}}Myanmar nationality law currently recognises three categories of citizens, namely citizen, associate citizen and naturalised citizen, according to the 1982 Citizenship Law.[1][2] Citizens, as defined by the 1947 Constitution, are persons who belong to an "indigenous race", have a grandparent from an "indigenous race", are children of citizens, or lived in British Burma prior to 1942.[3][4]

Under this law, citizens are required to obtain a National Registration Card ({{my|နိုင်ငံသားစိစစ်ရေးကတ်ပြား}}, NRC), while non-citizens are given a Foreign Registration Card ({{my|နိုင်ငံခြားသားစိစစ်ရေးကတ်ပြား}}, FRC). Citizens whose parents hold FRCs are not allowed to run for public office.[5]

Myanmar has a stratified citizenship system, similar to the distinction between the US nationals/citizenship, however, Burmese persons whose rights are distinctively different depending on the category they belong to and based on how one's forebearers acquired their own citizenship category.

  • Full citizens are descendants of residents who lived in Burma prior to 1823 or were born to parents who were citizens at the time of birth.
  • Associate citizens are those who acquired citizenship through the 1948 Union Citizenship Law.
  • Naturalized citizens are those who lived in Burma before 4 January 1948 and applied for citizenship after 1982.

Dual citizenship

Dual citizenship is not recognised by Myanmar, and as a result of the acquisition through naturalisation of another country's nationality automatically cancels Myanmar citizenship.

Naturalisation

Foreigners cannot become naturalised citizens of Myanmar, unless they can prove a close familial connection to the country.[6]

Rohingya citizenship

The law does not recognise Rohingyas as one of the 135 legally recognised ethnic groups of Myanmar,[7] thus denying most of their Myanmar citizenship.[8] The official stance of the Government of Myanmar is that the Rohingya peoples are citizens of the Bangladeshi nation, as a result of the British partitioning of their asian possessions.
