Immigration

Immigration Permits & Nationalisation

Following the amendment of the Constitution of Zambia in 2016, our laws currently permit citizens to obtain dual nationality after decades of independence. Owing to the diverse citizenships that Zambians have adopted over the years across the globe under the previous Constitution, we at MLP take this shift in the law as a step in the right direction.

Once approached with a matter bordering on obtaining citizenship in Zambia, our dedicated team will take time to analyse your individual set of facts before we render our advice. Knowing fully well that each individual comes with her/his own unique background and scenario, our primary task is to carry out a personalised assessment of the obtaining facts. Our findings and your valuable input then form the basis on which applications are made; we will walk with you right through to the end of the process.

Under the current law on nationalisation former Zambians, persons desiring to be first time Zambians as well as those desiring to hold dual nationalities are welcome to contact us for further information.
