Mauritian Passport

Post new topic

Hello,

My mother recently got her Mauritian citizenship (Both her parents were Mauritian by birth)
She was not born in Mauritius, and my father is not Mauritian.

Could I possibly obtain citizenship through my mother?

Hi

Since  your mother was NOT born ( Jus Soli- right of soil) on the island and she got her Mauritian citizenship through the Jus sanguinis , I am afraid  you won't be able to obtain the citizenship through her  ( she does not have birthright citizenship like her parents).

FYI: Jus sanguinis (Latin: right of blood) is a principle of nationality law by which citizenship is not determined by place of birth but by having one or both parents who are citizens of the state.
