recém-nascido abandonado ou encontrado/presunção de salvaguarda de apatridia (artigo 11.º, n.º 2) — NÃO há jus soli geral
Cidadania em Georgia
- Elegibilidade
- Desconfirmação positiva: a Geórgia NÃO tem jus soli geral — o nascimento no território georgiano não confere, por si só, cidadania, porque o artigo 10.º concede cidadania por nascimento apenas através de descendência (artigo 10.º, alínea a)) ou as salvaguardas enumeradas contra a apatridia. Como salvaguarda para um recém-nascido abandonado ou encontrado, um menor que viva na Geórgia e cujos pais sejam desconhecidos é considerado cidadão da Geórgia, salvo prova em contrário — uma presunção refutável (artigo 11.º). Como salvaguarda contra a apatridia à nascença, uma criança nascida na Geórgia, filha de apátridas com estatuto na Geórgia, e uma criança nascida na Geórgia que, de outra forma, seria apátrida, adquirem a cidadania georgiana por nascimento (Art. 10(c)/(d)), dando cumprimento às obrigações da Convenção de 1961 da Geórgia; um filho de barriga de aluguer nascido na Geórgia também está abrangido (artigo 10.º, alínea b)).

Visão geral
Positive disconfirmation: Georgia has NO general jus soli — birth on Georgian territory does not by itself confer citizenship, because Art 10 grants citizenship by birth only through descent (Art 10(a)) or the enumerated statelessness safeguards. As a foundling safeguard, a minor living in Georgia whose both parents are unknown is deemed a citizen of Georgia unless proved otherwise — a rebuttable presumption (Art 11). As a statelessness-at-birth safeguard, a child born in Georgia to stateless persons holding a status in Georgia, and a child born in Georgia who would otherwise be stateless, acquire Georgian citizenship by birth (Art 10(c)/(d)), giving effect to Georgia's 1961-Convention obligations; a child of surrogacy born in Georgia is likewise covered (Art 10(b)).
Quem se qualifica
- Foundling presumption (statelessness safeguard): a minor living in Georgia whose both parents are unknown is deemed to be a citizen of Georgia 'unless proved otherwise' — a rebuttable presumption of nationality for foundlings. - Statelessness safeguard at birth: a child born on Georgian territory to stateless persons having a status in Georgia acquires Georgian citizenship by birth (Art 10(c)) — a 1961-Convention-style otherwise-stateless safeguard. - Surrogacy safeguard: a person born on Georgian territory through extracorporeal fertilization (surrogacy) acquires citizenship by birth IF no country of citizenship of either parent recognises the person as its citizen (an anti-statelessness safeguard for surrogacy-born children).
Base jurídica
Primary statute: Organic Law Art 11(2) (foundling presumption); Art 10 (by-birth grounds exhaustive). Operative 1993-03-25–present. Authority: Public Service Development Agency (PSDA); President of Georgia (grant/loss decree).

eligible
Foundling presumption (Art 11): a minor living in Georgia whose both parents are unknown is DEEMED a citizen of Georgia 'unless proved otherwise'. This is a rebuttable statelessness-safeguard presumption of nationality, not general jus soli.
not eligible
POSITIVE DISCONFIRMATION (GE-ASSERT-007): Georgia has NO general jus soli. Birth on Georgian territory does not by itself confer citizenship; Art 10 confers citizenship by birth only via descent (Art 10(a)) or the narrow statelessness/surrogacy safeguards (Art 10(b)(c)(d)). Both parents are foreign citizens who recognise the child, so no safeguard ground applies.
not eligible
The Art 11 foundling presumption is rebuttable ('unless proved otherwise'). Where parentage and a foreign citizenship are later established, the presumption is rebutted and the Georgian citizenship may be terminated under Art 19(c) (GE-ASSERT-023). This is a status-correction on rebuttal, NOT punitive deprivation (Art 3(5)/Const 32(3)).
eligible
Surrogacy statelessness-safeguard under Art 10(b): a person born on Georgian territory through extracorporeal fertilisation (surrogacy) acquires citizenship by birth IF the country of citizenship of neither parent recognises the person as its citizen. The otherwise-stateless condition is satisfied, so the safeguard ground applies.
eligible
Art 10(c) statelessness safeguard: a child born in the territory of Georgia to stateless persons having a status in Georgia acquires Georgian citizenship by birth - a 1961-Convention-style otherwise-stateless safeguard. Georgia is party to the 1961 Convention (acceded 1 Jul 2014).
eligible
Art 13(3) statelessness-safeguard naturalisation: a minor born in Georgia who holds refugee or stateless-person status and has lived in Georgia for 5 years is granted citizenship under regular procedure WITHOUT verification of the Art 16 refusal grounds. (This is a naturalisation-track safeguard, not by-birth; it is grouped with the BTH safeguard route.)
