Austria granted 303 citizenships on special interest

Austria granted 303 naturalizations from 2006 to 2017 in special interest of the Republic according to a latest report. In 2017, 19 citizenships were granted for extraordinary achievements.

The Citizenship awarded “in the special interest of the Republic”  benefits, celebrities from business, sports, science and culture.  The Federal Government no longer announces who receives Austrian citizenship by express procedure, for privacy and data protection.  The residence requirements, language skills and renunciation of previous citizenship is waived for special cases.
