Falkland Islands status is a legal status in the Falkland Islands (the Falklands form of belonger status) defined by section 22(5) of the Falkland Islands Constitution and the Falkland Islands Status Ordinance, 2007 and is considered to be the closest thing to citizenship that the Falkland Islands can grant.[1][2][3] The Executive Council of the Falkland Islands considers applications for status four times a year in January, April, July and October and advises the Governor as to whether or not they may be granted.[3] If the application is unsuccessful, the applicant has the right to appeal to the Supreme Court of the Falkland Islands.[2]
According to the 2012 census, a majority of those with Falkland Islands status are British citizens, with 11% coming from 58 other countries (including 18 Argentine nationals).[4]
