish origin also had the right to apply for nationality after a year of legal residency in Spain. The motivation for these measures was a desire to repair a perceived injustice of the Alhambra Decree (also known as the Edict of Expulsion) issued on 31 March 1492, and the need of a collaborative base of natives in Spanish Morocco. During the Bosnian War between 1 March 1992 and 14 December 1995 the spanish government allowed any Sephardi in Bosnia and Herzegovina to claim spanish citizenship and the right of return. More recently, in November 22, 2012, Ministers of Justice and Foreign Affairs, Alberto Ruiz Gallardón and José Manuel García Margallo announced that the Spanish government would eliminate the residency period and allow any Sephardic Jews around the world automatic Spanish citizenship, permitting them to maintain dual citizenship, on the condition that such citizenship applicants present a certificate of their Sephardic status from the Federation of Jewish Communities to the Spanish Consulate.
