• Citizenship Law amendments could be adopted by 18 November 2012 

Telegraf interviews Ingmars Caklais, the chairperson of the Saiema's sub-Committee on citizenship about the draft amendments to the citizenship legislation. According to Mr.Caklais, citizenship legislation in Latvia has not changed during the last 15 years, while the reality changed significantly, because many Latvian citizens emigrated, thus, in order for Latvia not to lose its citizens, the amendments envisage dual citizenship. The amendments also envisage granting Latvian citizenship to those former citizens, who during the Second World war fled Latvia or were deported, remained abroad and did not apply for Latvian citizenship by the previous deadline (1995). Amendments also allow that in order to register Latvian citizenship of an infant child born to Latvian non-citizens, a request of only one parent is necessary (at the moment, a request by both parents is required). The draft amendments will be reviwed by the Legal Affairs Committee and the Parliament could adopt the amendments by 18 November 2012.
