Grecce Simpliefies Citizenship Restoration

Schengen News

2025

According to this article in Schengen News, Greece is working to facilitate a process of recognizing the citizenship of Greek-born adoptees.

There are approximately 3,000 to 5,000 Greek-born adoptees (with the majority living in the USA) some of whom have made the request that they be re-registered as Greek citizens.

Secretary General of the Ministry of the Interior, Nasos Balerbas has stressed “anyone born to a Greek citizen, even if they are adopted, and their parents ask to renounce Greek citizenship, has the right to take it back whenever they want.”

Children and young people in social care, and those who have left, are often subject to stigmatisation and discrimination. Being stigmatised and discriminated against can impact negatively on mental health and wellbeing not only during the care experience but often for many years after too. The project aims to contribute towards changing community attitudes towards care experienced people as a group. See glossary HERE
