In 2025, Germany saw a record high of 332,500 naturalisations, a 14% increase from the previous year. The largest group were Syrians, followed by Turks and Russians. Notably, naturalisation rates surged among Bosnians, US citizens, and Albanians. The reform of citizenship law allows dual citizenship and reduces the waiting period for naturalisation. AfD leader Alice Weidel criticized mass naturalisations, while discussions on the future of Ukrainian nationals' temporary protection are ongoing. Union politicians call for stricter naturalisation laws, but SPD supports the current model.
