To become a citizen of the Vatican you must be appointed to work in a specific job there. This includes the Pope, members of the Roman Curia, the Swiss Guard, etc. If you leave your position or your assignment ends, your citizenship to the Vatican ends. That is why Pope Benedict XVI was given the title of Pope Emeritus rather than simply former Pope. The title gave him the right to remain in the Vatican and maintain his Vatican citizenship.
