Τα κριτήριαOver 500 years after their descendants were expelled from Spain in 1492, more than 132,000 Jews have applied for Spanish nationality under a limited-term offer, officials said Tuesday after the deadline expired.
Passed by the Spanish parliament in October 2015, the law sought to try and address a "historic mistake" by King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella who in 1492 ordered Spain's Jewish community to either convert to Catholicism or be burned at the stake.
The only other option was exile.
Though estimates vary, historians believe there were at least 200,000 Jews living in Spain at the time, who today are known as Sephardim -- the Hebrew term for Jews of Spanish origin.
Under the legislation, those able to prove their Jewish heritage and their "special connection" to Spain, were able to apply for citizenship, with the justice ministry saying it received 132,226 applications.

Although those applying did not have to be practising Jews, they needed to be able to prove a "special connection" to Spain.
They were also required to pass a Spanish language test as well as answering questions on Spain's culture and society.
