description Naturalisation provides not only access to the full range of rights and opportunities that are due to citizens, but also contributes to the formation of a sense of belonging to the host country, which is an important factor in social cohesion. In the globalisation context, migration processes are of particular importance, as the growing number of migrants in many countries necessitates their effective integration. Naturalisation is one of the mechanisms that facilitates the involvement of migrants in the political life of the country, giving them the right to vote and the opportunity to participate in the formation of public policy. The article focuses on the challenges and obstacles that migrants may face during the naturalisation process, including legal barriers, cultural and linguistic differences. Overcoming these challenges is important to facilitate the full integration of migrants into society. Based on an analysis of different naturalisation models, the paper examines how different countries approach the process of migrant inclusion. For example, some countries offer simplified naturalisation procedures for certain categories of migrants, while others require longer residence and demonstration of language and cultural proficiency. It is emphasised that naturalisation is a key factor in ensuring the harmonious integration of migrants into the socio-political structures of the host country. This not only contributes to economic growth and social stability, but also paves the way for a more inclusive and multicultural society. The importance of naturalisation for the political inclusion of migrants also lies in the strengthening of democratic institutions. Migrants who are naturalised as citizens have the opportunity to influence political decisions and elections, which contributes to the representation of diverse groups in political processes. This, in turn, leads to fairer and more balanced governance that takes into account the interests of all segments of society, including migrants. In addition, naturalisation promotes social cohesion, as migrants who become full citizens often feel more responsible for the welfare of the host country. This can stimulate greater volunteer and civic engagement, which is important for the development of a strong and cohesive society. The naturalisation process also has economic benefits.
