  • I think this applies indirectly to almost all laws. Most laws only apply to residents or workers or some group like that of the country making the law. The law itself does not care about citizenship but whether you can become part of the group strongly depends on citizenship. Commented Nov 18, 2022 at 11:05

  • @Jen Just a few other examples like the Norwegian one would be sufficient to admit that it is common. Note that the examples must 1) not be re immigration/visa laws; and 2) from jurisdictions which otherwise prohibit discrimination on the basis of citizenship/national origin.
