Nationalized 482 foreigners in Ibiza

The past year, 482 foreigners requested to become Spaniards, 342 more than year 2000, according to the data of the Civil Registration. If you want to know why every one wants to be a spanierd you have to come to Ibiza.

Of the different modalities to obtain the citizenship, only the one of ` varios´ (that includes the modality of ` option´ by which, among other assumptions, the children have been born Spaniards can be recognized as spanierds) stays in similar levels, when happening from 28 to 24. The formula more used to obtain the Spanish D.N.I. is the one of ` residencia´ (10 years of domiciliación in Spain as a general period, although with exceptions for Hispano-Americans and refugees, among others), that is what was used by 365 people in 2005, as opposed to the 108 of 2000. This increase of 238% remains small if compared with the rise of the 2,225% (it has gone from 4 to 93) in the case of ` presunción´, by which the children of foreign parents been born in Spain obtain the nationality if the legislation of the country of his ancestors prevents them to inherit the citizenship.
