Dual Citizenship, DV 2027 & Travel Tip
In this episode, I’m breaking down two big topics many of you have been asking about — the DV Lottery 2027 and dual citizenship. The U.S. government is open, but the DV Lottery is still not open yet, so I clear up the confusion around dates, the meaning of “DV 2027,” and the confirmed $1 application fee.
I also share key information from Zambia’s 61st Independence celebration, including the processes for dual citizenship based on when you obtained U.S. citizenship:
whether you need to file a Notice of Acquisition or apply for Bestowal to regain your Zambian citizenship.
This episode is not just for Zambians.
No matter where you're from, I encourage you to look up your own country's laws on dual citizenship and requirements for children traveling on foreign passports. Every country is different, and these details matter.
I also tell a personal story about traveling home with my son on his American passport — and how learning about Section 3 saved us from a potential border headache. This is a must-listen for any parent in the diaspora.
If you’re Zambian and need more information, you can contact the Embassy of the Republic of Zambia in Washington, D.C.:
