Parent or grandparents in the British Crown Service? – you could be eligible for British nationality – Sable International’s Mishal Patel

Loading player...
If your parent or grandparent served the British government in the Crown Service, you might now be entitled to a British passport. That is one of the routes open to South Africans, or Zimbabweans for British nationality. Mishal Patel, Director of Sable International’s Citizenship and Immigration division, told BizNews that this category does not only include Policemen and men who served in the army, it also includes teachers, nurses, and postmasters. Patel said proving eligibility could however be another beast as original paperwork is needed for an application. Patel warned those who might want to pursue this route, “Don't leave it too late before things change again and it becomes more difficult as it usually becomes every other year.” Learn more about your ad choices.
