Numerous references to the case law of the Administrative and Constitutional Court offer profound insights into this central and important legal matter. The authors comprehensively discuss the practice of the citizenship authorities and subject it to a jurisprudentially sound critique.<\/p>\n
Dr. Rihs has co-authored a commentary on the provisions of \u00a7 13 and \u00a7 14 of the Austrian Citizenship Act. These two provisions allow persons who have lost their Austrian citizenship for certain reasons and stateless persons to (re)acquire Austrian citizenship.<\/p>\n
The path to Austrian citizenship<\/h1>\n
According to the case law of the Administrative Court, the granting of Austrian citizenship should represent the conclusion and culmination of successful integration in Austria.<\/p>\n
Applicants must apply to the competent citizenship authority for the granting of Austrian citizenship. The citizenship authorities only grant citizenship if an applicant fulfills all the requirements of the Austrian Citizenship Act (StbG). The administrative procedure that precedes the granting of Austrian citizenship is complicated and lengthy. An applicant for citizenship can help to shorten the duration of the procedure through good preparation and efficient representation.<\/p>\n
Citizenship law is the subject of legal policy discussions. The legislator, the administrative courts and the authorities contribute to the constant further development of citizenship law.<\/p>\n
