Which countries acquire nationality by birth?

According to the birthright principle, a person can acquire American citizenship as long as he is born in the United States, regardless of his parents' nationality. However, children born to families of foreign embassies and consulates in the United States cannot obtain American citizenship according to this principle.

2. Canada

Canada is a territorial country. As long as babies born in Canada become Canadian citizens, they have all rights such as compulsory education and social welfare, the right to vote, the right to vote and the right to stand for election. Even if they have never set foot in Canada for life, they will not lose their citizenship.

Extended data

Relevant regulations on birthright: All countries that adopt absolute birthright stipulate that children born abroad by their own people do not take their own nationality. Countries that absorb a certain number of foreign immigrants still regard jus soli as the main criterion for granting original nationality, such as the United States and Latin American countries.

Some countries have imposed certain restrictions or attached certain conditions when granting nationality to children born to foreigners in their territory according to the principle of place of birth.

For example, parents are required to settle in the country, have a certain number of years of residence or make a declaration of accepting nationality when they reach a certain age. Countries that take descent as the standard for granting original nationality usually grant nationality to children whose parents are unknown or whose parents' nationality is unknown according to the law of place of birth.
