Navigating Citizenship by Descent: Eligibility vs. Viability

At GlobalPassport, we understand that pursuing citizenship by descent can be a complex journey. One crucial distinction often overlooked is the difference between eligibility and viability. Let's explore what these terms mean for your citizenship by descent application:

‍

Eligibility: Your Legal Right

Eligibility refers to your legal right to apply for citizenship by descent. It's based on factors such as:

• Your ancestral lineage
• Dates of birth and naturalization of your ancestors
• Your own birth date

While eligibility is essential, it's only the first step in your journey.

‍

Viability: Your Path to Success

Viability is the practical ability to successfully obtain citizenship by descent. It encompasses:

• The specific requirements of your chosen consulate
• The interpretation of laws by individual bureaucrats
• The quality and completeness of your documentation

‍

Why Viability Matters

Even if you're eligible, the viability of your application can significantly impact your success. Consider these points:

1. Consulate variations: Different consulates may have varying requirements and interpretations of the law.
2. Bureaucratic discretion: Individual officials can greatly influence the outcome of your application.
3. Documentation challenges: Incomplete or improperly prepared documents can derail an otherwise eligible application.

‍

The Interplay Between Eligibility and Viability:

While eligibility determines your legal right to apply for citizenship by descent, viability determines your practical ability to succeed. An application that is both eligible and viable has the highest chance of success. However, a viable application can sometimes overcome minor eligibility issues, while an eligible but non-viable application may face significant hurdles.
