Spanish Citizenship or Residance Permit for child born in Spain

[Patricia]

Hello Cris,

If you have been able to keep your Spanish ID ( and renew it ), there´s no reason why you would be unable to apply for your Spanish passport. We would need to understand that bit of information where you mention the passport was taken from you. You may have lost your citizenship due to the lack of use of it, as you have lived 24 years out of 25 in Lebanon and not used your Spanish citizenship. Therefore, this is a question that has to be made to the Civil Registry so they check their records. There are situations that allow the applicant recover the Spanish nationality but that depends on the cause of the loss, and as we still don´t have this information, I can´t advise now.

Dual citizenship is not allowed for Lebanese citizens. it is only allowed for nationals from Portugal, Navarra, Philippines, Equatorial Guinea, Latin American countries and basically Spanish former colonies.


If you wish, drop us an email and explain your case in detail so we can advise further.

Regards,

[Unregistered]
