Frequently asked questions
By office rather than by birthplace or descent. It is granted to those holding an office or performing a function in service of the Holy See, and to certain resident family members under prescribed conditions, and it ends when that office ends. Holders retain their original nationality — Vatican citizenship is additional, not a replacement.
No. There is no naturalisation by residence, no citizenship by birth — in practice the Vatican has no maternity facility so births there essentially do not occur — and no investment programme. If anyone offers Vatican citizenship in any form, it is absolutely fraudulent, without exception.
No. Vatican law ensures nobody becomes stateless when their Vatican citizenship ends: the person reverts to their original nationality, and where none exists, arrangements with Italy apply. It is the only country in this library with such a standing provision, because it is the only place where citizenship ending is treated as normal and predictable.
The Holy See is a subject of international law — establishing diplomatic relations, concluding treaties, sending and receiving ambassadors. Vatican City State is the territory, created in 1929 to guarantee the Holy See an independent territorial base. The diplomatic relations countries establish are with the Holy See, which is a permanent observer at the United Nations rather than a member.
Because the numerator is recorded incidents, chiefly pickpocketing in St Peter's Square and the museums which receive millions of visitors annually, while the denominator is the resident population of around 800. Dividing a figure generated by millions of visitors by a denominator of 800 produces an enormous ratio. The number is arithmetically correct but the division is in the wrong place.
When you read that programme X has a 98% approval rate, ask what the denominator is: 98% of applications submitted, or 98% of applications that passed preliminary screening. Those are very different numbers and both can be called an approval rate.
One must be a Swiss citizen, male, Catholic, have completed basic training in the Swiss armed forces, meet age and minimum height requirements, and be unmarried on joining. During service they hold Vatican citizenship; on leaving it ends and they revert to being simply Swiss citizens.
No, there are three: the Vatican and San Marino are both entirely within Italy, and Lesotho is entirely within South Africa. The Vatican is, however, the only case where an entire country is a UNESCO World Heritage site.
