Holaaaa!
I wanna renounce my chinese citizenship and get a Spanish one. My parents arent Spanish though. I am a EU citizen and am under 18. Can anyone tell me the right procedures? I know you have to live in Espana for ten years in order to obtain it (through naturalisation). Btw I wasnt born there :(
Im 15 now, I am planning to move there soon and live there. Before going to the immigration towers in hong kong to sort it out, do i have to renounce my chinese citizenship first before gaining a spanish one?

Saludos! ;]

@LOL Cos I wanna be a Spanish citizen & want to get rid of my Chinese citizenship. I only want one, so I'm fine I dont need dual citizenship (: I have the British passport, by descent.

(Continued lol) And so what is the way to get it? As you said since I still have the EU citizenship i cant claim the Spanish one, so in what way I can? muchas gracias~

Como Va Usted?

Basically you cannot do that, nor will you be able to get Spanish Citizenship immediately after you renounced your Chinese Nationality.

1.) If you are a EU Citizen (No matter which one, as long as it is not Espana) You will need to register in Spain for 7 year before Spain will give you it's Spainish Citizenship. This is the law both Spain and EU, you cannot hurry the process.

2.) Even if you renounced your Chinese Citizenship, you still have the unmentioned EU Citizenship, and when you still have the EU Citizenship, you cannot claim Spain Citizenship via Stateless Rule (You are still a EU Citizen)

3.) Spain does not allow dual Citizenship, so it's kind of pointless for you to renounce CHinese Citizenship anyway.

So, in response to your question, it is pointless to renounce your Chinese Citizenship (if you have one) anyway, you cannot get Spain Citizenship faster, and once you got your spain Citizenship, your old EU Citizenship and Chinese Citizenship will be revoked anyway, so what is the points?

Gracia por el tiempo.
