if you were born at sea, what would be your nationality
---
This should not be redirected from immigration law -- immigration and nationality law are very related but two different things -- one dealing with one's allegiance, the other with one's presence.
I have removed this note:
"Indo-Pakistani dwellers in Hong Kong are threatened with the prospect of their descendents being stateless because British nationality has limited transmission to them. To escape this fate, some have even applied for Chinese nationality with the Immigration Department and been granted same nationality. In fact, a child born in Hong Kong to parents both of whom are stateless will automatically have Chinese nationality. (See Chinese nationality law)"
Under British law:

I count 13 internal links to nonexistent articles out of the 58 links presently listed in the in the specific countries section. Is there any objection to my removing the dead links in this section? -- Boracay Bill 23:22, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
Hello everyone. I would like to draw your attention to a proposed guideline on the use of the terms 'citizenship' and 'nationality' in the {{ Infobox Person}} template. At present, the term 'nationality' is used to indicate both nationality and citizenship, and the purpose of the proposal is to put an end to that practice. The 'nutshell' description of the guideline is as follows:
"The terms 'citizenship' and 'nationality' are sometimes used interchangeably, but differ in important ways. In most circumstances, citizenship is easier to determine than nationality, and should be given priority. Nationality should be listed only in addition to citizenship, and only in cases where it is relevant to the article."
Your comments on the proposal's talk page would be appreciated! – SJL 19:37, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
Both articles are well below a reasonable standard of accuracy. The article Nationality deals with Citizenship, i.e., what country you can get a passport from. Nationality is not a legal term but refers to cultural roots - one can have the nationality of country A while being a citizen of country B. Moreover, the text in this article seems very uninformed and jives with the current international situation. E.g., children of US citizens born abroad also get US citizenship (there is an international treaty on citizenship), and there is no difference between father and mother. MAJOR OVERHAUL NEEDED.

Right now it is "Provisions to simplify immigration of favored ethnic groups" which is a mouthful... Something other like "List of countries with ethnocentric immigration laws" would work better? ImTheIP ( talk) 14:53, 11 August 2017 (UTC)

Here, I've added a section on the United States. This new section probably needs further work and some expansion. I stated in my edit summary adding the section that, as is, it "conflicts with the WP:LEAD of this article, which implies that Nationality is the same thing as National Citizenship." This has been touched on in the #This article and Citizenship need MAJOR overhauls section above. Wtmitchell (talk) (earlier Boracay Bill) 10:11, 20 February 2020 (UTC)
Is there any source that says that 'nationality law' includes anything about the rights and obligations of citizens? This seems to fall entirely within other categories of law, and nationality law really only comprises how citizenship/nationality is acquired and lost. It seems the nebulous definition has contributed to things like voting rights and visa freedom on many countries' nationality law pages, even though these sections are always redundant with other articles and are not part of this field of law.

What about the rule where nationality is awarded by appointment due to a job (jus officii) like in the Vatican City? I think this should be added. 50.74.231.163 ( talk) 12:47, 28 January 2022 (UTC)
