In this section, I will tell you how foreigners can obtain citizenship of the Republic of Belarus, and how Belarusians can obtain citizenship of a foreign state.
OBTAINING CITIZENSHIP OF THE REPUBLIC OF BELARUS
How a foreigner can get citizenship of the Republic of Belarus? What documents are required? How to “return” Belarusian citizenship? What is the term for obtaining citizenship? Do I have to give up my current citizenship? Is dual citizenship allowed in Belarus?
This list of questions is not even close to exhaustive that people face when they think about obtaining citizenship.
First of all, I would like to note that there are three ways of acquiring citizenship of the Republic of Belarus:
- by birth;
- as a result of admission to citizenship;
- in the order of registration.
However, some foreign citizens can obtain citizenship under the simplified procedure.
The term of consideration of documents for admission to citizenship can be up to 1 year, and the term of consideration of documents for registration of citizenship can be up to 2 months.
In some cases the documents may be returned to you if you have filled out paperwork incorrectly or provided not all documents.
Moreover, the legislation provides for cases of refusal to consider documents, for example, a person has a conviction for committing a crime in Belarus.
That is why the issue of obtaining citizenship should be taken seriously.
Lawyer Kseniya Pinevich will help you figure out which method of acquiring citizenship is right for you.
An attorney will answer every question you have during oral or written consultation.
The lawyer will also help to collect the entire package of documents and send requests to the competent authorities.
OBTAINING EU CITIZENSHIP, OBTAINING CITIZENSHIP OF A FOREIGN STATE BY BELARUSIANS
What are the grounds for Belarusians to obtain citizenship of a foreign state? Is it obligatory to renounce Belarusian citizenship? How can Belarusian get citizenship of European Union?
There are many ways of obtaining foreign citizenship by Belarusian citizens (naturalization, repatriation, investment, marriage, etc.).
Lawyer Kseniya Pinevich will help you figure out which method is right for you.
There are many factors to consider to obtain citizenship, and each case is different. That is why I advise you to ask oral or written advice from a lawyer who specializes in this matter.
At your request the Kseniya Pinevich will draw up all documents, and will send requests to the competent authorities.
