Carlos Segura
: Sorry, they are not foreign nationals, they are Spanish nationals. I believe here we have "naturalised nationality vs nationality of origin".

: Sorry, they are not foreign nationals, they are Spanish nationals. // Thanks, Peter! This is largely symbolic (or self-perpetuating need for funcionarios) Same rights with nationality of origin as with naturalized nationality for Spanish nationals.

Point taken, Carlos! I was under the impression that a difference in rights/privileges for naturalized people is against European guidelines.// Thanks for enlightening me, Carlos!

: In Spain grandchildren of Spaniards were granted the Spanish nationality with favoured conditions as against those for other foreigners. So I'd use your first option rather than "foreigners".

naturalized / naturalised nationality
nacionalidad no de origen - nacionalidad de origen : both categories here refer to Spanish nationals, but this is about naturilized citizens who want their Spanish nationality to be recognized as being the "nationality of origin" (by virtue of place of birth, family...), or in other words, they want to be recognized as having been Spanish nationals all along.
It is not "foreign/alien nationality" as proposed by some collleagues.

Kathryn Litherland
: Yes, I think it's talking about people petitioning to be reclassified from naturalized citizens to citizens by birth

Which goes with "of origin" and "not of origin", which was later approved for this article: http://www.maec.es/en/MenuPpal/Actualidad/Notas de Prensa/Pa... by the proofreader. I think it works. Thanks everyone for your help. You came up with some great alternatives. Always appreciated. Have a nice week. :)
