Re: Jamaican Citizenship question
[ QUOTE ]
I've been researching. If one of your parents or grandparents are born in Jamaica, or could have claimed Jamaican citizenship by right of Jamaican parentage, you can claim Jamaican citizenship by right of descent.
[/ QUOTE ] yes because once a grand parent is a citizen,their children would automatically be a citizen by decent,an das such the children be citizen by decent at birth.
As a matter of fact I don't know that the law exclude any person who's great grand ,or even four generations. The only legal onstacle is that all Jamaicans born before 1962 was British citizen at birth,and might not have aquired Jamaican citizenship after independence,but that is for the lawyers.
