Countries with Birthright Citizenship
Almost every other country on Earth establishes citizenship as long as one parent or both parents are citizens (Jus sanguinis). Examples of this include Poland (both parents), Andorra (mother), Bahrain (father), and Iran (father). This is frequently referred to as granting citizenship through heritage rather than residence.
Nevertheless, some nations provide automatic citizenship (birthright citizenship) for every child born in the country.
Birthright citizenship (Jus soli) is a legislative policy under which any child born within a country’s border is automatically given citizenship in that country, even if their parents are not citizens. Currently, 35 nations in the world have unrestricted birthright citizenship (Antigua and Barbuda, Argentina, Barbados, Belize, Bolivia, Brazil, Canada, Chad, Child, Costa Rica, Cuba, Dominica, Ecuador, El Salvador, Fiji, Grenada, Guatemala, Guyana, Honduras, Jamaica, Lesotho, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Tanzania, Trinidad and Tobago, Tuvalu, the United States, Uruguay, and Venezuela).
