Greek Nationality Law, January 2 (15), 1914 - Law No. 120 concerning the Amendment of Article 23 of the Civil Code of October 29 (November 10), 1856. (Translation) Sole Article. - Article 23 of Law 391 of the 29th October (10 November), 1856 is thus amended :- “Greek nationality is lost – “(a.) By naturalisation in a foreign country. For this there is required before- hand Government permission accorded through the Ministry of the Interior, which considers the circumstances of the case laid before it, but permission is never granted if the applicant is liable to or has not duly performed his obligations, or if he is being criminally prosecuted for an offence or crime. “(b.) By acceptance of public service with a foreign Government without permission from the King, if person concerned persists therein after an order has been communicated to him from the Greek Government to withdraw such service within a stated period. “If the acceptance of such service carried with it the acquisition of the nationality of the foreign State in accordance with the laws of that State, and in all other cases in which a Greek subject intends to acquire foreign nationality at his own request by virtue of a law of a foreign State, the provisions fixed in paragraph (a) concerning naturalisation holds good.” Athens, January 2 (15), 1914 Note.- According to information obtained by His Majesty’s Legation at Athens, the interpretation to be placed upon this law is that a Greek subject does not lose his Greek nationality by the mere fact of his having acquired a foreign nationality, but that such loss only follows the acquisition of a foreign nationality after the express permission of the Greek Government. A Greek subject, therefore, who acquires a foreign nationality without such permission, retains his Greek nationality together with all rights and obligations appertaining thereto.
