Spain citizenship through a great-great-grandparent

Not available

The same structural limit that closes a great-grandparent claim applies here too — Spanish descent-based routes do not reach this far back under any current provision.

The Rules That Decide It

  • Article 20 (parent only) and Article 22.2 (grandparent at most) both stop well short of this connection, and no other ancestry-based provision reaches further.

What To Do Next

  1. 01

    Check Article 22.1 independently, through your own current nationality or Sephardic origin, since it does not depend on this ancestor's generation at all.

  2. 02

    Otherwise, this line does not currently open a route to Spanish citizenship.
