Merve Erdilmen and Iseult Honohan Finally, Sweden in 2015 raised from 5 to 18 years the age up to which declarationbased citizenship is available to individuals born in Sweden, who are stateless since birth and resident in Sweden with a permanent residence permit. Two countries introduced more inclusive provisions for ius soli citizenship after birth (v). From 2015, children born and raised in Greece are eligible for facilitated naturalisation if their parents have legally resided in Greece for five years before the child’s birth and the child is enrolled in a primary school. Previously parents needed to have legal residency of 10 years or permanent resident status. Similarly, in 2017, Luxembourg introduced a provision granting automatic citizenship at 18 to those born in in the country, who have five consecutive years of residence, and one of whose parents lived in Luxembourg for at least one year prior to the child's birth. Furthermore, citizenship by declaration is available at the age of 12 for those meeting these conditions. Croatia, on the other hand, introduced in 2020 a restrictive change in ius soli after birth, by raising the number of years of residence from 5 to 8 years, and introducing language and culture tests. It should be noted that one country, Sweden, which does not have any general ius soli provision for children born in the country, awards citizenship by declaration for persons resident for three years as a child. Such a socialisation-based provision gives the opportunity to claim citizenship for those born in the country as well as to immigrant children, and may be seen as similar in effect to the provisions for ius soli after birth in those Member States that provide for this relatively unconditionally.
