I'm also wondering did Tanzania have a loss of nationality clause at a particular age (like Kenya at age 23). It seems that Qarrar's father may have been a CUKC by descent and if he was registered as Tanzanian as a child is it possible he might have lost that status by 1985?ppron747 wrote: I only have the citizenship legislation from around the time of independence, but it seems pretty clear that, having been born in Tanzania without a parent who was born there, Qarrar's father wouldn't automatically have become a citizen of Tanzania on independence.
It was a "thinking more quickly than typing" error - now corrected. Thanks.Incidentally JAJ - not sure if it is a typing error, but are the words "on a work permit" missing from the 2nd sentence of your post of 1.19AM?
There was a similar loss provision to that imposed by Kenya - if you held another citizenship at age 21 you lost Tanz automatically... Which means that a lot of people would have lost, given that the age of majority in many countries (including UK) would have been 21 at that time. So for many people it would actually have been impossible to meet the requirement to renounce the other nationality, as renunciation by minors isn't generally possible....JAJ wrote:I'm also wondering did Tanzania have a loss of nationality clause at a particular age (like Kenya at age 23).

It may depend on when Grandfather renounced his CUKC and when the father was born.
Absolutely nothing. Except keep you in stateless limbo with no right to work in the UK but also no right to leave it!Even if the explanation is rubbish, it still begs the question as to what HO can do to return a non-Tanzanian to a country he wasn't born in, and isn't a citizen of, if (heaven forfend) it comes to that...
This is the British Nationality Act 1981 (as originally enacted, in pdf format)Qarrar wrote: Option two
I have searched the internet and legal databases for the British Nationality Act 1981 (Full Text) to no avail. If you have access to a soft copy of this can you please email it to me so that I can take a look at the provision.
