My family is Rhodesian. Do i qualify in any way for British Citizenship?
Answer:
You may qualify for an ancestry visa if one of your GRANDPARENTS was BRITISH. I believe the grandparent has to have been born in the UK (or in Ireland if born before 31/3/1922). I'm rusty of these things having not worked on the Immigration Control for many years. UKG is a visa mandatory immigration category and you must have the visa when you enter the UK. Present all facts and paperwork to the British High Commission in Harare.
Look up UK ancestry visa on UK Google. It's all there....
What, when none of them were born in the UK?
Not sure of the answer on this one. Try looking at the Home Office website for information regarding UK Citizenship. My Mom was born in London so I got my citizenship through her even though the rest of my family were at one time Rhodesian. From one Rhodie to another I wish you the best of luck and hope Mugabe isn't around for too much longer to prolong your suffering.
If you have english blood I think so,I'm sure you can get in,I would try australia too.
Don't think so but just come and claim political asylum there's thousands already doing it so one more won't make any difference there might be a problem if you're white though as they prefer asylum seekers to be black. But good luck anyway
I presume that they were born before Independance giving them Dual Nationality, If you were born in Zimbabwe I don't know if you can Qualify but believe its possible! Try googling ' Rhodesian- British Citizenship!'
No, but you coould apply and see if they make a mistake.
I'm afraid i don't think you will be, as none of your parents or grandparents were born in the UK. It's a shame to say that AFTER all Rhodesia has stood by us in two world wars and a lot more besides that & now being screwed into the ground by some despot.
I wish you all the best of luck though, & why not fly over & apply for asylum.
I think your grandparents need to have born in the UK.
You might do. See British Nationality Act, 1958
you should mention your skin colour , black or white , as it shall put new light to the visa question.
If you family were themselves entitled to a British passport, an Ancestry Visa might be possible. You may need to do a bit of research. But with Zimbabwe being as it is, it may be difficult. Check with the Home Office.
We let Ridgebacks in so why not you?
