Naturalization
The normal route requires around fifteen years of lawful residence before an application may be made, with demanding assimilation requirements.
Policy catalogueNation, Citizenship, Immigration and Europe
Agreed PolicyDual citizenship between European countries is generally accepted; non-European citizens naturalizing into a European nation would be expected to renounce their former citizenship.
Restore Europe generally accepts dual citizenship between European countries, but expects non-European citizens who naturalize into a European nation to renounce their previous non-European citizenship.
Distinct European nations are political communities within a broader European civilization.
Implementation note
Europe is understood here geographically and through the movement's own network of national wings, rather than as EU membership.

The normal route requires around fifteen years of lawful residence before an application may be made, with demanding assimilation requirements.
Citizenship is membership of a historical political community rather than a function of residence, and Restore Europe rejects automatic territorial birthright citizenship as a general rule.
Europe should be a civilizational community of sovereign nations, not a centralized post-national state.
Every question in this catalogue carries a position. Entries marked Derived follow the direction of the manifesto without their implementation being fixed, and several name the legal or treaty change they would require. Positions are revised as the movement decides; the version and date above say which text you are reading.
