Pérdida de la nacionalidad naturalizada

Escenarios de ejemplo

Los escenarios de ejemplo se muestran en inglés.

• Nikolai · nationality: naturalized, takes another nationality

  Loses Panamanian nationality

  Art 13: naturalized (derived) nationality is lost 'por las mismas causas' — the tacit renunciation that only suspends ciudadania for natural-born citizens actually forfeits nationality for the naturalized.

• Naturalized re-acquiring · nationality: naturalized who wants dual

  Would lose Panamanian nationality

  For the naturalized, acquiring another nationality is tacit renunciation that forfeits nationality (Art 13) — the asymmetry with natural-born citizens.

• Eligible via this route if conditions of Const Art 13 are met.

  Nationality acquired by NATURALIZATION is LOST 'por las mismas causas' — i.e. by express or tacit renunciation (acquiring another nationality / enemy-State service). The asymmetry: naturalized nationality is losable where natural-born nationality is indelible (Const Art 13).

• Outcome turns on the precise statutory condition; see TRC tiers.

  A naturalized Panamanian must treat acquisition of another nationality — or entering the service of an enemy State — as a tacit-renunciation LOSS trigger under Constitucion Art 13, and must not assume the natural-born 'no se pierde' indelibility applies to them; it does not. The asymmetry is verbatim-stable across the pre-2004 and vigente texts, so the popular 'the 2004 reform lets everyone hold dual nationality' belief is a myth as to the naturalized class. That said, any ACTUAL deprivation is constrained: it must proceed through the applicable procedure (DL 3/2008 framework; Registro Civil /

• Rafael · nationality: naturalized Panamanian, believes the '2004 reform' allows dual

  Myth corrected — loses Panamanian nationality (there was no 2004 dual-nationality change)

  MYTH CORRECTION: there was no 2004 dual-nationality reform. Const Art 13 — under which adquirida/derivada (naturalized) nationality 'se pierde por las mismas causas' — is verbatim-identical pre-2004 vs vigente, so a naturalized Panamanian who voluntarily acquires another nationality still loses Panamanian nationality by tacit renunciation (contrast the indelibility natural-born citizens enjoy). The ONLY genuine 2004 Titulo II change is Art 11 (adoption now vests on inscription of the adoption in the Civil Registry); dual nationality was NOT touched.
