Hi all,
I am hoping to gain some clarity and reassurance with this post.
My father was born in Mauritius in 1952 and left the island with his parents to come to South Africa.
By 1968 he was granted citizenship in South Africa by virtue of naturalisation.
He has gathered together both of his parents original birth & death certificates as well as the original of his own birth certificate.
He is currently in contact with the Prime Minister's offices in Mauritius and has made plans to go there in September to swear the application form before the Supreme Court and hopefully be granted his resumption of Mauritian Citizenship.
With all the above taken into account, my question is two fold:
1) Would I be eligible to apply for Mauritian Citizenship once his application has been finalized and approved.
2) With all the original documents that are available, could I start my own application process regardless of my father getting his citizenship or not through my Mauritian descent?
Any clarity and feedback here would be greatly appreciated.
Regards
