The federal government has directed Federal employees to declare details of any foreign citizenship held by them. Employees have been given 90 days to submit the required information under the new directive. The government has also introduced a prescribed form for collecting details about foreign citizenship. Ministries and divisions have been instructed to obtain the information and submit records concerning their subordinate officers.

The declaration process will cover more than the citizenship status of government employees. Officials must also provide information about the foreign citizenship held by their dependants. Details of travel documents belonging to their dependants will also be required.

According to the directive, Federal employees must disclose relevant information about their family members as part of the process. The government has included these requirements to collect comprehensive details about employees’ foreign citizenship links.

Government Issues Declaration Form

The federal government has issued a prescribed pro forma to standardise the collection of information. Ministries and divisions will use the form to gather details from officers working under their administrative control. The departments will then be responsible for compiling and submitting the requested information. Employees are expected to provide the required details within the specified 90-day period.

The directive also requires officials to disclose marriages to foreign nationals. This information will form part of the declaration submitted to the relevant department. The government has not provided further details in the supplied announcement about possible consequences for employees who fail to submit their declarations. The directive focuses on collecting information about citizenship, family travel documents and marriages involving foreign nationals.

Dependants’ Citizenship and Travel Documents Included

The declaration process also extends to the immediate family details specified in the government instructions. Employees must report any foreign citizenship held by their dependants.

They will also need to provide information about their dependants’ travel documents. This requirement expands the scope of the information beyond the employees themselves. Federal employees will also have to disclose marriages to foreign nationals. The information will help departments compile records covering the categories identified in the directive.

Ministries and Divisions to Collect Details

Ministries and divisions will play a central role in implementing the instructions. They have been directed to collect the required declarations from their subordinate officers and submit the details. The 90-day deadline gives departments a defined period to complete the information-gathering process. Employees will need to provide accurate details through the prescribed form.
