However, the wide range of asylum and migration across a country's geographical borders has led people of different nationalities to apply for new citizenship. But in order to obtain new citizenship, governments, based on the related higher policies, set the minimum conditions and criteria for obtaining citizenship, and finally, in the process that is known in the world today as "Citizenship Test" or "Nationality Test", Acquisition of these conditions is examined individually.
