Countries that pass citizenship by blood

These countries allow you to claim citizenship through a grandparent or earlier ancestor, even if you were born abroad and have never lived there. Does not include countries where only a citizen parent can pass it on — you'd already know about those.

Pathways marked “No generational limit” pass citizenship indefinitely through unbroken bloodlines — no generational cap, provided no ancestor renounced or naturalized elsewhere first.
