British citizenship via grandfather and designated services
Posted: Sat Jun 22, 2024 8:05 am
Hi. Hoping for some advice please.
Grandfather and grandmother born in the UK. Grandfather worked for British railways and was recruited in UK to Rhodesian Railways in 1952 and worked there until 1986.
Father born in Southern Rhodesia in 1958. Mother born in Northern Rhodesia in 1957. Parents married 1976. Sister born in Rhodesia in 1977 and I was born in Zimbabwe in 1981. We moved to SA in 1982 and only took up citizenship in 1996.
Are we able to apply for a british passport directly or through double descent due to crown services?
