Greek Nationality Law - Loss of Citizenship

Loss of Citizenship

A Greek citizen may voluntarily renounce citizenship by submitting an application to the Ministry of Interior in Athens. For male Greek nationals, renunciation of citizenship is subject to the completion of their military duties.

Famous quotes containing the words loss of, loss and/or citizenship:

    Claudio. The old ornament of his cheek hath already stuffed tennis-balls.
    Leonato. Indeed, he looks younger than he did, by the loss of a beard.

    Nothing that grieves us can be called little: by the eternal laws of proportion a child’s loss of a doll and a king’s loss of a crown are events of the same size.
    Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)

    Our citizenship in the United States is our national character. Our citizenship in any particular state is only our local distinction. By the latter we are known at home, by the former to the world. Our great title is AMERICANS—our inferior one varies with the place.
    Thomas Paine (1737–1809)
