Global Citizenship by Descent Master Database

The Global Citizenship by Descent Master Database

Unlock Your Global Future: 247 Countries & Territories Mapped in One Comprehensive Spreadsheet

Ever wondered if your parents, grandparents, or even great-grandparents could qualify you for a second passport? Navigating immigration laws across the globe is notoriously confusing, filled with outdated forums, contradictory advice, and endless bureaucratic red tape. We did the heavy lifting so you don't have to.

The Global Citizenship by Descent Master Database is the ultimate, meticulously researched spreadsheet tracking citizenship-by-descent rules across 247 countries and territories spanning Europe, the Americas, Asia, Africa, and Oceania.

What’s Inside the Master Database?

Designed for digital nomads, expats, and global citizens, every single entry breaks down the exact criteria you need to know:

•  Citizenship by Descent Status: Instantly see whether a country offers an ancestry route, whether it's broad or strictly limited, or if the window has closed.
•  Generation Caps: Discover how far back your ancestry claim can reach—whether it stops at the parents (1st generation), grandparents (2nd), goes deep into great-grandparents (3rd), or offers unlimited descent.
•  Maternal vs. Paternal Rules: Understand historical and current gender-based laws that impact older births and whether mothers and fathers pass citizenship equally.
•  Key Conditions & Notes: Get crucial caveats on mandatory registration windows, language requirements, generational residency tests (like Canada's recent 3-year presence rule or Australia's descent tests), and dual-nationality restrictions.
•  Direct Sources & Confidence Ratings: Every country includes verified legal references or secondary source notes alongside confidence levels so you can verify the data yourself.
