Cesación por ausencia - Pérdida de la ciudadanía a los 22 años

Escenarios de ejemplo

• IS CITIZENSHIP LOST at age 22. Born in Canada (jus soli): applicant holds Canadian citizenship by birth. Because applicant holds foreign citizenship (Canadian), the s12 statelessness exception per L. 62/1998 does NOT apply -- loss would not render applicant stateless. No s12 retention petition filed + no IS logheimili = automatic loss at age 22 per Act 100/1952 s12. Restoration path: establish IS logheimili + use IS-NAT-06 (s8(1)(5) former IS citizen 1y residence) or IS-DSC-RE-ACQUISITION-2Y-01 (s4 2y residence).

  Act 100/1952 s12 automatic loss at 22. L. 62/1998 carve-out does not apply: born in Canada = Canadian citizen by jus soli = not stateless = exception does not apply. IS citizenship lost at 22. s12 retention petition must be proactively filed BEFORE age 22.

• CITIZENSHIP PRESERVED BY STATELESSNESS EXCEPTION -- but FILE s12 RETENTION PETITION IMMEDIATELY. Born in UK to IS-citizen father: no UK citizenship (diplomatic exclusion from jus soli per British Nationality Act 1981). Applicant holds ONLY IS citizenship. At age 22: s12 automatic loss applies -- BUT L. 62/1998 statelessness exception overrides: loss does NOT occur if it would render person stateless. Since applicant holds no other citizenship, statelessness exception preserves IS citizenship automatically. HOWEVER: if applicant subsequently acquires any foreign citizenship, the protection lapses. File s12 retention petition proactively before age 22. Re Thingskjal 17/157: bill targets FRAUD-based deprivation, NOT s12 absence-based loss -- irrelevant to this scenario.

  s12 analysis: IS-citizen only (no UK citizenship due to diplomatic exclusion). L. 62/1998 carve-out: loss at 22 would render stateless = preserved automatically. But this protection is fragile -- lapses upon any foreign citizenship acquisition. s12 retention petition is strongly advisable. Thingskjal 17/157 is a fraud-deprivation mechanism, not relevant here.
