Talk:Austrian nationality law
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Naturalisation as an Austrian citizen is "discretionary"?
What, exactly, is meant by this statement? I assume a person doesn't have to become an Austrian citizen, even if he/she is eligible to be naturalized. Or does "discretionary" mean here that even if someone has satisfied all the legal eligibility requirements for naturalization, his/her application for citizenship can still be rejected by the Austrian government for whatever reason (or even for no good reason at all)?
