“Anyone who has lived in Scotland for 10 years at some stage of their life will be allowed to apply to become a Scottish citizen after independence, according to the white paper. It will also be available to anyone with a Scottish grandparent or parent, through a system of citizenship by descent. Those who will automatically be considered Scottish citizens are British citizens ‘habitually resident’ in Scotland – including those who have a dual citizenship with another country. Scottish-born citizens currently living outside the country will also be considered citizens. A Scottish passport will be available to anyone who acquires Scottish citizenship.”
