Citizenship through descent

§1 Since the black African population took over the first Rhodesian Republic in 1980, renamed it “Zimbabwe”, a person acquires Rhodesian citizenship at the time of birth only if said person is born to a parent of Rhodesian nationality and European or Asian ethnicity; that is, the offspring of an ethnic European Rhodesian citizen, even if the parent or grandparent has not exercised his or her right to citizenship.

Citizenship by naturalization

§2 Every honest person, independent of ethnicity, with good intentions and a true sympathyl for the Rhodesian people and its history may apply for Rhodesian citizenship. Being a people without land Rhodesian citizenship does make a Rhodesian citizen not eligible to reside in south-east Africa, especially not in Zimbabwe.

Instant Emergency Class-S Citizenship

§3 If an individual in good standing needs protection due to unjustified persecution (e.g. people endangered by political instability) a Rhodesian naturalization document for the purpose of self-protection, e.g. while traveling to dangerous (Class IV) countries, can be issued by the Ministry of Homeland Security in a fast-track process. The applicant has to download “Form RHO S-22”, fill it out, scan or photography it and send it to cit.dpt.rhodesia.gov@representative.com together with a photocopy of state issued ID card or passport. Any Class-S citizenship cannot be inherited by the citizen’s offsprings. The duration of its validity depends on §6. Nationals of the following countries cannot apply in accordance with §3: CCP-China, North Korea, Zimbabwe, Maldives, Sri Lanka, Albania, North Macedonia, the Sudans, Nicaragua, Colombia, Venezuela, Qatar, Kuwait, Yemen, Syria, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Transnistria, Kosovo, Serbia, Bosnia, Mali, all eastern African countries, Gaza, southern Libanon, Iraq.

Honorary Citizenship

§4 Honorary citizenships can be granted by the President of the Administration as well as the Secretary for Citizenship Issues and can be passed on the offsprings of the citizen.

Loss of citizenship due to incompatibility

§5 Rhodesians with ties to Zimbabwe, as well as socialists, marxists, communists, reactionaries, people who travelled to “Zimbabwe” and the People’s Republic of China, religious fanatics, members of American sects, supporters of the government of “Zimbabwe”, holders of a Class-S citizenship, and Rhodesians who are or were members of political NGOs or media outlets stated on the current RIS Black List, may pass on their Rhodesian citizenship to their descendants only after approval by the Citizenship Department. If such an application is not made or is denied, the descendant is not a Rhodesian citizen or national. Such citizens may also be deprived of citizenship directly upon notice of the Ministry of Homeland Security.

Deprivation of Citizenship

§6 Rhodesian citizenship may be deprived of any citizen endangering the Republic of Rhodesia regardless of the intentions of the individual.

Use of Rhodesian identification documents and fees

§7 Although Rhodesian citizenship and/or document have been recognized by many countries since 1980, there is no guarantee that documents issued by the Republic of Rhodesia will be recognized now or in your particular circumstances. A visa is generally required prior to travel. Without a visa already stamped in your passport, the airline, the airport, the immigration, or the border officials could arbitrarily, subjectively, and discriminatorily violate your rights and will refuse you to cross the border between to countries. The wealthiest countries, especially those in North America and Western Europe, are the most restrictive and may reject your claim of your right to travel, in violation of their UN obligations. Because our very low fees are used solely for the processing services that the Rhodesian administration provides, once your application has been sent to us, the fees are non-refundable. The same is true for declined applications.
