A diaspora report shows that Zambians are able to hold more than just their Zambian passport. Dual citizenship involves the simultaneous holding of more than one citizenship, with each inferring certain rights and responsibilities that would normally adhere to a citizen in each of the individual countries.
These rights and duties apply, in most cases, irrespective of the length of time that the person spends in that particular country or the extent of his or her political, economic or cultural ties.
Zambia governments are tolerant of dual citizenship among Zambians in other to harness the energy and financial resources of their geographically dispersed citizenry.
Migrant networks influence cross-national ties between homelands and host-lands. They are an economic and political resource, acting as the human face of their homeland. They engage in lobbying, pressuring host governments for different policies that benefit their homeland, and through engagement promote their homeland’s interests and become quasi-ambassadors.
Economically, allowing dual citizenship transforms a portion of the population from a financial burden to a resource. It also grants Zambians the freedom to travel, the ability to find a better place to settle and perhaps retire.
As for the international transient investors, there are many considerations. It may allow them to broaden their financial horizons through the expansion of investment activities and the heightened privacy that it may allow. Depending on individual circumstances, dual citizenship may also be extremely beneficial from a tax-planning perspective.
Note: Citizenship is a political term, drawing its importance from the economic, political and social rights and obligations that come with it.
