Stateless application refused

[Argos]

Hello, my brother and I are Palestinian Nationals who have the Palestinian travel documents but also had the tanzanian citizenship as our mother is tanzanian. Our tanzanian citizenship was revoked due to the fact that dual nationally laws within the country states that nobody is allowed to have dual citizenship so they forcefully revoked my tanzanian citizenship in the airport with no legal process therefore no documents to state as such. I couldn’t renounce my Palestinian travel document because my British student visa was in it as well as my former UAE residence visa in which I applied for a student visa from the UAE in 2016. So my brother and I applied for a stateless application here in the UK as we have nowhere else to go. We were born in the the UAE in which I was not granted citizenship due to their laws and I have no residency there anymore because I am over 18 and can no longer be sponsored by my father to stay in the country (he’s Palestinian but we were dependants on his residence visa). The home office have refused our application as well as our appeal because they said they have no evidence of our tanzanian citizenship being revoked which is understandable as they revoked it illegally which means We received no document confirming it therefore not having evidence of it being revoked. I have no idea what to do now my student visa expires in September (I’ve had a student visa here since 2016 and our tanzanian citizenship got revoked in 2017 when We went to visit) will someone give me some sort of advice?

I'm sorry for your situation.

You should find a way to show that the Tanzanian government is denying you citizenship, that's the ky element in your statelessness application.

I suggest you apply for a Tanzanian passport at the embassy here in the UK and use the denial as evidence.

I agree with the previous poster.

Apply for the Tanzanian passport at the embassy without telling them anything. 2 things may happen:

1 - If the citizenship wasn't revoked and just the passport taken away without due process, it's possible that the Tanzanian authorities in London would deliver a new passport without any question. Si it's a win for you.

2 - They deny your application and this will leave some paper trail you can use.

Many countries as very picky about dual citizenship. Did you go both to Tanzania flashing foreign passports at the border?

Hello, yes the tanzanian government know I have a Palestinian travel document because: when entering into tanzania I would travel from the UAE in which I had a residency visa there so I could only travel from the UAE in which my UAE residency visa was in my Palestinian travel document so Every-time I used to enter Tanzania or leave, I must show my Palestinian travel document as proof of my residency in the UAE so they knew.

Thank you very much for the advice I will attempt to do that though I have one more question, for the time being since I am unable to even apply for a visa to travel because of corona, how shall I get my leave extended temporarily? So I won’t overstay since I have nowhere to go originally (for the reasons I stated) aswell as the fact that coronavirus just slashed what little chances I already had.
