My main question is: Would my Maltese born grandfather, need to have been married to my South African born grandmother in order for me and my father (who were both South African born) to qualify for Malta Citizenship by Descent?
Want to apply for Malta citizenship through descent
I was South African born, as was my father.
However, my grandfather was born in Malta as was his parents and generations before them.
I have basically all documentation needed to apply, except my grandfather's marriage certificate.
Due to South African government being a nightmare when it comes to finding documentation, we have been unable to track down my paternal grandfather's marriage certificate.
