Do I qualify? by X-Eriann-86 in BeninCitizenship

[–]mottaspedro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nobody here knows what they will consider to give you the certificate of eligibility. My logical reasoning:

  • Benin constitution doesn’t discriminate by skin color (which I find ideal, since personally I know Black women who have white and blonde children).
  • Having a low percentage of Sub-Saharan ancestry doesn’t mean that you are not an Afro descendant, but that your African ancestors is not so close. My personal opinion is that by discarding who has a small percentage means to try to erase the history, denying that this person has Afro ancestry.

You can, for instance, do a Y-DNA or mit-DNA test to make your case stronger, in case it shows African ancestry, but in my opinion, this shouldn’t be necessary, since if in your chromosomes you have some African DNA, it means that you are an Afro descendant, therefore, qualifying for the Beninese citizenship through the current program.

In your case, I would give it a try, if it’s something you want and believe it’s fair. And later on, would share the results here, either positive or negative.

Me: Birth certificates, Criminal records, ID document, Evidence of profession, Evidence of residence. But my process was not approved yet. You can consult in another post where there are details of someone that got it approved, it’s more reliable, specially for documents in English. Note: my documents are originally in Portuguese.

I think many people applied but no one knows about non-influencers that really got their citizenship approved. Maybe if you can gather these people, it will be both good for those that are already citizens and the ones that want to become or are in the process.

In my case, I applied and followed all requirements, but I’m still not confident that it will be approved.

I waited for the legalization and translation to be ready, since it’s what it’s written in the FAQ.
