Naturalizimi

Naturalizimi is a term that refers to the process by which a foreign national becomes a citizen of a country. This process is typically governed by the laws of the country in which naturalization is sought and often involves meeting a set of specific requirements. These requirements can vary significantly from one nation to another.

Commonly, naturalization involves demonstrating a period of legal residency within the country, a sufficient understanding of the country's language and civic values, and a commitment to upholding its laws. Applicants may also be required to pass a citizenship test, prove good moral character, and in some cases, renounce their previous citizenship. The specific duration of residency, the nature of language and civic knowledge tests, and the criteria for good moral character are all defined by national legislation.

The purpose of naturalization is to integrate individuals into the social and political fabric of their new country, allowing them to fully participate in its society. It grants them rights and responsibilities akin to those of native-born citizens, such as the right to vote, hold public office, and obtain a passport. The process is generally a formal legal procedure, often culminating in an oath of allegiance to the new country.
