Vatican citizenship law

Common card · No. 395517

The primary law governing citizenship of Vatican City is the Citizenship, Residence and Access Law, which came into force on 22 February 2011. Vatican citizenship is granted almost exclusively to persons who perform specific duties to the Holy See or state administration of Vatican City. Family members of Vatican citizens may be granted citizenship if they live within state boundaries. Any person who does not meet the statutory employment requirement nor is a family member of a Vatican citizen, but has been granted permission to reside in Vatican City by the Pope, may be granted citizenship on a discretionary basis.
