Mange syrere fikk statsborgerskap etter sju år i Norge

Det skyldes for en stor del at det i fjor var sju år siden flyktningstrømmen fra det krigsherjede landet.

– Mange av syrerne som kom da, hadde oppnådd minstekravet for botid for flyktninger, sju av de siste ti årene. De aller fleste – 83 prosent – av syrerne som fikk norsk statsborgerskap, var innvandrere. Mange av disse hadde ankommet landet seks til åtte år før, skriver Statistisk sentralbyrå.

Andre store grupper som ble norske statsborgere i fjor, var polakker, eritreere, svensker og briter.

Totalt sett er antall nye norske statsborgerskap omtrent som årene før. Etter lovendringen i 2020, da det ble allment tillatt å ha mer enn ett statsborgerskap, har antallet overganger ligget på omtrent 40.000.

I årene før lovendringen gjaldt rundt 80 prosent av overgangene tidligere statsborgere fra land i Asia, Afrika, Latin-Amerika og Karibia. Nå er denne gruppen bare rundt 40–50 prosent av totalen – selv om antallet faktisk har økt. Det skyldes at mange flere europeere nå har søkt om norsk statsborgerskap.
