Spanish nationality by nature card
Nationality by nature card is one of the ways by which a foreigner can acquire spanish nationality. Of course, this form has an exceptional character. That is, not everyone is eligible for it and your application does not require a specific administrative procedure. Spanish nationality is acquired by nature card when the person interested in obtaining spanish nationality justifies the exceptional circumstances that make him worthy of nationality, thus bypassing the requirements that are required of the rest of the people interested in being spanish. An example of nationality by nature card is that granted to those athletes who have participated or are going to participate in international competitions as representatives of Spain. The football player Ansu Fati born in Guinea Bissau, player of the F.C. Barcelona, who due to his sporting performance and professional achievements has come to be considered one of the young talents in the world of football, acquired his spanish nationality by nature card in 2019.
