Talk:Austrian nationality law

message: What, exactly, is meant by this statement?  I assume a person doesn't have to become an Austrian citizen, even if he/she is eligible to be naturalized.  Or does "discretionary" mean here that even if someone has satisfied all the legal eligibility requirements for naturalization, his/her application for citizenship can still be rejected by the Austrian government for whatever reason (or even for no good reason at all)?

thread_title: Naturalisation as an Austrian citizen is "discretionary"?

message: My mother is an Austrian citizen. She acquired the citizenship after I was born (I was born in 1977). My Grandfather was Austrian but since my mother was not born in Austria she never "bothered" to apply for it until recently.
:It's not that your mother applied for Austrian citizenship; she was already a citizen. It's just that she went through the process of having it formal recognized after you were born.
Does anybody know if what the rules are (if any) for me to obtain citizenship?
:If your parents were married at the time of your birth, Austrian citizenship would not have been passed down to you from your mother. If your parents were *not* married at the time of your birth, then you are already Austrian, and would just need to go through the same process as your mother, to have it formally recognized.

thread_title:  Question 

message: The text mentions that a settlement permit must have been held for at least six years but the Austrian citizen could also have returned to Austria after having exercised his/her treaty rights in another member state under EU law (Surinder Singh ruling) in which case the third-country spouse would hold a so-called Daueraufenthaltskarte.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Halx (talk • contribs) 08:49, 6 May 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Spouses of Austrian citizens 

message: I think the text needs some clarification on children with a foreign parent.  The requirement for Austrian citizenship is here that the foreign state must also follow ius sanguinis, i.e. the foreign citizenship is obtained automatically at birth. Halx (talk) 08:55, 6 May 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Dual citizenship 

message: Can someone please confirm, possibly with reference to official documents, that this is still valid?  There are two reason I have for thinking this has changed since 2008:
# The German version of wikipedia (http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%96sterreichische_Staatsb%C3%BCrgerschaft#Universit.C3.A4tsprofessor) seems to be saying that this was the case until 4 January 2008.**  (I am not fluent in German, so a German-speaker should confirm this)  In that article, there is a reference to a gazette, but, again, I'm afraid I don't have enough German to confirm this. 
#  A document entitled "Loss of citizenship: trends and regualtions in Europe". (http://eudo-citizenship.eu/docs/Loss.pdf) On page 12, it also refers obliquely to this isue and the date of 2008: "for example until 2008 by accepting an appointment as professor at an Austrian university"
