Naturalizacja a poakcesyjne migracje: motywy ubiegania się o status obywatela państwa przyjmującego na przykładzie Polaków w Islandii
Naturalization and post-accession migrations: motives for applying for the status of a citizen of the receiving state on the example of Poles in Iceland

Summary/Abstract: The purpose of the article is to reconstruct the reasons why Polish immigrants in Iceland want to apply for Icelandic citizenship. As a result of the analysis, four main motivations for adopting Icelandic citizenship were distinguished: 1) the possibility of visa-free travel to the USA; 2) applying for citizenship "just in case"; 3) obtaining rights that only the Icelanders have and 4) the ability to decide about the fate of the community in which immigrants live. The analysis is based on semi-structured in-depth interviews carried out in Iceland in 2014.
