I believe the loss of Spanish nationality by naturalizaion for serving in a foreign army or public office will only happen if the Spanish government has expressively laid down a prohibition against it, as it says in article 25 of the law
¨«Artículo 25.
1. Los españoles que no lo sean de origen perderán la nacionalidad:
a) Cuando durante un período de tres años utilicen exclusivamente la nacionalidad a la que hubieran declarado renunciar al adquirir la nacionalidad española.
b) Cuando entren voluntariamente al servicio de las armas o ejerzan cargo político en un Estado extranjero contra la prohibición expresa del Gobierno.¨ — Preceding unsigned comment added by 177.40.201.190 ( talk) 07:26, 25 April 2012 (UTC)
Regarding claims that "Though not specified in the Civil Code, in practice, nationals of Iberoamerica [... etc] must be natural born citizens of their respective countries." (One couldn't for example gain Argentine citizenship and then Spanish citizenship.), Article 22.1 states:
My Spanish isn't great, but wouldn't "nationales de origen de países iberoamericanos" roughly translate as "of Ibero-American national origin"? It would seem to me that that fairly explicitly excludes naturalized citizens of those countries, rather than being some arbitrary interpretation of the rules by cynical officials. Yes, no? — Quintucket ( talk) 16:41, 9 February 2012 (UTC)
Yes, you are right. I guess the misconception arises in Latin American countries because the term nacional de origen is not used in their legislations, since these are mostly based on ius soli unlike Spain. -- dúnadan : let's talk 15:27, 10 February 2012 (UTC)

I think it would be worthwhile to reorganize the "Nationality By" section to the four classification the Spanish government used in https://administracion.gob.es/pag_Home/en/Tu-espacio-europeo/derechos-obligaciones/ciudadanos/residencia/obtencion-nacionalidad.html, i.e.,

I removed the italicized part in parentheses, relating to nationality by option for "those individuals whose father or mother had been originally Spanish and born in Spain (i.e. those individuals who were born after their parent(s) had lost Spanish nationality)." The Spanish civil code article 20 paragraph 1b simply says "Aquellas cuyo padre o madre hubiera sido originariamente español y nacido en España.". Of the following cases,
* A) Parent born in Spain as a non-Spanish citizen --> parent became Spanish --> parent gave birth to individual * B) Parent born in Spain as a Spanish citizen --> parent gave birth to individual * C) Parent born in Spain as a Spanish citizen --> parent lost Spanish citizenship --> parent gave birth to individual
...surely, the parents in B and C were both "originally" Spanish, ie parental loss of Spanish citizenship is not a necessary condition for the individual to exercise this option.
Also, this section fails to mention article 20 paragraph 3 "No obstante lo dispuesto en el apartado anterior, el ejercicio del derecho de opción previsto en el apartado 1.b) de este artículo no estará sujeto a límite alguno de edad." - ie "the exercise of the right of option provided in section 1.b) of this article will not be subject to any age limit."
