Citizenship at birth through citizen/national-race parentage
Citizenship at birth is by descent and national-race lineage, not by birth on territory; there is minimal anti-statelessness protection, which excludes the Rohingya.

Myanmar citizenship through citizen parentage or a national race
Full citizenship flows to members of the recognized national races and to children of citizen parents; the 1982 law conditions citizenship on ancestral ethnic membership rather than pure jus sanguinis, producing associate and naturalized sub-tiers.
Naturalizationactive
Naturalized-citizen category (1982 law), effectively closed
The naturalized-citizen category is essentially limited to persons resident before 4 January 1948 (and their offspring) who furnish conclusive evidence; there is no ordinary open naturalization track by a fixed rolling residence term.
