Q & A

What determines a person's citizenship status?

A person's citizenship status is determined by the laws of the country they are in. In Indonesia, it is based on the legal rules set by the government.

What is the principle of 'ius sanguinis'?

'Ius sanguinis' is a principle that determines citizenship based on descent, meaning that a person automatically becomes a citizen of a country if one or both of their parents are citizens of that country, regardless of the place of birth.

Can a person be a citizen of more than one country?

Yes, a person can have dual citizenship if they are born in a country that practices 'jus soli' and have parents from a country that practices 'ius sanguinis'. In this case, the individual can hold citizenship from both countries until they reach a certain age and are required to choose one.

What does 'jus soli' mean in terms of citizenship?

'Jus soli' is a principle where citizenship is determined by the place of birth. Anyone born in a country that follows this principle automatically becomes a citizen of that country, regardless of their parents' nationality.

What happens if a child is born in a country that follows 'jus soli' but has parents from a country with 'ius sanguinis'?

In this case, the child could hold dual citizenship, being a citizen of both the country where they were born (following 'jus soli') and the country of their parents (following 'ius sanguinis').

What is 'bipatride' or dual citizenship?

Bipatride, or dual citizenship, occurs when an individual holds citizenship in two different countries at the same time due to differing citizenship laws, such as one country following 'jus sanguinis' and another following 'jus soli'.

Can a person ever be stateless?

Yes, it is possible for a person to be stateless. For example, if a child is born to foreign parents in a country that practices 'ius sanguinis', but not in a country that practices 'jus soli', the child might not be recognized as a citizen by either country.

What is 'naturalization' in the context of citizenship?

Naturalization is the process by which a foreign national can apply to become a citizen of a country, subject to specific legal requirements and procedures.
