about acquiring citizenship???

Post by spartan » Thu Dec 31, 2015 10:34 am

If I acquired Finnish citizenship, is it automatic that my kids below 18 years of age will be Finnish Citizens also?

Addtl info:
1. They never been to Finland
2. Our originating country is not in EU but allow dual citizenship.
3. If I plan to bring them here assuming I already acquired it(finnish citizenship), how long will it take for my kids to have the same privilege.
Thank u in advance

Assuming the mother is not a Finnish citizen (otherwise you probably wouldn't be asking), then the answer is nope.
At the the time of their birth, you weren't a Finnish citizen.

Every case is unique. You can't measure the result of your application based on arbitrary anecdotes online.
