Mostly True Vatican City

The text states that if a Vatican citizen loses his citizenship, he automatically receives an Italian passport.

The claim that a Vatican citizen losing citizenship automatically receives an Italian passport is supported by web evidence indicating that those losing Vatican citizenship due to ending employment or residency acquire Italian nationality. This aligns with the transitional arrangement between Vatican City and Italy, hinting at an automatic process for acquiring Italian nationality once Vatican citizenship is lost. However, the evidence does not explicitly mention the issuance of an Italian passport upon losing Vatican citizenship.

Web evidence suggests that loss of Vatican citizenship results in acquiring Italian nationality, as Vatican City does not have permanent citizens due to its unique arrangements with Italy. The sources imply the issuance of an Italian passport but do not explicitly confirm automatic issuance.
