The Nationality Law of the Republic of China () defines and regulates nationality of the Republic of China. It was first promulgated by the Nationalist Government on February 5, 1929 and revised by the Taipei-based Legislative Yuan in 2000, 2001, and 2006. The Act, like the Constitution of the Republic of China, makes no provision regarding citizenship. Citizenship rights in the Republic of China are currently restricted to persons with household registration in the Taiwan Area. The Act sets to define persons in terms of nationality (國籍), terming them as "nationals" (國民) rather than "citizens" (公民), a term that does not appear in the act. ==Nationality== Republic of China nationality generally follows ''jus sanguinis''. The law spells out four criteria, any one of which may be met to qualify for nationality: #A person whose father or mother is, at the time of his (her) birth, a national of the Republic of China. #A person born after the death of his (her) father or mother who was, at the time of his (her) death, a national of the Republic of China. #A person born in the territory of the Republic of China and whose parents are both unknown or are stateless. #A naturalized person. In the original version of the law nationality could only be passed from father to child. However, the law was revised in 2000 to allow citizenship to be passed on from either parent, taking effect on those born after February 9, 1980 (those under age 20 at the time of the promulgation). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Nationality law of the Republic of China」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
